Ask the yard which sizes are in today, since stock changes with quarry access. Cherry Creek Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard. Cherry Creek is for people who want color that is not brown or tan. It is a purple slate, and gray and green hues run through it. Slate splits into flat layers, so it lays down well as flagstone for patios and paths. The purple ties in nicely with lavender, sage and other gray-green plants common in Sacramento gardens. Stop by the yard to see how the colors change from piece to piece. ## Purple with gray and green The base color is purple. Gray and green hues show in some pieces more than others, which keeps a large patio from looking flat. When the stone is wet, the colors deepen. A color-enhancing sealer can bring that wet look back on dry days. See [sealing flagstone](https://midvalleyrock.com/rock-talk/sealing-flagstone/) for how to do it. ## Using Cherry Creek flagstone As [flagstone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/flagstone/), Cherry Creek suits patios, walkways, stepping paths and garden landings. You can also mix it with other stones. A purple slate next to a blue or lilac stone can look planned rather than random. Our [mixing stone types](https://midvalleyrock.com/rock-talk/mixing-stone-types/) article has ideas. ## Before you visit Measure your area with a tape and bring the numbers. A photo of your house and your landscape plan help staff suggest color and quantity. The [flagstone calculator](https://midvalleyrock.com/flagstone-calculator/) is a good first step.
