Bulk Material Delivery in Alligator, MS

If you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Alligator, MS, the first question is usually which stone to order. Mississippi Rock Supply sells it in bulk by the ton.

For a compacting base, that means 610 limestone, the crushed stone base Mississippi yards sell by that name.

Around Alligator the ground is flat and the subsoil is tight clay that takes water slowly. That shapes what you order more than anything else.

Washed stone that lets water move is what this page leans on.

Materials for Alligator Projects

Water that has nowhere to go is the ordinary problem here, so drainage stone does a lot of the work. A French drain, a drywell or a downspout run all need clean stone with no fines to clog the voids.

Drive a base full of fines into wet clay and it stops draining.

Order washed stone for anything that has to pass water. Sizes run from coarse to fine, and each one suits a different part of the job.

For a drive or a parking pad, start with 610 limestone. Size No.

Clay gravel, the pit-run material, is the older Mississippi choice where you want fines to bind the surface.

Drainage work one size down is where #67 Stone comes in, and #8 Crushed Stone beds pipe and fills joints.

Where the ground stays wet, Drain Rock carries water away from a footing or a low corner. Line the run with clean stone and it keeps working.

Sand, soil and mulch round out a job. Masonry Sand handles brick and block work, Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay, and Shredded Mulch holds beds through heavy summer rain.

Ground and Conditions in Alligator

Work here runs nearly year round. The real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring and heavy rain, not frozen ground.

Time a delivery around that and the truck gets in and out cleanly.

Across the Delta, the subsoil is deep alluvial silt and heavy clay laid down by the rivers, with sand and gravel buried far below rather than at the surface. Backswamp ground is gray to black clay that swells wet and cracks dry.

That movement, not frost, is what breaks a drive here.

The ground is flat with almost no fall, and the clay takes water slowly. Water stands rather than runs off, so a drive wants a built-up, crowned base rather than a deeper one.

Sheet flow across flat fields and floodwater cutting at drive edges and culvert outlets are the erosion to plan for.

Washed stone under a drive edge or at a culvert outlet gives standing water somewhere to go. Rip rap armours a bank or a pond edge where moving water cuts.
