Flagstone Coping

[sunofthebeach]

My flagstone is soft and flaky. Over the past 3 years, my flagstone went from flat on top to having pits and holes. It doesn't look bad, just weathered. My flagstone has corners and it is tough on your back if you lean against it.

If I could do it over I would get the regular grey or white brick bull nose coping.

Our flagstone was installed last June, so it's coming up on 1yr. We also have a SWG system. The 'type' of flagstone we have is an "Oklahoma Wister". It is not flaky, but it does tend to generate sand and has really obtained a weathered look to it. There are a few locations that have some pitting, where others have actually worn in a very smooth pattern. Something that our builder/contractor did was to bevel the bottom corner near the water, so there is not a sharp edge to hit your head on.

I have the Arizona flagstone which is both flakey and sandy. If I could do it over I would stay from it.
