Use our Materials

Use our recycled glass sand and gravel for your next project: landscaping, construction, sandblasting, arts….the uses are endless!

Wait—you want me to landscape with what?

We want Chattanoogans to use recycled glass gravel and sand in construction & landscaping. Glass starts out as (mostly) sand. Our glass-based products (and no–they are not sharp!) preserve our resources by reducing our need to extract sand and gravel from local quarries, creek beds, and mines.

Recycled glass in your landscaping makes for a good story… but that’s not the only reason you should use it.

Recycled glass products serve your outdoor projects better than mined sand and other aggregates can. Why?

Better filtration

Using glass gravel and sands improve draining compared to mined materials, protecting your property from flooding, improving groundwater retention, and more

Lasts longer

Because glass doesn’t break down like mined aggregates and is resistant to washing out, your landscaping will last longer

Better for your plants

Recycled glass releases free silica into the soil, an important nutrient your plants need

More reasons to landscape with our recycled glass:

Keep Scenic City scenic: Save local resources and reduce the need for locally mined materials when you use recycled products.
LEED Credits: If you’re a business hoping for LEED certification, earn LEED points by using construction and landscaping materials which improves the sustainability of your projects
Tell the neighbors a good story: Your landscaping will have never looked better–plus, it’ll come with a great story.

We make sure your glass comes back

When you recycle with Overlooked Materials, your glass comes back to the Chattanooga community. We turn it into sand and gravel available to neighbors and businesses for purchase. Interested in ordering glass landscaping and construction material?
