An Overview
Flagging is the process for natural stones whereby each irregularly shaped are laid out together like a puzzle. These flagged stones are often used in patios, decks, walkways or pathways. It is likewise used in fences and roofing as well. Aside from just simply calling the process "flagging," others call it “pattern flagging.” As the name implies, it becomes an over-all pattern of irregularly shaped stones beautifully designed to suit floorings and sometimes walls.
Flagging came from the stone used in most patterned flagging - flagstones. Generally, flagstones are flat natural stones and are usually used in a variety of stonework related jobs. Treading on the other hand, as opposed to flagging is a process wherein stones are cut in a specific size. They undergo a special kind of processing using water and heat.
