Milton

Milton has become one of the safest, most desirable, and unique suburbs of Atlanta.  The unique tie to its rural heritage is evident by the many horse farms scattered throughout the city.  Its city limits are mainly residential so much of our products delivered to Milton are Topdressing, Topsoil, and Arena Sand.  There have been many equestrian enthusiasts with horse arenas that we have consulted with and supplied sand.  We have supplied many types of Arena Sand including many blends of geosynthetic fibers.  Landscapers and homeowners in Milton know that leveling your turf with Topdressing can improve the look and health of your lawn.  For new construction, our Topsoil is one of the best products to place beneath the sod as a perfect rootzone.  Milton is one of the few city’s in its area where you can find a few gravel roads and driveways still today.  The nostalgia and practicality of a gravel driveway is still present.  Driveway maintenance is usually best done with a spreader truck that spreads the gravel upon delivery, and River Sand offers this service to save you time and money.

Even though Milton is known for its quality residential living, there are many business’ that call it home too.  One corporate campus in Milton has multiple Class A buildings that overlook a lake and a bridge over the lake connecting the buildings.  The high-capacity parking lots have 5 separate stormwater detention ponds as well.  The lake offers a beautiful view from many of the offices, and the bridge is a favorite lunchtime break to enjoy a few minutes out of the office.  Over time sediment filled the upper end of the lake.  Vegetation started overgrowing the lake, and there was also a large amount of trash along the shoreline.  River Sand was contracted to clean it all up.  Our process involved a long-reach excavator to dredge the lake and load it on a low ground pressure off-road truck.  The sediment was placed on an empty area to improve the grade and save export costs.  Our team was able to remove a ton of trash (plastic bottles, bags, tires, and other debris) that had come from the runoff from the upstream sources.  The 5 sediment ponds could only be accessed without cars in the parking lot, so River Sand’s team scheduled a Saturday in which all the ponds had to be cleaned.  It was a long day and each pond involved a different approach to dewater and dredge.  This portion of the project is an example of a functional dredging project that needs to be done to keep the stormwater treated, but may not add aesthetically to a property.  The lake portion was the part that did both, restore functionality along with the beautiful look of a lake outside the office.

Milton’s horse farms are one of its most scenic and well-known features. We keep Milton horses performing and feeling great with custom-blended horse arena sand made specifically for horse arenas.
