Stone Screenings for Patios in Gloster, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Gloster, MS for two kinds of buyers: contractors setting flatwork and patios, and homeowners building a drive or a bed. Both usually start with 610 limestone.

Across the Southwest Loess Hills and Gravel Country, soils run silty on the ridges and sandy on the slopes, so what goes under a paver matters as much as the paver.

This page is built around bedding material, because a patio or a walk settles on what is beneath it.

Ground and Conditions in Gloster

On rolling ground with sandy surface soil over tighter clay at depth, water moves fast on top and then perches. A thin base under a patio shows it first.

The sand washes, the pavers rock, and the joints open along the edge.

The fix is a base that is thick enough and open enough to shed what gets under it. That is why the bedding layer gets chosen before the surface does.

Where the ground is soft or cut low, clay gravel brings clay and fines that bind and pack, which is why it has long been the drive and farm-road material in this part of Mississippi. Where the goal is drainage instead, clean open stone lets water through rather than holding it.

Cleared slopes here also rill and gully, and drives on grade wash out. Work runs nearly year round in this part of the state.

Wet ground after a run of winter rain is the practical limit.

Materials for Gloster Projects

Stone screenings are the usual bedding for pavers and flagstone in Gloster. They are a fine material that beds the unit, fills the joints, and tops a compacted base.

Under the bedding, 610 Limestone is the base. Size No.

Clean stone handles the water. #57 Limestone suits French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing.

#8 Crushed Stone goes to finer drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. #89 Crushed Stone is the small washed stone for tight bedding and joints.

Sand and soil round out a patio job. Masonry Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.

Top Soil rebuilds a workable layer over tight clay or washed-out ground once the flatwork is set.
