610 Limestone, Sand and Gravel Delivery in Benton County, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Benton County, MS. Start with 610 limestone when you need a base that packs.

Across the Northeast Hills, Pontotoc Ridge and Flatwoods, water moves fast down steep valleys and sits in the clay belt. That shapes what you put on the ground.

Materials delivered in Benton County

Match the material to the job. A driveway, a patio and a French drain each want something different under them.

610 limestone

610 limestone is the crushed limestone base Mississippi yards sell for compaction. It is also called 610, crushed limestone base or crushed stone base.

Order it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and patio sub-base. It packs down and holds under traffic.

Stone for drainage and concrete

Both drain freely and both work in concrete.

#8 crushed stone suits fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. Drain rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.

Surfaces, sand and soil

Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, not crushed stone. Use it on walkways, play areas and decorative beds.

River Rock and Large River Rock dress beds, borders and dry creek beds. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Garden Soil fills raised beds over heavy clay. Fill Dirt raises grade before a base course goes down.

Ground conditions across Benton County

The Northeast Hills, Pontotoc Ridge and Flatwoods is the most varied ground in the state. Reddish sandy marl sits on the Pontotoc Ridge, with a narrow belt of heavy, poorly drained Flatwoods clay just west of it.

Loamy hill soils run over Cretaceous sands toward the Tombigbee. Old Paleozoic chert and limestone reach the surface in the far northeast corner around Woodall Mountain.

Steep, narrow valleys shed water fast, while the Flatwoods clay belt drains very slowly and stays soft long after a rain. Which of the two a site sits on changes the whole approach.

On the clay belt, an under-built base pumps and rutts. Put 610 limestone down and compact it before anything else goes on top.

On the hills, runoff cuts steep slopes and dissected valley walls. Riprap and large river rock armour banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Washouts show up where drives cross a draw. A clean, free-draining stone layer moves that water instead of holding it.

Work runs nearly year round here. The Flatwoods clay belt is the ground most likely to be too wet to compact in late winter.

Freezes are short and shallow by national standards. Mississippi leaves the frost line depth blank in the residential code table and sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches.

Choosing the right material

Benton County sits in the Northeast Hills, Pontotoc Ridge and Flatwoods. Union County and Tippah County share that same ground region, so the base and drainage choices are the same.

Marshall County sits in The North Central Hills. That ground is sand, silt and clay beds of the older coastal plain, capped with loess on the western side.

Soils there are loamy on the ridges and clayey in the hollows, with ironstone and ferruginous gravel showing up in places. It is a different set of conditions from the marl and Flatwoods clay here.

For a driveway, start with 610 limestone as the compacting base. Top it with driveway gravel if you want a finished surface.

For a patio, 610 limestone goes down first, then stone screenings bed the pavers. For a drain, use clean stone such as #57 limestone or drain rock.
