🪨 Our Most Popular Landscape Rock & Stone Varieties and Their Uses

Choosing the right stone for your project is crucial. Here is a look at some of the versatile, high-quality stone products you’ll find at Mountain High Landscape Supply:

1. River Rock (Small, Medium, & Large)

River Rock is incredibly popular in Atlanta landscaping due to its smooth, rounded, and multi-colored nature.

• Uses:
  • Dry Creek Beds & Drainage: The smooth shape is perfect for creating beautiful, effective dry creek beds that manage stormwater runoff and prevent erosion.
  • Ground Cover/Mulch Alternative: Use it in garden beds and around trees as a permanent, non-decomposing ground cover that looks clean and suppresses weeds.
  • Water Features: The natural look makes it an ideal accent stone for ponds and waterfalls.
  • Edging: Great for bordering flowerbeds and walkways.

2. Granite Gravel (#57 Stone & #89 Stone)

Crushed granite gravel is a local, functional, and cost-effective staple in any Metro-Atlanta landscaping or construction project. It’s angular, which helps it lock together for better stability and drainage.

• Uses of #57 Stone (Larger):
  • Drainage: The standard for French drains, behind retaining walls, and any area requiring excellent water flow.
  • Driveways & Base Layer: Provides a solid, stable base for driveways, patios, and walkways.
• Uses of #89 Stone (Smaller):
  • Pathways & Walkways: Its finer size provides a smoother, more comfortable walking surface.
  • Decorative Accents: A clean look for low-maintenance areas, often used to contrast against larger rocks.

3. Flagstone (Tennessee Blue & Brown)

Flagstone refers to flat, sedimentary stone slabs that come in irregular or cut shapes, perfect for creating usable hardscapes. Our Tennessee varieties offer beautiful, earthy colors.

• Uses:
  • Patios & Walkways: The flat surface makes it the top choice for natural, sturdy, and visually appealing outdoor living spaces.
  • Stepping Stones: Irregular pieces can be set into grass or gravel to create a charming garden path.
  • Wall Caps: Used as the finishing, flat top layer on stone walls.

4. Fieldstone (Stack Stone & Boulders)

Fieldstone is a versatile, rough-hewn natural stone that offers a rustic, organic look. It comes in various sizes, from easy-to-stack pieces to massive accent boulders.

• Uses:
  • Retaining Walls: Stackable fieldstone is excellent for building natural-looking, structurally sound dry-stack walls.
  • Landscape Accents: Boulders act as stunning focal points or natural dividers in a yard.
  • Edging & Borders: Smaller fieldstone pieces can be used to define planting beds or property lines.

5. M10 Granite Dust

M10 is a finely crushed granite material, essentially granite sand, that packs down hard to create a highly stable surface.

• Uses:
  • Paver Base: Used as the final leveling layer underneath pavers or flagstone to ensure a smooth, stable surface.
  • Bocce Courts & Pathways: Creates a firm, natural, and low-maintenance ground surface for recreational areas or light-traffic pathways.
