Kristie, We just enlarged our patio and had flagstone installed for the patio & a 5' walkway around the side of the house. Here are a few photos. The first shows the flagstone without the grout. The June 3 photo was made looking down from the back porch; the stones look a bit gray as it was prior to it being washed after the grout was put in. Another is the finished project (we still have some things to finish in the landscaping, photographed yesterday (June 26), but it doesn't really show all of the patio. We have a pretty good slope on our lot with a lot of open space between the patio & woods, and we had to keep some slope for drainage. It still is very "level" in terms of the stone. Our table & chairs, flower pots, etc sit very level on it. You have to expect a few rough spots because it's natural stone. The only thing I can suggest is just make sure your installer understands what you want in terms of the finished job & you reject any stones with a rougher texture than you'd like.
