Pennsylvania Blue Stone

What is Pennsylvania Blue Flagstone?

Pennsylvania Blue Stone harvested only on the northern east coast between Pennsylvania and New York, is a high density natural product.  The stone is a sandstone and is a build up of sedimentary rock particles compressed together over many years.

Pattern flagstone comes from deep layers of a quarry.  Thermal flagstone is the most dense blue stone product.  Cubes are cut from the quarry then sliced horizontal.  Thermal or spalling occurs when the stone has been soaked with water and torched with a propane torch.  The end result leaves the stone smooth and completely even.  The large slabs are then cut into the pattern squares and rectangles.

Natural cleft Pennsylvania blue flagstone is left to air dry and does not go through the spalling process. 

The term flagstone is just a general term.  It is in reference to a flat stone that is used for turf applications as in, patios, walkways or flooring.

Stone for a Shed

Are you getting a storage shed placed at your residency?  Did you know you need to have a stone base for it?  Here are some tips!

Do you use 3/4" crushed stone or a 2A modified (crusher run)?

- Most of the time it is preference
- Crusher run can be used if there isn't a standing water or water issue
- Lots of water in the area use 3/4" stone (helps with drainage)
- Crusher run compacts almost as a asphalt

Tips for before placement

- Where will you be placing it?
- The gravel area should be 2' wider all the way around the shed.
- Measure where the center of the shed would be, mark with marking paint where the end of the shed would.  From the end of the shed mark another 2' out.
- Using pressure treated wood works best around the area to keep the gravel in and to make sure your shed is level.
- Get a string line, bubble level and stakes to mark how deep the stone will have to be to make the shed level.
- Place the timbers and fill the shed area with the stone you ordered.


Did you know that gravel base is just a plain granite stone?

- Think about the 2' around the shed being a decorative gravel
- Would you rather place plantings around the shed? (Get Topsoil)
- The base stone doesn't need to be seen on the finished product.
- Delaware Hardscape offers delivery from a truck that can do 2 materials at the same time with out them mixing and maxing out at 8 tons.

10 x 12 Shed
- Lets say you need 2" - 6" of stone on a 12 x 14 area
- You would need 2.75 tons of stone
- 10 x 12 area 2 tons at 4" average, 1 ton for outside decorative area.
