Flagstone Deals Ontario Kitchener Waterloo

When looking to get a great deal on flagstone in Kitchener-Waterloo and Ontario, there are many options for you to choose from. It’s important to research not only the initial price, but also the installation cost, the quality of flagstone, and whether or not the flagstone meets your wants and needs. See below for the different local flagstone dealers so you can compare and contrast.
Lowes – Stones & Pavers
Lowe’s is a large chain home improvement store. On their website, they offer a section called “Stones & Pavers,” which lists a wide variety of stones, from patio stone to cobblestone to various flagstone varieties.
The Lowe’s website allows you to shop by price, so you can see which stones fall within your price range. They also offer free shipping on most orders over $49.00, meaning you can save on shipping if you can’t make it to a store to purchase in person.
Home Depot – Pavers & Step Stones
The Home Depot is another chain home improvement store with many landscaping options. Their Pavers & Step Stones category contains less variety than some other home improvement stores, but like all stores, inventory is subject to change.
To get the best deal, you can wait until a sale occurs either online or in person. Like the Lowe’s website, you can also shop with certain filters enabled, such as price range, colour, shape, square feet per piece, and more. They also allow customers to buy online and pick up in person for no extra fee.
Kijiji – Flagstone
A quick search on Kijiji.com for flagstone shows over 300 results in Ontario. Most results show individual suppliers selling flagstone or suppliers who sell flagstone and install it too. Kijiji is often a great place to find hidden deals and work with new or local suppliers you may not have heard of before.
However, it is also important to be careful when purchasing supplies or services from Kijiji. Unlike big box stores or well-known local suppliers, purchasing from an individual can potentially be risky. Kijiji offers tips for avoiding service scams, and it is important to follow these tips to stay safe.
Groupon – Flagstone Deals
Groupon is a great way to find deals on almost everything – from hotels to furniture to clothes and landscaping materials! With Groupon, deals appear as vendors choose. Therefore, there may only be deals on flagstone periodically. However, Groupon deals often provide 40% off or more on most products and services!
If you are looking to save on large quantities of flagstone and you are not in a hurry, it’s a great idea to keep Groupon in mind. Though the first time you look there may not be any current deals, check back every week or so. You may find a great local deal when you least expect it.
RedFlagDeals – Flagstone
Like Groupon, RedFlagDeals may only periodically provide deals on flagstone. Deals are often offered during peak sales times. In Ontario, that means you will most likely find a deal in the spring or summer. Deals are only available for a limited time. For example, one deal on flagstone from August 2017 was only offered for one week before expiring.
RedFlagDeals is a great way to find local sales on cheap flagstone. In order to find a deal, you will have to check in regularly to see if there are any sales. However, their website and app make it easy to customize what you see, and you can add categories you would like to keep an eye on – so when a sale pops up, you won’t miss it.

Trying to find the best deal on flagstone is often easier said than done! Check out the following tips to help you find the best flagstone for your project without going over your budget.
- Compare Prices – The first price you see may seem like the perfect deal until you start comparing prices. Always do a bit of research first to ensure you are paying a fair amount for the product.
- Buy Quality Products – Buying the absolute cheapest flagstone may seem appealing, but in the long run, it may not be the best choice. Buying quality products will ensure you won’t have to spend money down the road for repairs or extra maintenance.
- Wait For Sales – If possible, wait for a great sale before purchasing. If you are not in a rush to buy and install your new flagstone, take your time researching different companies and wait for a sale to appear on sites such as Groupon or at stores such as Home Depot.
- Don’t Settle – Make sure you buy a product that you truly love! If you settle on something you aren’t crazy about, you may end up replacing it sooner than later, which will end up costing you much more in the long run!
