A 1.5\" stone is heavy enough to \"seat\" itself into a sand and gravel base without needing mortar to stay in place. This allows for a more flexible installation that can move slightly with the ground's natural shifts, preventing the cracks often seen in mortared concrete pads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is the difference between \"Flamed\" and \"Natural Cleft\" finishes?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Natural Cleft\" has an uneven, wavy surface where the stone was split. \"Flamed\" (or thermal) is a flat, sawn surface that has been treated with fire to create a uniform, slip-resistant texture.
