#57 Limestone, Stone and Soil Delivery in Corinth, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Corinth, MS, by the ton. The base material here goes by its local name: 610 limestone.

Corinth sits in Alcorn County, in the northeast corner of the state.

Water is the reason a lot of work here starts with washed stone. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need stone that lets water move instead of holding it.

Washed stone is screened clean of fines. Water passes through the voids, so the trench or the drywell fills and empties rather than turning into a mud pocket.

Size decides where each one fits. The list runs coarse to fine, with what each size is for.

• #4 Crushed Stone is the coarsest of the washed sizes. Use it in trench bottoms, coarse drainage and construction entrances.
• #57 Limestone is the standard French drain and foundation drain stone. It also works as concrete aggregate and as drive surfacing where clean, free-draining stone is wanted.
• #67 Stone is one size down from 57. Drainage and concrete work both take it.
• #8 Crushed Stone suits fine drainage, pipe bedding, paver joints and concrete aggregate.
• #89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone for tight bedding and joints.

For base work, 610 limestone is the compacting course under drives, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base. 610 Limestone binds and packs when it is placed and worked.

Clay Gravel is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines in it to bind. It has been the ordinary Mississippi drive and farm-road surface where a graded, compacting layer is wanted over soft ground.

Sand and soil finish the job. Masonry Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints, and Top Soil builds a workable layer for lawns and beds over tight ground.

Delivery to Corinth and the Surrounding Area

Order online and the load comes to the site. Coverage runs across Corinth and the rest of Alcorn County, including Glen and Rienzi.

Choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size a load before you check out.

Pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the material on site in one pile, so have the spot clear before the truck arrives.

Bulk loads are heavy and the truck needs room to reach the drop point. A clear approach and a firm standing area keep the delivery simple.

Ground and Conditions in Corinth

Work here runs nearly year round. The ground most likely to be too wet to compact in late winter is the heavy clay belt that runs through this part of the state.

Across the Northeast Hills, Pontotoc Ridge and Flatwoods, the ground is the most varied in Mississippi. Reddish sandy marl, heavy clay, loamy hill soils and chert and limestone at the surface all sit within a short drive of each other.

Drainage splits the same way. Steep, narrow valleys shed water fast, while the clay belt drains very slowly and stays soft long after a rain.

Which of the two a site sits on changes the approach. Fast-shedding slopes push runoff, and that runoff cuts hill slopes and valley walls and scours stream banks.

Where a drive crosses a draw, washouts follow the same water. A clean stone drainage layer and a compacting base both earn their place on ground like that.

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