It comes as flagstone and tumbled flagstone at our Excelsior Road yard; stock varies, so call before you visit. Petrified Seashore Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard. Petrified Seashore stands out for its surface. It is a sandstone that is smooth, flat and very durable, so it makes a comfortable, even walking surface. The color runs from buff to dark brown, a natural earth range that suits almost any home. A flat, smooth stone is easier to set level and easier on furniture legs, which is why many people choose it for patios and dining areas. It also comes tumbled for soft edges. ## Smooth, flat and durable The flat face of Petrified Seashore means less leveling work and a steadier surface for chairs and tables. Colors move from pale buff through medium tans to dark brown. A patio built from it has a warm, varied look without busy contrast. Durable, flat sandstone like this suits busy family patios where kids, pets and furniture all share the space. It is easy to sweep and hose off. ## Flagstone and tumbled Standard [flagstone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/flagstone/) has natural edges for patios, walkways and stepping stones. The [tumbled](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/tumbled-flagstone/) form has been machine tumbled so the edges are smooth and rounded. Use it for pool coping, step nosings, wall tops and seating. ## Tips for a lasting install For patios under a table, a hard set on concrete keeps everything level long-term. For a garden path, a soft set on sand and DG stays permeable. Bring measurements and ask staff about thickness. Because stone sells by weight, staff quote it by phone or in person at the yard. ## Popular uses - Outdoor dining patios - Smooth walkways - Tumbled pool coping - Step treads - Wall caps ### Is it in the yard today?
