We used both a full range bluestone and a sandstone flag for that patio. The colors really played off each other well.
Each stone was cut to provide the consistent joints. Takes a hell of a lot longer, but so long as you charge enough for it, it's worth it in the long run.
This job was a bit of a nightmare to finish. My foreman lost both his helpers (I had to fire them) during this job, and he'd never done a cut stone patio before. Luckily, he has an amazing capacity for attention to detail and did a fantastic job. I only had to be with him for one full day before I was able to turn him loose with only minimal oversight. He got a big, hefty raise after showing me these chops.
Like I said before, I'm a poly sand convert after this...
