TL;DR
A flagstone joint is the gap between adjacent stones in a flagstone patio or walkway, finished according to the build type: polymeric sand or stone dust on dry-laid work, mortar on slab-set stone, or planted with creeping thyme and similar steppables in garden settings. Joint width follows the stone's irregular edges, commonly half an inch to two inches.
What it means
A flagstone joint is the gap between adjacent stones in a flagstone patio or walkway, finished according to the build type: polymeric sand or stone dust on dry-laid work, mortar on slab-set stone, or planted with creeping thyme and similar steppables in garden settings. Joint width follows the stone's irregular edges, commonly half an inch to two inches. The joints are the maintenance point of the surface — washed-out or cracked filler lets stones rock and edges chip, and is the usual reason flagstone work gets called back.
