Buy Fill Dirt in Drew, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Drew, MS, from 610 limestone for a driveway base to topsoil for a lawn that will not take hold. If you are grading a pad or building beds, fill dirt and garden soil do the heavy work.

Drew sits in Sunflower County on Delta ground, where the native soil is tight clay that holds water. That shapes what you put on top of it.

Materials for Drew Projects

Grading and bed prep start with what goes under the finish. Fill dirt raises grade and fills low spots so a pad sits level before anything else goes down.

Screened topsoil builds a workable layer over tight clay or ground that has washed out.

Garden soil is a blended mix for raised beds and planting areas. It gives roots something loose to move through where the native ground will not drain.

Both are ordered by the ton or the yard, and each product page has a calculator.

Base and compacting stone

610 limestone is the local name for the crushed stone base used under drives, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base. Size No.

Clay gravel, also called pit gravel, is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack. It is a long-standing drive and farm-road material where a graded, compacting surface is wanted over soft ground.

See Clay Gravel and 610 Limestone.

Washed stone for drainage

Clean stone lets water through instead of holding it. #57 limestone, #67 stone.

Drain rock and #4 crushed stone handle trench bottoms and drywells where a larger open stone is wanted. For drive surfacing and construction entrances, 3/4 inch crushed stone and 3/8 inch crushed stone work as drainage beds and a thin topping.

Sand, decorative and mulch

Masonry sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, not crushed stone, and it suits walkways and play areas.

River rock and large river rock build decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds and keeps soil in place on slopes through heavy summer rain.

RipRap and railroad ballast cover bank work and hard standing.

Ground and Conditions in Drew

Delta ground is flat with almost no fall, and the subsoil is tight clay that takes water slowly. Rain and backwater flooding behind the levees leave water standing rather than running off.

A drive here needs a built-up, crowned base rather than a deeper one.

The native soil is deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay laid down by the Mississippi and the Yazoo. Sand and gravel sit tens of feet below the surface, not at it.

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

That shrink and swell is what breaks a Delta drive. The ground moves as the clay wets and dries again, so a base that stays put matters more than depth.

Frost heave is not the problem here.

Erosion comes from sheet flow across flat fields and from floodwater cutting at drive edges and culvert outlets. RipRap at a culvert outlet or a pond edge takes that energy before it takes your ground.

Work runs nearly year round. The real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring, and heavy rain.
