Fill and Base Material Delivered in Bassfield, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Bassfield, MS to builders, farmers and homeowners raising grade and building pads. Around here the ground is often loose and free draining at the surface, then tight a few feet down where clay sits.

That mix is why 610 limestone does so much of the work on a Bassfield base. Fill and pad work starts with the sub-base, and the material under your slab or drive decides how it holds up.

Delivery to Bassfield and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.

Pick your delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the load on site. Bassfield sits in Jefferson Davis County, and we also deliver to Prentiss, Carson and Oak Vale.

Bulk loads arrive as one pile, so it helps to know where the pile needs to land before the truck backs in. From there you work the material into the grade yourself or with your crew.

Materials for Bassfield Projects

The lead call for most Bassfield work is fill and sub-base for raising grade and building pads. Fill Dirt builds the pad up to grade before any base course goes down.

610 Limestone then goes over it as the compacting base for drives, parking pads, shed slabs and patio sub-base.

If your ground is soft and you want a surface that packs instead, Clay Gravel is the pit-run material with enough clay and fines to bind and hold.

For a driveway, top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel. Gravel has been the ordinary Mississippi drive surface for more than a century, and it works over the same base you would use for a pad.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the clean, free-draining stone for French drains, foundation drains and concrete aggregate. Go one size down with #67 Stone for tighter drainage work and concrete.

For planting over heavy clay, where the native soil will not drain, Garden Soil gives raised beds and planting areas something workable. Top Soil builds a layer over tight or washed-out ground for lawns and beds.

Ground and Conditions in Bassfield

Across the Piney Woods and Southern Pine Hills, the hill tops carry sandy and gravelly Citronelle caps over Miocene clay and sand at depth. The surface is often loose and free draining while the ground a few feet down is tight.

Gravel is common in the stream bottoms.

High rainfall, including tropical rain moving inland, soaks through that sandy surface, meets the clay and runs sideways. A drive on a grade loses material off the crown and softens at the toe.

That is a drainage problem before it is a surface problem.

Erosion shows up as sand and gravel washing off drives on grade, gullying on cleared slopes, and bank scour on feeder creeks after heavy rain. Riprap at a culvert outlet or along a bank holds where loose material will not.

Working conditions are mild. Nearly year-round work is normal, and the heaviest rainfall and tropical systems late in summer are the interruption rather than the cold.

Freezes are brief and shallow, so frost heave is not the reasoning driver in Mississippi. Shrink-swell clay, standing water and drainage are.

On an under-built base, that tight layer at depth is what fails first. It costs less to build the sub-base right than to keep adding surface material over ground that moves.
