Our Recent Flagstone Patio Project was a Masterpiece of Craftsmanship and Durability. Here’s why.

When we were tasked with building the Bente Flagstone Patio, we understood the client’s desire for an outdoor living space that was both elegant and enduring. Our client envisioned a patio that could withstand the elements while providing a charming, rustic aesthetic that seamlessly blended with the surrounding landscape. The project required the installation of 600 square feet of irregular flagstone, six custom-designed steps, and a secure hand railing. 

Our team at Atlas General Contractors took on the challenge with enthusiasm, knowing that the final product would not only meet but exceed the client’s expectations.

Perfect Patio Transformation Process: 

Step 1: Planning and Design

Every successful construction project begins with meticulous planning. After discussing the client’s vision, we designed a patio that reflected the natural beauty of flagstone while ensuring it was highly durable. The irregular flagstone mix we selected featured a range of colors, enhancing the natural, rustic feel of the landscape.

We worked closely with the client to understand their preferences and needs, ensuring that every detail was carefully considered, from the choice of stone to the layout. The six steps and hand railing were designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind, providing safe access to the patio while enhancing its overall appeal.

Step 2: The 4-Inch Concrete Base

Our team laid a solid 4-inch concrete foundation beneath the flagstone to ensure the patio would be stable and long-lasting. A proper base is essential for any stone patio, as it prevents shifting and cracking over time. Our skilled contractors took extra care to ensure the concrete was perfectly level and strong enough to support the heavy flagstone slabs.

This foundation work is critical for creating a patio that will remain sturdy for years, even under harsh weather conditions or frequent foot traffic.

Step 3: Installing the Flagstone

Flagstone is renowned for its natural beauty and durability, and the irregular stones we used for this project added an extra layer of charm to the Bente patio. Each stone was carefully placed by our skilled craftsmen to create a smooth, cohesive surface. The variations in color and texture gave the patio a rustic elegance that perfectly complemented the existing landscape.

We made sure that the flagstones fit snugly together, ensuring a seamless look while maintaining proper drainage. The irregular shapes of the flagstones required expert craftsmanship to align the stones properly and achieve the desired natural, yet refined look.

Step 4: The Finishing Touches

Once the patio was laid, we focused on adding the final touches that would bring the space together. The six custom steps and the hand railing were carefully crafted to match the patio’s overall design. The steps provided safe access to the patio, while the hand railing offered both functionality and style, contributing to the overall appeal of the space.

Step 5: Project Completion

One of the standout qualities of Atlas General Contractors is our dedication to delivering projects on time and within budget. Despite the complexity of the Bente Flagstone Patio, we completed the work on schedule, exceeding the client’s expectations in terms of both quality and professionalism. Our team’s dedication to craftsmanship ensured that every aspect of the patio was flawlessly executed, from the sturdy base to the beautiful stonework.
