Our flagstone repair and installation services have been trusted by homeowners seeking safe, long-lasting outdoor masonry solutions and dependable craftsmanship.
Flagstone movement typically occurs due to improper base preparation, poor drainage, water infiltration, and aging installation materials. Freeze-thaw cycles cause the base to shift, leading to loose stones, uneven surfaces, and cracking.
Once parging fails, foundation damage progresses more quickly. Early repair helps prevent moisture intrusion, limits deterioration, and reduces the risk of costly structural repairs.
Most homeowners choose targeted flagstone repair when issues are identified early. Resetting and stabilizing affected stones preserves the surface, improves safety, and avoids higher replacement costs.
These before and after examples show how loose, uneven flagstone surfaces are restored through professional resetting, base correction, and proper installation techniques to improve safety, stability, and appearance.
Flagstone commonly becomes loose due to base failure, water infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles, and natural settling. When the underlying base erodes or shifts, stones lose support and begin to move, creating trip hazards and drainage issues.
Yes. Most flagstone issues can be repaired without replacing the entire surface. Individual stones can be lifted, the base corrected, and stones reset securely. Full replacement is typically only needed when widespread structural failure is present.
In many cases, yes. Flagstone repair is more cost-effective, less disruptive, and preserves the original look of the stonework. Repair is ideal when stones are structurally sound but have shifted or settled over time.
When properly repaired with correct base preparation and secure resetting, flagstone repairs can last many years. Addressing drainage and base issues significantly extends the lifespan and prevents recurring movement.
Absolutely. Loose or uneven flagstone allows water to collect and penetrate beneath the surface. Repairing flagstone restores proper slope and drainage, helping prevent water infiltration that can damage bases, foundations, and nearby structures.
Homeowners typically choose repair when issues are caught early, stones are intact, and damage is localized. Early repair prevents trip hazards, limits water damage, and avoids the higher cost of full flagstone replacement.
We assess stone condition, base stability, drainage, and movement patterns.
Affected stones are carefully lifted, and base or drainage issues are corrected.
Stones are reset to proper level and alignment using appropriate materials.
The surface is finished for uniform appearance and long-term durability.

The work done included parging and repair of the foundation as well as brick repointing and other small repairs (e.g. filling various holes from utilities or other). The work took two full days and we are very pleased with the work done. Everything was done with care and professionalism and it was very reassuring to see the pride that they took in their work. Overall price was fair for the work done. Jerri has a lot of experience and knowledge and we trusted his suggestions. We will definitely keep them in mind for future projects.Posted on Thomas HatherlyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DS Masonry and Restoration, thank you for a job well done. you completed working on my front porch September 28, 2025. Since then, your work has proven to be aesthetically and practically sound. Much more important than the compliments I have received from neighbours on the aesthetics, is the fact that I no longer have water seeping through to my basement. I am grateful you suggested the extension of the top concrete slab, as it has proven to keep my basement dry.
