Stone Screenings for Patios in Cruger, MS

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Cruger, MS runs nearly year round, and the real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring. Mississippi Rock Supply sells bulk material online, from 610 limestone base to the bedding sand and screenings that sit under a patio.

Delta ground is flat, so water stands rather than runs off. That shapes when you schedule a load and what you put under flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in Cruger

Across the Delta, the ground is deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay. Sand and gravel sit buried well below the surface, not at it.

Backswamp ground is gray to black clay that swells when wet and cracks when dry.

That clay subsoil takes water slowly, and the ground has almost no fall. Water sits instead of running off, so a patio or drive needs a built-up, crowned base rather than a deeper one.

A thin base over that clay shows its failure fast. The slab or pavers rock, joints open, and water finds the low spot.

The fix is a base course that carries the load and a clean bedding layer above it.

Work here runs nearly year round. Saturated ground in late winter and early spring, plus heavy rain, is what sets the timing.

Short, shallow freezes are not what breaks a Delta drive. The ground moving as saturated clay dries and wets again is.

Materials for Cruger Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the layer that decides how a patio ages. It has to be fine, even, and free of anything that holds water against the sub-grade.

Stone Screenings are the standard bedding for pavers and flagstone. They also fill joints and top a compacted base.

Screenings are named among the fine materials used for top dressing.

610 Limestone is the compacting base under that bedding. Size No.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base.

Masonry Sand is the other bedding choice, used for brick and block work and paver joints. Washed Sand is a clean sand for bedding, levelling and fill under slabs and pavers.

Where water has to leave the patio edge, #57 Limestone and #67 Stone are the clean, free-draining sizes.

#8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone are one and two sizes down for tight bedding and joints.
