Materials for Scottdale Projects

On DeKalb County red clay, a path holds up only when its fines are right. The right screenings lock together, drain, and stay put underfoot. Pick the wrong size and you get loose stone that migrates into the lawn after every storm.

For paver and flagstone bedding, use screenings, also called granite dust or M10. It compacts to a hard, level bed and holds joints tight.

For the surface of a garden path, use walkway gravel. It is sized finer than driveway stone, so it walks smooth instead of rolling under your shoe.

For tight bedding and paver joints, use #89 Crushed Stone. Small, angular, and easy to screed flat.

For a decorative path with softer edges, use 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea stone. Rounded, comfortable to walk on, and good under decks.

Every path still needs a base under it. Compact it first, then set your fines on top.

Ground and Conditions in Scottdale

A thin base shows itself fast here. The path ruts, the pavers rock, and the edges spread after a wet spell. That is red clay at work, not the stone on top.

Piedmont red clay formed from weathered granite and gneiss. Past erosion stripped much topsoil, and hard rock sits close to the surface in places. Clay sheds water quickly off slopes but holds it once saturated, so flat spots stay wet and a base laid on wet clay turns soft under load.

Fix it by digging out, not building up. Excavate to stable ground, then compact graded aggregate base in lifts before any bedding sand or screenings go down. Bare clay also washes away fast on slopes and cut banks, so armor those edges with rip rap or large river rock where runoff concentrates.

Work runs most of the year. Saturated clay after a long wet spell, a winter rain or tropical storm remnants is what stops trucks and base work. Light freezes are common from November into March, and the Georgia residential code sets a 12 inch minimum footing depth.

Delivery to Scottdale and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity. Most bulk material sells by the ton, but some products price by the cubic yard. Know which one you are buying before you compare loads.

Estimate your volume first: length times width times depth, converted to the unit on the product page. Round up slightly for compaction and spillage. Then choose your delivery window and where the truck can drop.

Bulk delivery means a dump truck backing to your pad, driveway or staging area. Clear overhead limbs and parked cars, and mark anything you do not want driven over. We deliver throughout DeKalb County, including Tucker, Decatur, Clarkston, Stone Mountain and Atlanta.
