Materials for Glen Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most Glen work starts, and 610 limestone is the material that carries it. Size No.

Use 610 Limestone under drives, parking pads, shed floors and patio sub-base. It packs down and holds a grade.

Where a drive crosses soft ground, Clay Gravel is the older Mississippi answer. Pit gravel with enough clay and fines in it binds and packs into a graded surface over ground that will not firm up on its own.

For the surface layer itself, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base or resurfaces a drive already in place.

Washed stone and drainage

Clean stone lets water through instead of holding it. #57 Limestone goes into French drains, foundation drains and concrete work, and Size No.

#67 Stone handles the same drainage and concrete jobs one size down. For pipe bedding, paver joints and fine drainage, #8 Crushed Stone is the smaller clean stone.

Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs where the ground holds water.

Sand, soil and decorative stone

Masonry Sand is the brick, block and paver joint sand, sold locally as mason sand. Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay or washed-out ground, and Garden Soil fills raised beds over heavy native soil.

On the decorative side, Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, used for walkways, play areas and beds. River Rock covers beds, borders and dry creek beds, and RipRap armours banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Glen

Water drives everything here. Across the Northeast Hills, Pontotoc Ridge and Flatwoods, steep narrow valleys shed rain fast while the Flatwoods clay belt drains very slowly and stays soft long after a storm.

Which of those two a site sits on changes the whole approach. Fast-shedding hill ground needs a base that holds its grade; slow, heavy ground needs drainage under the base before anything else.

Runoff cuts the steep slopes and dissected valley walls, scours stream banks, and washes out drives that cross a draw. Clean stone and riprap are the usual answers at those crossings.

Work runs nearly year round in this part of Mississippi. The clay belt is the ground most likely to be too wet to compact in late winter, so timing matters more there than on the hills.

Freezes are short and shallow by national standards. Mississippi leaves the frost line depth blank in the residential code table and sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches.
