Maple Creek flagstone

Maple Creek looks like it came straight out of a streambed. The stone is gray, and water has washed it smooth. It comes in flat slabs, so you get that creek-worn surface in pieces you can walk on. Gray stone is a calm backdrop for plants and works with modern and traditional homes. If you want a natural look with a smooth surface, put Maple Creek on your list for your yard visit.

Smooth, gray and waterwashed

Three words describe Maple Creek: gray, smooth and flat. The waterwashed surface has soft contours with no sharp ridges.

Gray stone shifts with moisture. Ask staff to hose a slab so you can see the darker wet color next to the dry one.

Using flat slabs in the landscape

Lay Maple Creek as a patio, a stepping path or a set of broad garden steps. It also suits the edges of a dry creek bed, where the waterwashed look feels right at home.

For anything in or near water, tell staff the use so they can confirm the stone suits it. Our guide to choosing stone for water features explains why.

Ordering Maple Creek

Flagstone is sold by weight from the pallet. Bring your measurements, or a landscape plan if you have one.

Quotes are by phone or at the yard. If you need a large amount, say so up front so the staff can plan matching stone for the whole job.
