Mt. Moriah Accents & Chunks

Mt. Moriah packs a lot of color into one stone. It is a quartzite with a dark gray base, and through it run rust, brown, white, silver and burgundy hues. As accents and chunks, it gives you that color in solid pieces you can place around a yard. Use them to break up a planting bed, mark a corner or sit beside a path. The staff can help you pull pieces that show the colors you like most.

Six colors in one quartzite

Dark gray sets the tone, and rust, brown, white, silver and burgundy run through it. Some pieces lean warm and some lean cool, so you can steer the look by what you pick.

Look for the silver and burgundy hues when you pick your pieces.

Placing accents and chunks

Set a chunk at the bend of a path, group three in a planting bed, or use one to anchor a corner. See boulder landscaping ideas for placement that looks natural.

Mt. Moriah also comes as flagstone and tumbled flagstone. Using accents with a matching patio ties the whole yard together.

Buying by weight

Stone is sold by weight, so you can hand-pick the pieces you want and pay for what you take. Ask about dolly rental if you need help moving a heavy piece.

The selection changes as stone sells. Call before you visit, and mention it if you want accents and flagstone from matching stock.
