Snow's Famous

Mulch

Our biggest bulk category — and the one we're best known for. Four mulch lines, all clean, weed-free, and bagged or by the cubic yard. Delivery available across Central Virginia, or pick up at our Avon Street yard.

  • Double-Shredded Hardwood

    Premium aged hardwood, dark brown, knits together to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Our most-requested mulch for shrub beds, foundation plantings, and tree rings.

  • Pine Bark

    Classic reddish-brown pine bark — coarser texture than hardwood, slower to break down, ideal for acid-loving plants and woodland gardens.

  • Dyed Brown

    Bright color-enhanced brown that holds its tone through the season. Popular for newly-installed landscapes and commercial properties where uniform color matters.

  • Dyed Black

    Deep, rich black that makes plants pop and lawn lines look crisp. Color-enhanced, retains the look longer than natural mulches.

Premium Planting Medium

Topsoil & Compost

Premium Shenandoah Valley topsoil amended with aged, composted horse manure — the medium we use ourselves when we're planting estate shrub beds. Loamy, dark, screened, ready to plant in.

  • Snow's Premium Topsoil

    Screened Shenandoah Valley topsoil amended with composted horse manure. The planting medium for shrub beds, vegetable gardens, raised beds, and new-lawn seedings. Ask about by-the-yard pricing for larger projects.

  • Composted Leaf & Bark

    Aged leaf compost and shredded hardwood bark for soil-building, mulching paths, and amending heavy clay. Lighter and fluffier than topsoil — great as a top dressing.

  • Pure Compost

    Composted horse manure, fully broken down. Use as a topdressing for lawns, a soil amendment for vegetable gardens, or worked into new planting beds.

Driveways · Drainage · Pathways

Gravel & Stone Dust

From driveway base to French-drain backfill to a decorative pea-gravel path — we stock the gravel sizes Central Virginia projects actually need, in cubic-yard quantities or by the truckload.

  • Stone Dust (Screenings)

    Fine, packable, the right base under paver patios and walkways. Compacts hard, drains well, and gives flagstone a stable bed.

  • Crusher Run (Grey)

    Mixed sizes from dust to ¾" — the workhorse for driveways, road bases, and heavy-traffic pads. Locks together when compacted.

  • 57's Driveway Gravel

    Clean ¾" stone, washed, no fines — for finished driveway top coat, French drains, and dry wells. Drains freely.

  • Pea Gravel

    Smooth, rounded ⅜" stone — for decorative paths, dog runs, fire-pit aprons, and play areas. Comfortable underfoot.

  • Decorative River Stone

    Smooth, multi-color rounded stone in three sizes (small, medium, large). For dry creek beds, accent borders, and decorative ground cover.

Walls · Steps · Accents

Stone & Boulders

Wall stone, flagstone, steps, and feature boulders — the same materials our design-build crews use on estate projects, available by the pallet or by the piece.

  • Wall Stone

    Sunrise Mountain, Weatherface, Maple Creek, and Pocono Blend in dry-stack or mortared sizes. For garden walls, retaining walls, fire-pit surrounds, and seating walls.

  • Pennsylvania Flagstone

    Natural cleft flagstone in irregular and pattern-cut sizes — for patios, walkways, and stepping stones. Bluestone-grey to warm earth tones.

  • Garden Path Stones

    Weatherface steppers and Belgian block for borders and accents. Hand-pickable from the yard.

  • Shenandoah & Oakridge Boulders

    Feature boulders for entrance accents, focal points, and naturalistic plantings. Range from one-person-can-handle-it to needs-the-skid-steer.

  • Cut & Hand-Cut Steps

    Cast-concrete and natural-stone garden steps for slope transitions, terrace edges, and porch landings.
