Gravel, Stone and Soil for Franklin County, MS
Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Franklin County, MS online by the ton or by the yard. Mississippi Rock Supply delivers bulk loads to Bude, Roxie, Meadville and McCall Creek.
Start with 610 limestone. It is the compacting base Mississippi yards sell for driveways, parking pads and building pads.
Soils here run silty on the ridges and sandy on the slopes, so a base that ties together matters.
Materials Delivered in Franklin County
610 limestone is a crushed limestone base and the state's standard compacting course. Mississippi specifies it as Size No.
Section 304 pays the work as Size Crushed Stone Base or as Granular Material of a stated class and group.
Use 610 Limestone under drives, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base. It binds and packs where the ground under it is soft or uneven.
Clay Gravel, also called pit gravel, is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack. It is a long-standing Mississippi drive and farm-road surface over soft ground.
#57 Limestone is a clean, free-draining coarse aggregate. Size No.
#67 Stone is one size down from 57 for 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. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and top a compacted base.
Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, not crushed stone, for walkways and play areas.
RipRap armours banks, culvert outlets and pond edges. Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay, and Masonry Sand serves brick and block work.
Delivery Across Franklin County
Order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page carries a calculator to size the load before you check out.
Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the load on site as one pile. Deliveries run to Bude, Roxie, Meadville, McCall Creek and the surrounding county roads.
Bulk loads arrive as loose aggregate, so plan where the pile lands before the truck reaches you. Ground that stays wet after winter rain is the practical limit on when a truck can work.
Ground Conditions Across Franklin County
Across the Southwest Loess Hills and Gravel Country, loess thins over sandy and gravelly Citronelle beds. Soils run silty on the ridges and sandy and gravel-bearing on the slopes and in the stream bottoms.
A thin base shows its failure fast on that ground: the surface ruts, the edges break away, and sand and gravel wash out of drives on grade. Heavy rain on rolling ground moves fast on the surface and then perches over tighter clay at depth.
Give a drive a place for water to go and a base that ties together. Gullying and rill cutting on cleared slopes call for slope protection such as riprap at culvert outlets and along banks.
Work runs nearly year round here. Frost is mild, hard freezes are brief and shallow, and base depth is not set by frost.
Mississippi leaves the frost line depth blank in the residential code table and sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches.
Choosing the Right Material
Lincoln County shares this ground region, so the base and drainage choices there follow the same reasoning as Franklin County. Adams County and Jefferson County sit on the Loess Bluffs and Brown Loam.
That ground is wind-laid loess, often more than fifty feet thick on the bluff line, weathering to a silty brown loam. It is easy to dig and it will stand in a vertical cut, then fail without warning once it is wet.
Where the ground is silty loess rather than sandy and gravel-bearing, drainage matters more than compaction. A clean open stone such as #57 or #67 limestone gives water somewhere to go instead of letting it perch.
