#8 Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Bay Springs, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Bay Springs, MS. Water that gets under a slab or a drive does more damage here than a wet season does.

Start with washed stone and 610 limestone. Both move water away from the ground that will not stay still.

Materials for Bay Springs Projects

Standing water is the enemy. Washed stone gives water somewhere to go, and every size below drains clean.

#4 Crushed Stone is the coarse end. Use it in trench bottoms, construction entrances and heavy drainage where a large clean stone is wanted.

#57 Limestone is the standard French drain and foundation drain stone. It also goes into concrete and drive surfacing.

#67 Stone is one size down from 57. Same drainage and concrete work, tighter voids.

#8 Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. #89 Crushed Stone is the small washed stone for tight bedding and joints.

Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

Below the washed sizes, 610 limestone is the compacting base. Size No.

Clay gravel is the pit-run road base, gravel with enough clay and fines in it to bind and pack. Long-standing Mississippi drive and farm-road material over soft ground.

For finishing, Stone Screenings bed pavers and fill joints, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive, and Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay.

Ground and Conditions in Bay Springs

This part of the state sits on the Jackson Prairie and the Yazoo Clay belt. The clay is alkaline and calcareous, and it is the state's best known expansive clay.

It lifts when it takes up water and pulls down as it dries. That movement is almost never even across a slab or a drive.

Keeping soil moisture steady is the whole job. Water that gets under a slab or pavement through an open joint, a downspout or a leaking line causes more damage than a wet season does.

Grade water away and keep it away. A washed stone drainage layer under a drive or around a foundation gives that water a path out.

Slumping and slope failure show up where the clay has been cut or loaded. Slides happen where sand and silt sit on top of the clay and water perches at the contact.

Work runs nearly year round. The clay is at its worst in a wet spell after a long dry summer, when it takes up water fastest.

Frost is mild here. What a Mississippi winter does is small next to what the clay does between a wet spring and a dry August.
