Rip Rap, Stone and Soil Delivery in Falkner, MS

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Falkner, MS, match the stone to the water. Runoff in this part of the state cuts slopes and scours creek banks, and it washes out drives where they cross a draw.

Mississippi Rock Supply delivers 610 limestone, drainage stone, sand and topsoil by the ton to sites in Tippah County. Start with the coarse end and work down to the fines.

Materials for Falkner Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slopes, swales and banks. Riprap armours a bank, a culvert outlet, a pond edge or a failing slope.

It is the largest material available for holding ground against moving water. RipRap goes where the flow is strongest.

Railroad Ballast is heavy coarse stone for hard standing, track beds and severe drainage. Use it where a stable, free-draining surface has to take weight.

#4 Crushed Stone is clean and open for trench bottoms, coarse drainage and construction entrances. #57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing.

One size down, #67 Stone covers drainage and concrete work. #8 Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.

#89 Crushed Stone is small washed stone for tight bedding and joints. 3/8" Crushed Stone gives you fine drainage and a thin topping over a compacted base.

Move to the fines and the base materials. 610 limestone, sold as 610 or crushed limestone base, is the compacting base under drives, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base.

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

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Drain Rock serves French drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints. Masonry Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints, and Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay or washed-out ground.

Ground and Conditions in Falkner

Work runs nearly year round here, and the working season shapes the schedule more than the cold does. Some ground stays soft long after a rain.

On this side of the state the soils vary widely: sandy marl, a belt of heavy clay, loamy hill soils and chert and limestone near the surface in the far northeast corner. That clay belt drains very slowly.

Check the ground before you book a date. A soft, wet pad will not compact, and a load tipped onto it will not help.

Freezes in the coldest corner of the state are short and shallow. Any footing depth belongs to the building official who sets it.

Where a drive crosses a draw, water arrives fast off the steep ground. Stone and drainage come before surfacing on those sites.
