Flagstone Over Existing Concrete
Before
For this job, we laid flagstone over the existing concrete steps and landing. The concrete had settled over the years, leaving the steps uneven and slanted. However, it was not necessary to pour new concrete. We parged the area to even out the steps and then went over the steps with stone. This made it look like a
brand new entrance-way.

During
This photo was taken upon completion of the stonework, prior to the final washdown. Once the mortar has cured on a job, we come back to perform a wash-down to remove cement film from the stone.
The dusty appearance of the stone in Photo 2 is normal and to be expected
prior to the wash-down. Depending on the weather conditions (temperatures in
particular), we can usually perform the final washdown within 2-10 days.
