Mount Holly from the mill houses to the new lots
About eleven miles northeast of the yard, and a town where the driveway question comes up more often than the mulch one.
Gravel drives and long approaches
Plenty of property here sits back off the road on a gravel drive, and most of those drives are being topped when they should be repaired. Stone laid over a rutted, soft base disappears into the ruts by the second wet month.
The fix is to grade the ruts flat first, add crusher run in lifts and compact it, and crown the middle so water sheds to the sides instead of running down the wheel tracks. Then a top course does what people wanted from the start.
- Crown the drive so water leaves it sideways
- Crusher run in lifts, not one deep dump
- Fix the ruts before adding a single ton
Bed work in the older streets
The blocks between the river and the rail line have small lots, big trees and foundations that predate anybody worrying about grade. Beds there are usually holding soil against brick or siding, and that is worth pulling back a couple of inches even if nothing else gets touched this year.

What Gaston County says
Every quote below is a real review, word for word, from our Google profile.
I called this morning looking for prices on some mulch and expected to have to wait a few days for delivery. I spoke with Melissa and she helped me figure out how much I needed and quoted a very reasonable price and told me I could get it delivered in half an hour! Mac was soon in my driveway with a truckload of mulch. He drove that truck right up to my flower bed and dumped it right where I needed it.
I'm born and raised here, so I've known about AJ's for probably the last 30 years or more, but have never worked with them until now. They are awesome to work with. When you call them, you don't get a recording. They answer the phones and provide great insight and advice for the project.
This long established business continues to provide quality products for a reasonable price. The second generation is also involved and he delivers quickly, efficiently and never fails to treat customers respectfully.
Always great, the lady on the phone is always pleasant and soooo friendly, she is patient answering questions and helpful, the delivery guy is always friendly, he even dump my gravel in diff spots to make it easier to spread.
AJ will forever be my place and will always be the first place i recommend. I have begged my husband for years to fill an area in my garden with river rock. He was able to do that yesterday with the help of AJ's!
Great family owned and operated business. Honest, insightful and helpful in every aspect.
