Bulk Aggregates for Drainage in Ecru, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ecru, MS. For a compacted base on a drive or a building pad, 610 limestone is the material this market specifies by name.

Ecru sits in Pontotoc County, in the northeast hills where the ground changes fast from one site to the next. That makes drainage work worth planning before the first load lands.

Materials for Ecru Projects

Washed stone is what handles water on this ground. It is clean, it drains freely, and it does not hold the fines that turn a trench into a mud trap.

Start coarse for the heavy drainage work. #4 Crushed Stone is a large clean stone for trench bottoms and construction entrances.

#57 Limestone is the size for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Step down for tighter work. #67 Stone is one size below 57 and suits drainage and concrete work.

#8 Crushed Stone is a fine washed stone for pipe bedding and drywells.

For the finest bedding and joints, #89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone. Drain Rock is the general purpose stone for drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

Where a compacted surface is wanted instead of a drainage layer. Clay Gravel is pit gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack over soft ground.

Delivery to Ecru and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a delivery date at checkout. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to help you size the load.

A dump truck tips the material in one pile at the site. Plan where that pile should sit before the truck arrives, because the driver does not spread or spot the load.

Delivery covers Ecru and the rest of Pontotoc County, including Pontotoc, Thaxton and Randolph. Bulk loads go to driveways, building pads, trench lines and garden beds.

Ground and Conditions in Ecru

Work runs nearly year round in this part of Mississippi. The ground most likely to be too wet to compact is the heavy clay belt that runs through the northeast hills.

Steep, narrow valleys shed water fast. Flat clay ground drains slowly and stays soft long after a rain, so a site on one behaves nothing like a site on the other.

Runoff cuts hill slopes and valley walls, and it scours banks on the feeder streams. Drives that cross a draw wash out where the water concentrates.

That is where washed stone earns its place. A clean open stone moves water away from a foundation or a drive instead of holding it against the soil.

Freezes here are short and shallow. Mississippi leaves the frost line depth blank in the residential code table and sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches, which the building official for each jurisdiction fills in.
