Patio: The Saga Ends

After jackhammering, sledgehammering, hauling 6+ tons of concrete, close-quarters stone delivery, tamping, leveing, stone cutting, and more leveling, it's finally finished. Thanks once again to Barry (aka Dad) for all his help - honestly this would have happened in this calendar year without him - and to Jenny, for her moral and logistic support. Now all we need is some patio furniture and we'll be all set. Not sure if I'm that patient though; eventually we may just have a BYOC (bringyourownchair) cookout with what we have now, and worry about a table-and-chairs set, and finished flowerbeds, later. Before and after pics are below.

The patio looks awesome. What type of stone is that?

The stone is 1"-thick thermal-cut flagstone, the particular variety is Pennsylvania Bluestone, which is a type of sandstone.
