Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Covington County, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Covington County, MS. If you are building a driveway, setting a patio base or running drainage, the material you start with decides how the job holds up.

For most base work here that material is 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base Mississippi yards sell by that name. It goes down under drives, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base.

Clay gravel is the other road-building standby, a pit gravel with enough fines to bind and pack.

Materials Delivered in Covington County

It is ordered for driveways, parking pads, building pads and patio sub-base.

Clay gravel is pit-run gravel with clay and fines worked through it. It binds and packs, which suits a graded drive or farm road over soft ground.

It is sold as gravel rather than crushed stone because the material is pit chert.

Washed stone covers drainage and concrete work.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out the list. Masonry Sand is the mason sand used for brick and block work and paver joints.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Top Soil builds a workable layer for lawns and beds over tight clay or washed-out ground. Garden Soil fills raised beds where the native ground will not drain.

Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a base course goes down.

On the decorative side, Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, not crushed stone, and it suits walkways, play areas and beds. River Rock and Large River Rock cover beds, borders and dry creek beds.

RipRap protects banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground Conditions Across Covington County

Across The Piney Woods and Southern Pine Hills, the hill tops carry sandy and gravelly Citronelle caps over Miocene clay and sand at depth. The surface is often loose and free draining while the ground a few feet down is tight.

Gravel is common in the stream bottoms.

Rainfall here is high, and tropical rain moving inland adds to it. Water soaks through the sandy surface, meets the clay, and runs sideways.

That is why drives lose material off the crown and soften at the toe of a grade.

Erosion follows the same pattern: sand and gravel washing off drives on grade, gullying on cleared slopes, and bank scour on feeder creeks after heavy rain. Riprap and clean stone at outlets and slope toes work against that.

Work runs nearly year-round here. The heaviest rainfall and late-summer tropical systems are the interruption, not the cold.

Freezes are brief and shallow, with no meaningful frost heave.

Choosing the Right Material

Covington County sits in The Piney Woods and Southern Pine Hills, and Simpson County and Forrest County share that same ground. The soil and drainage picture there is the same as here, so the base and drainage choices carry over.

Smith County is different. Its ground is alkaline, calcareous clay over the Yazoo Clay, the state's best known expansive clay.

That clay lifts as it takes up water and pulls down as it dries, and the movement is rarely even across a slab or a drive.

On ground like that, a base has to tolerate movement, and drainage has to move water away from the slab rather than let it sit. Here, the tight layer sits deeper under a loose sandy cap, so the water that reaches it runs sideways.
