At AC Cornerstone Building, we design and install custom flagstone pathways and patios in Austin, TX, with a focus on craftsmanship, long-term performance, and a natural look that fits right into the Central Texas landscape.

Why Choose Flagstone for Your Patio or Pathway?

Flagstone is a go-to choice for Austin homeowners because it blends rugged durability with timeless style. Each stone has its own texture, tone, and shape, creating a look that’s organic and one-of-a-kind—perfect for everything from Hill Country homes to modern backyard escapes.

Here’s why flagstone stands out:

Long-Lasting: Flagstone resists cracking and holds up to high foot traffic and Texas heat.

Low Maintenance: Just sweep or hose it off—no staining or sealing required for most installations.

Non-Slip Surface: Naturally textured for safer walking, even when wet.

Natural Drainage: Dry-laid installations allow water to pass through gaps, helping with runoff.

Custom Look: Each installation is unique, with options to match your home’s color and style.

Whether you’re tackling a small garden walkway or building a full outdoor living area, flagstone is a material that delivers both form and function.

Flagstone Options and Layout Styles

Not all flagstone is the same—and that’s a good thing. We help you select the right type of stone and layout to match your vision, your home’s architecture, and how you use your outdoor space.

Popular Flagstone Types:

Limestone: Light-colored, common in Texas, and easy to shape—great for patios and pool decks.

 

Sandstone: Earthy tones with excellent grip and texture.

 

Quartzite: Dense and durable with subtle sparkle and cool color options.

Layout Styles:

Irregular (Natural Fit): Uneven shapes pieced together for a rustic, organic look.

Cut/Patterned: Square or rectangular stones set in repeating patterns for a cleaner, more modern appearance.

Stepping Stones: Spaced-out stones in gravel or grass—perfect for pathways.

Dry-Laid vs. Mortar-Set: We’ll help you choose the right installation method based on drainage, soil, and style preferences.
