As the summer heat fades and a crisp coolness settles over Metro Atlanta, many of us think it’s time to put our landscape projects on hold. But at Mountain High Landscape Supply, with our two convenient locations in Marietta and Smyrna, we know the cooler months are actually the perfect time to tackle some of the most rewarding outdoor transformations!
Why now? The less-intense sun and often-damp soil make for ideal working conditions. Plus, getting a head start in the fall and winter means your yard will be ready to show off the moment spring arrives.
Here are some great landscape projects to use our variety of stone with during the cooler months:
Dreaming of a new outdoor living space? Fall and winter are the best times to install a beautiful flagstone patio. The cooler temperatures make the physical labor more comfortable, and the ground is less likely to be rock-hard. Flagstone, available in various colors and sizes at our Marietta and Smyrna yards, creates a natural, inviting space for a fire pit or a cozy seating area.
Tackling a sloped yard can be a challenge, but a dry-stack stone retaining wall is a beautiful and functional solution. This is a perfect project for the cooler months because the ground is more workable for digging the necessary trench. The rustic, natural look of dry-stack stone adds character and value to your property. Choose from our wide selection of wall stone, including fieldstone and river rock, to create a wall that’s both durable and a work of art.
Winter is the time to plan and prepare your garden beds for next year’s blooms. Adding a decorative stone border is a fantastic way to define your planting areas and add a touch of elegance. We offer a variety of river rock, small flagstone pieces, and other decorative stones that are perfect for creating clean, long-lasting edges around your flower beds or pathways.
Who doesn’t love gathering around a crackling fire on a chilly evening? A custom-built stone fire pit can be the heart of your backyard. This is a project that you can enjoy immediately after it’s completed. From large boulders to smaller fire pit kits, our stone yards have a range of options to help you build the perfect place for s’mores and memories.
If your existing gravel driveway or pathway needs a refresh, or you’re looking to install a new one, cooler months are a great time for this project. The ground is often firmer, making it easier to work with. We offer a wide variety of gravel, including different sizes and colors, to help you create a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface for your property.
Don’t let the cooler weather stop you from enhancing your landscape. At Mountain High Landscape Supply, we’re more than just a stone yard—we’re your partners in bringing your outdoor vision to life. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff at both our Marietta and Smyrna locations are ready to help you find the perfect stone and supplies for your next project.
