Storm Mountain Slabs at Mid Valley Rock
Storm Mountain Slabs Colors vary. See it in the yard.

A single large slab can do what dozens of small stones cannot. Storm Mountain slabs are a quartzite that is silver in appearance, with gray tones and golden brown veining. Quartzite is dense and hard. Use one as a bench, a big step, a landing at a door or a bridge over a dry creek. Each slab is one of a kind.

Silver quartzite in a big piece

The silver look comes from a light to dark gray base with golden veins. On a slab, those veins run across a large surface and become a real feature.

Slabs vary in size, shape and thickness. Come see them so you can pick the one that fits your space.

Quartzite is generally harder than sandstone.

Uses for a stone slab

Set a slab on two boulders for a garden bench, use it as a wide step or landing, or lay it across a dry creek as a footbridge.

Slabs also make outdoor tabletops. For matching stone, see Storm Mountain flagstone, veneer and boulders.

Moving and setting a slab

Slabs are heavy. Plan access from the street to the spot where the slab will sit, and ask about delivery.

For large pieces, the yard can refer you to a crane placement company. Set slabs on a compacted, level base so they do not rock.
