A traditional flagstone driveway is made using cut, irregular stones that convey a distinctively Old World European sensibility. In particular, it provides a superb compliment to French, Italian, Mediterranean, and other styles of Western architecture. Depending on the way the stone is cut, it can be used to support either an formal home and residential landscape design, or it can be used to create a countryside look reminiscent of Old Europe and early Colonial America. It can even be used to support a patio home built to look like a small cottage.
If a home has a distinctively formal appearance, such as we see in many Italian style homes, cut flagstone can emphasize this formality with symmetrically shaped stones whose colors directly correspond to those of the home.
Flagstone comes in many different shades of red, blue, or brown. This spectrum makes it possible to match hues very closely to those of a home and create a drive that introduces the essence of one’s home life to guests pulling immediately off the street.
