When planning a successful landscape or construction project in Metro-Atlanta, the materials you choose for the base are just as important as the finish. At Mountain High Landscape Supply, we provide the foundation for durability and beauty with two crucial aggregates: #57 Stone and M10 Granite Dust.
Available for pickup or bulk delivery from our Marietta and Atlanta/Smyrna landscape supply yards, these versatile stones can transform your outdoor spaces and ensure your projects stand the test of time.
#57 Stone is a high-demand aggregate composed of stones ranging from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in diameter. Its excellent drainage properties and compactibility make it an essential material for structural integrity:
Driveway Base: The most common and critical use. A properly compacted base of #57 stone creates a solid, stable, and well-draining sub-base for asphalt, gravel, or paved driveways across Cobb County.
Drainage Solutions: Use #57 stone in French drains, perimeter drains, or trenches to combat water pooling and erosion. It allows water to flow freely while preventing soil washout, making it perfect for areas with poor drainage.
Reliable Backfill: It’s a key material in construction, filling trenches and excavated areas to provide necessary support and stability around foundations and pipes.
M10 Granite Dust (also known as “Screenings” or “Crushed Granite”) is a finely crushed granite material that is essential for achieving flat, stable, and visually pleasing hardscapes:
Paver Joint Filler: The unsung hero of patios and walkways! When swept into joints between pavers or flagstones, M10 granite dust locks them securely in place, minimizing shifting and helping to inhibit weed growth.
Leveling Base for Pavers: Before laying any patio stones, apply a layer of compacted M10 granite dust. This creates the level and stable setting bed needed to ensure long-term stability and durability for your Atlanta paver patio.
Soil Amendment: In gardening, M10 granite dust can be mixed with heavy clay soil to significantly enhance drainage and introduce trace minerals. This is particularly useful in areas with poor native soil quality.
Surface Stabilization: Applying and compacting M10 granite dust over loose gravel or soil surfaces helps to bind them, creating a more stable and less shifting surface for pathways.
Creating long-lasting and beautiful outdoor spaces in Metro-Atlanta requires the right blend of materials. #57 stone and M10 granite dust offer the perfect mix of function and aesthetics. Whether you’re building a sturdy driveway base, installing an elegant paver path, or enhancing drainage, we have the quality aggregates you need.
Remember: Always ensure proper compaction and drainage considerations when working with these materials!
