Delivery to Benoit and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at the address you give.

Benoit sits in Bolivar County, and delivery covers the town and the ground around it. Loads also go out to Cleveland, Rosedale, Shelby, Mound Bayou and Shaw.

Bulk material arrives as a tipped pile, so the spot you choose should be one you can work from with a shovel, a wheelbarrow or your own machine. Nothing gets placed or spread for you.

Materials for Benoit Projects

Decorative rock is where a lot of Delta yards start, because beds, borders and dry creek beds do not need a compacted base under them. Rounded stone reads well against flat ground and holds its place in a bed.

Use River Rock for bed cover, borders and dry creek beds. Natural Pea Gravel is the smaller rounded option for walkways, play areas and decorative beds, and it is chert washed out of the pit gravels rather than crushed stone.

Where a creek bed or swale has to move water, step up to Large River Rock. It is the heavier stone for dry creek beds, drainage swales and bank work, and it stays put better than the smaller rounded sizes.

For paths you walk on daily, Walkway Gravel gives a finer surface than drive gravel. Where you want a clean edge between bed and lawn, Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them.

If the project is a drive, a patio or a drain, the material changes:

Masonry Sand covers brick and block work and paver joints. Over heavy clay, Garden Soil builds raised beds that drain where the native soil will not.

Ground and Conditions in Benoit

Across this part of the Delta the ground is deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay, with sand and gravel buried well below the surface. The clay swells when it is wet and cracks when it dries.

That movement, not frost, is what breaks a drive here. An under-built base loses its shape as the clay under it wets and dries again, so the base has to be built up and crowned rather than pushed deeper into wet ground.

The land is flat with almost no fall, and the tight subsoil takes water slowly. Water stands rather than runs off, which is why drainage matters as much as the surface material.

Work runs nearly year round here. The real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring, and heavy rain.

Sheet flow crosses flat fields in a heavy storm, and floodwater cuts at drive edges and culvert outlets. Bank caving on the rivers and bayous is the other place stone earns its keep, so RipRap goes on banks, pond edges and slope protection.
