In an environment surrounded by mountains, balds, and cliffs, architecture and landscaping organically takes on a natural vernacular.
Thus, Highlands Rock Yard is well suited to supply much-in-demand hardscape materials, including rock, mulch, sand, gravel, dirt, and more, for various residential and commercial projects so that they can achieve Plateau distinction.
Highlands Rock Yard was originally started as a branch of Highlands Lawn and Garden in 2003. David Sims, owner of Highlands Lawn and Garden, is Anna Claire Ramey’s father, and her husband, Travis, began working for Highlands Lawn and Garden in 2003.
While working together, Travis envisioned Highlands Rock Yard – a place to find a wide variety of rocks for the beautification of homes, walls, borders, patios, walkways, and more. Just one year ago, on January 1, 2020, Highlands Rock Yard became its own entity.
Owner Travis manages the business’s day-to-day logistics, while Anna Claire, a nurse at Highlands-Cashiers Hospital, also assists Travis with the business’s accounting and marketing.
To see what Highlands Rock Yard is able to supply for projects, large or small, an inventory album is available. And, on the company’s Facebook site, regular posts feature photography of current projects.
“We feature various types, sizes, colors, and shapes of native and Tennessee stones primarily,” said Travis, “but it really depends on the vision of the rock mason as to which stone is used, its specific details, and how it’s laid.”
Highlands Rock Yard has supplied to Highlands, Cashiers, Scaly Mountain, Sky Valley, Sapphire, Glenville, Tuckaseegee, Rosman, Brevard, Dillard, Mountain City, Clayton, Lake Burton, Franklin, Otto, and more. With spring fast approaching,
Highlands Rock Yard is able to meet outdoor project needs, from gravel to refresh driveways to Daddy Pete’s Lawn & Garden soil for garden beds and boxes to masonry sand and rocks for building borders and walls.
“We thoroughly enjoy being able to see the beautiful material we’ve provided throughout our communities and to know that our rocks are beautifying the area,” said Anna Claire.
