I have to agree with this. In 2016-17 we completely redesigned our landscaping, including having a lot of custom bluestone shipped from Pennsylvania to Oregon. You can make out some of the extent in these photos, including the the stair treads off of the back porch. At least four sources - landscaper, mason, Oregon supplier, and Penn source - all said not to seal the bluestone. We didn't, and 4+ years later it still looks like new.
