Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Carrollton, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Carrollton, MS for two kinds of buyers: contractors building patios, drives and pads, and homeowners doing the same work on a smaller scale. Both need the same thing underneath, and that is 610 limestone.

Carrollton sits in the Loess Bluffs and Brown Loam belt, where wind-laid silt runs deep and moves once it is wet. A patio here is only as flat as the base under it.

Ground and Conditions in Carrollton

Silty loess is easy to dig and it will stand in a vertical cut. Then it takes on water and fails without warning.

A thin base course is where that shows up first. The stone punches into soft silt, the surface ruts, and the pavers rock.

The fix is a compacted base that spreads the load instead of sinking into it. That is what 610 limestone does, and it is the reason the material carries the name it does in Mississippi yards.

Water is the other half. Slopes in this belt shed rain fast into ravines, and bare loess cuts into deep gullies in a single wet season.

Get water off a patio or a drive and into a lined channel. That matters more than how deep the base goes.

Base and paver work runs nearly year round here. Wet spells in late winter and early spring are the main interruption, so plan the pour and the compaction around them.

Mild winters bring brief shallow freezes. Repeated wetting and drying, not frost, is what moves the ground in this part of the state.

Materials for Carrollton Projects

Bedding is the part of a patio job that decides how it looks in three years. The base course goes down first and gets compacted, then the bedding layer sits on top of it and the pavers go into that.

610 Limestone is the base course. Size No.

It binds under a plate and holds a flat plane.

Stone Screenings are the bedding layer. Fine, angular material beds pavers and flagstone, fills the joints, and tops a compacted base.

Masonry Sand is the other bedding option. Mississippi yards sell it as mason sand, and it works for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.

#89 Crushed Stone is small washed stone for tight bedding and joints. Size No.

Drainage under and around flatwork needs clean stone that lets water through. #57 Limestone is the size for French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing where free-draining stone is wanted.

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

Where a patio meets a slope, RipRap armours banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope protection.

Clay gravel, also called pit gravel, is the other Mississippi answer. It is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack, and it has been the drive and farm-road material in this state for a long time.

Where a graded, compacting surface is wanted over soft ground, Clay Gravel does that work. It is not a drainage stone, so keep it out of a French drain.

For the surface itself, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Walkway Gravel gives garden paths a finer, walkable surface.
