FAQ's

A bale of pine straw covers about 35 to 45 square feet depending on the depth.

Leaving the old straw down provides a good base and helps contribute to mulching the soil.

We recommend cutting the weeds down and spraying with the chemical of your choice. This should yield good results.

Long Needle Pine Straw — its color is more vibrant, you'll get more coverage per sq ft, and it lasts longer than slash due to the needles not decomposing as quickly.

13.5 bags (2 cubic foot bag).

The dye used in coloring the mulch is not harmful to plants, people, or animals. It's basically a high-grade food coloring.

A standard-sized pickup bed will hold 2–3 cubic yards of mulch. A small pickup will hold 1–2 cubic yards of mulch.

A cubic yard is a three-dimensional cube that measures 3 feet long, 3 feet tall, and 3 feet wide.

Weights for mulch will vary due to moisture content. Typically, mulch products weigh between 400–800 lbs per cubic yard.

Metro Atlanta homeowners love the variety of landscape rock options we offer at Mountain High Landscape Supply! Popular choices include River Rock (smooth, rounded stones perfect for dry creek beds or walkways), Pea Gravel (small pebbles ideal for drainage or filling gaps between pavers), Flagstone (flat stones great for patios or stepping stones), and Boulders (large statement pieces that add a dramatic touch to any landscape).

Our team at Mountain High Landscape Supply can help you calculate the right amount of rock. We'll need to know the dimensions of your project area (length, width, and desired depth) and the type of rock you're using. You can also use our online calculator on the Mountain High Landscape Supplies website for a quick estimate.

Landscape rock offers many advantages: low maintenance (reduces the need for mowing, weeding, and watering), erosion control, weed suppression, aesthetic appeal, and long-lasting durability that can withstand harsh weather conditions.

Consider the project type (different rocks suit different applications), your desired look (colors and textures that complement your home), size and scale of the project, and your budget — landscape rock prices vary.

Popular options include River Rock (smooth, rounded stones for dry creek beds or walkways), Pea Gravel (small pebbles ideal for drainage or pavers), Crushed Granite (angular stone for driveways and pathways), and Decomposed Granite (fine-grained granite that compacts well for paths and patios).

Gravel offers low maintenance (less mowing, weeding, and watering), erosion control, weed suppression, aesthetic appeal, versatility across many applications, and permeability that allows water to drain through and reduce runoff.

Our team can help you calculate the right amount. We'll need the dimensions of your area (length, width, and desired depth) and the gravel type. You can also use our online calculator on the Mountain High Landscape Supplies website for a quick estimate.

Consider the project type (walkways, driveways, drainage), your desired look (colors and textures), the size and scale of the project, and your budget.

Both are types of crushed gravel but differ in size. #57 stone is larger, typically ½–1 inch in diameter. #89 stone is smaller, with pieces ranging from ⅜–½ inch. The choice depends on your project and aesthetic preferences.

Absolutely! Crushed gravel, particularly #57 or #89 stone, is a popular and affordable choice for driveways. It provides a stable surface that handles vehicle traffic and offers good drainage.

Proper installation matters: clear any existing vegetation and level the ground, install landscape edging to contain the gravel, lay landscape fabric to prevent weeds and stop gravel from sinking, spread the gravel evenly to the desired depth, then compact with a plate compactor or hand tamper.

Gravel is relatively low-maintenance. Rake regularly to maintain an even surface and remove debris, replenish gravel as needed when it shifts or gets displaced, and pull any weeds that sprout through.

Both are popular warm-season grasses in Metro Atlanta. TifTuf stands out for its exceptional drought tolerance and finer texture — it requires less water and maintains a beautiful green color during dry periods. Tifway is known for its durability and rapid recovery, making it a good choice for high-traffic areas.

Tall fescue can be a good option for shaded areas in Metro Atlanta. It's a cool-season grass that thrives in cooler months and tolerates some shade. However, it requires more water and maintenance than warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia, especially during hot summers.

Zoysia grasses are known for their dense, lush carpet-like growth. Zeon Zoysia is a newer variety with improved cold tolerance and a finer texture than Emerald Zoysia. Both are excellent low-maintenance choices requiring less mowing and fertilization.

Tifway Bermuda is extremely durable and recovers quickly from wear and tear, making it ideal for heavy foot traffic. Zeon Zoysia is also a good choice due to its dense growth habit.

Zoysia grasses, particularly Zeon and Emerald, are known for their low-maintenance qualities — less mowing, watering, and fertilizing compared to other grasses. TifTuf Bermuda also requires less water than other Bermuda varieties.

While possible, it's generally not recommended. Different grasses have varying growth habits, maintenance needs, and sun/shade tolerances. Mixing them can result in an uneven appearance and make lawn care more challenging. It's best to choose one grass type well-suited to your conditions.

While sod can technically be laid year-round in Georgia, optimal times are Spring (March–May), when warm soil temperatures and increased rainfall promote quick root establishment, and Fall (September–October), when cooler temperatures reduce stress and allow roots to establish before winter dormancy.

Remove existing vegetation (weeds, grass, debris), till the top 4–6 inches of soil to improve drainage and root penetration, amend the soil with topsoil or compost, then level the ground for even sod installation.

Minimize foot traffic for the first 2–3 weeks to allow roots to establish. Light foot traffic may be okay after 10–14 days, but avoid heavy use for at least 3–4 weeks.

Watering: Keep the sod consistently moist for the first few weeks — water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Mowing: Wait until the sod is rooted (about 3–4 weeks) before the first mow; use a sharp blade and cut no more than one-third of the height at a time. Fertilizing: Most sod does not require fertilization within the first 8–12 months.

Topsoil is nutrient-rich soil ideal for planting lawns, gardens, and flower beds — it contains organic matter and provides a healthy environment for plant growth. Fill dirt is used to fill in low spots, level uneven areas, or build up grade — less expensive but fewer nutrients. Sand improves drainage and aeration; different types include play sand for sandboxes and mason sand for construction.

Our experts at Mountain High Landscape Supply can help. Consider the project type (planting, filling, or amending), the plant type and its soil requirements, and whether your soil needs improved drainage.

Yes! We offer screened topsoil (fine-textured, perfect for lawns and gardens), enriched topsoil (with added compost or organic matter for enhanced fertility), and specialty blends we can create for specific applications.

Fill dirt is a cost-effective solution for filling in low areas or leveling uneven terrain, building up slopes and creating berms for landscaping purposes, and backfilling trenches or holes after construction projects.

Our team can help you calculate the right amount — we'll need the dimensions of your project area (length, width, and depth) and the material type. You can also use our online calculator on the Mountain High Landscape Supplies website for a quick estimate.

We offer a wide selection including Concrete Blocks (versatile and affordable, in various colors, shapes, and textures), Segmental Retaining Wall (SRW) Blocks (interlocking blocks offering superior strength and flexibility for curved or straight walls), and Natural Stone Blocks (classic, high-end look with options like granite, limestone, or fieldstone).

Consider wall height and function (taller walls retaining large amounts of soil may need stronger SRW systems), aesthetics (a style that complements your home and landscape), soil conditions (certain blocks suit different soil types), and budget (concrete blocks are generally most affordable; natural stone can be more expensive).

Permit requirements vary by city and wall height. Generally, walls over 4 feet high require a permit. We recommend checking with your local building department to confirm specific regulations.

Proper drainage is essential to prevent water buildup and wall failure. Incorporate gravel backfill behind the wall to allow water to flow freely, weep holes or drainage pipes at the base of the wall, and geotextile fabric between soil and gravel to prevent clogging.

Smaller retaining walls can be DIY projects, but we recommend hiring a qualified contractor for larger or more complex walls — especially those over 4 feet high that require permits. Professionals ensure proper design, engineering, and installation.

Our mixed hardwood firewood typically includes a blend of popular hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple — known for their density and long burn times, making them ideal for fireplaces and wood stoves. The exact mix may vary depending on the season and availability.

A full rack of firewood is our standard unit of measurement, typically containing ½ of a cord of wood. A half rack contains half that amount, or about ¼ of a cord.

Yes, our mixed hardwood firewood is seasoned — meaning it has been dried to reduce moisture content, typically for 6–12 months. Seasoned firewood burns hotter, cleaner, and produces less smoke than green (unseasoned) wood.

The amount depends on how often you use your fireplace or wood stove, the size of the space you're heating, and the severity of Metro Atlanta winters. Our team can help you estimate the right amount based on your needs.
