Fieldstone is natural, and common throughout temperate zones. They aren’t quarried and are often transported by glaciers. Fieldstones lie on or close to the surface. They’re flat and oval shaped, and while color and size depend on their location, they’re usually composed of granite, sandstone and limestone. Colors tend to be variations of gray, light tan, brown, and red.

They can be stacked into a retaining wall or used to edge flower beds. You can lay them down to create a walkway. Plus, when it comes to landscaping and hardscaping, fieldstone is a “go-to” natural material.

What is the Difference Between Fieldstone and Flagstone?

They’re both natural, but fieldstones lie on top of the ground, while flagstones lie underneath and are quarried in slabs. Also, flagstones tend to be flatter and cut in squares and are often blueish in color. They also have great water absorption properties. Fieldstones have a rougher and less flat surface. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, colors and textures.
