How much does it cost to seal a concrete patio
Sealing natural stone is advisable, to protect it against stains and deterioration from rain and sun. The best sealers for this purpose are impregnating sealers. They absorb deep into the stone, last a long time and don't change the appearance of the stone.
Go to a home improvement store and buy a bottle of muriatic acid and follw the directions.
If your concrete padio was installed correctly with the correct amount of class 5 material placed under it the flagstone will be fine up there. I landscape and have a few of these and have never had any reported issues from clients.

Home improvement is on a lot of people’s mind these days. However, money is tight for many, so people are doing more and more home improvement projects themselves. Stores like Home Depot and Lowes have made it easy to get advice and guidance on many home improvement projects. One way of improving the backyard is putting in a decorative pathway or patio. There are many different materials for pathways, but one of the most popular ones is flagstone. Flagstone is a flat rock that is typically made of sandstone. It’s common, however, to find bits of different types of rock such as quartz or calcium in flagstone. Because it can be made up of different types of rock, flagstone can contain many different shades and colors. This makes it very versatile and a good fit for almost any color scheme. There are many different types of flagstone. Below is a description of three different types. Patterned Patterned flagstone is similar in shape, cut and size. However, as the name suggests, it varies in colors. Each piece has different colors in different patterns. When placed together, they form a random pattern for the walkway, patio or retaining wall. This type of flagstone also has more than one color, so that when the stones are placed together, the colors seem to blend and swirl into one another. Chilton Steppers Chilton steppers are a type of flagstone that vary in size and cut, but are of similar color and hue. The variations in size and cut make a pathway or patio have a unique and almost haphazard appearance. However, when placed properly, they seem to fit together perfectly. Chaison Chaison flagstone also varies in cut and size, but it also varies in color. This gives a pathway or patio an almost whimsical appearance. As with the Chilton Steppers, this type of flagstone must be placed carefully to avoid large gaps and dips in a pathway. Installing a pathway or patio in a backyard can be hard work. The payoff, however, is the look these can add to a yard. Flagstone can be a key material for these types of decorative pathways or patios. Flagstone can be found at most local nurseries or home improvement stores.
At the flagstone store, silly.
