Mt. Moriah slabs

A Mt. Moriah slab is a statement piece. The quartzite is dark gray at its base, and across that gray you find rust, brown, white, silver and burgundy. In a large slab, those colors have room to show. One piece can become a bench, a step, a bridge over a dry creek or the centerpiece of an entry.

Six colors in one stone

Mt. Moriah is called multi-colored for good reason. Dark gray leads, silver and white add brightness, and rust, brown and burgundy bring warmth. That range lets it sit well with both cool and warm materials.

Each slab has its own pattern, so it pays to choose in person. Look at both faces and decide which one should show.

What slabs are used for

Slabs are part of the yard's specialty stone, along with bridges, monoliths and stair treads. Common uses include garden benches, broad steps and bridges across a stream or dry creek.

See stone steps for ways slabs and treads are put to work on a slope.

Matching the rest of the Mt. Moriah family

Mt. Moriah also comes as flagstone, ledge stone and accents and chunks. Using a slab with those forms carries one stone through the whole yard.

Slabs are heavy. Tell staff the size you need and how you will move it, and ask about delivery by flatbed and forklift.
