Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Crosby, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Crosby, MS, with 610 limestone leading the list for drives, pads and parking areas. The same trucks carry soil, sand and decorative stone for yards and beds.

Crosby sits in Wilkinson County, where silty ground sheds rain fast and carries soil with it. That shapes what you order for grading and bed prep as much as for a drive.

Materials for Crosby Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. Fill dirt raises grade and builds up a pad before any base course goes down, and it is the first order on most lot work.

Fill Dirt goes where the ground sits low or washes out.

Topsoil and garden soil finish the job above grade. Screened topsoil rebuilds a workable layer for lawns and beds over tight clay, and garden soil fills raised beds and planting areas where native ground will not drain.

Both are ordered by the ton or by the yard.

For a compacted surface, 610 limestone is the base Mississippi yards sell for drives, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base. Size No.

610 Limestone is the name to order under.

Clay gravel, also called pit gravel, is the older Mississippi drive and farm-road material. It carries enough clay and fines to bind and pack over soft ground.

Order it as Clay Gravel.

Washed stone handles drainage. #57 Limestone suits French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing where clean, free-draining stone is wanted.

#8 Crushed Stone is the finer size for pipe bedding and tight drainage work.

Sand and decorative stone

Masonry Sand is the mason sand and mortar sand used for brick and block work and paver joints. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Natural Pea Gravel, or pea rock, is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, and it works for walkways, play areas and decorative beds. River Rock covers decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Crosby

Across the Loess Bluffs and Brown Loam, rain and storms shed fast down steep, dissected slopes into ravines. Silty loess goes with the water, so getting it off a drive and into a lined channel matters more than how deep the base goes.

The ground is silty and easy to dig. That same ground will stand in a vertical cut and then fail without warning once it is wet.

Gullying is the signature problem here, and bare cuts run deep in a single wet season.

Slopes also slump where the loess sits on clay. Plan for water first, then pick your base and your drainage layer to match.

Base and paver work runs nearly year round. Wet spells in late winter and early spring are the main interruption, so schedule grading and bed prep around them.

Winters are mild with brief shallow freezes. Repeated wetting and drying, not frost, is what moves the ground.

What stone should I use for drainage in Crosby?

Use clean, free-draining stone. #57 Limestone suits French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, and #8 Crushed Stone handles finer drainage and pipe bedding.
