Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Greenwood, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Greenwood, MS to two kinds of buyers: crews grading pads and drives, and homeowners building up a yard that will not drain. Both run into the same ground here.

610 limestone is the compacting base most of that work starts from. Soil and fill do the rest.

Materials for Greenwood Projects

Grading and bed prep come before any surface goes down, so the soil, fill and sand choices carry the most weight on a Greenwood job. Deep alluvial ground means the native material is often too tight to plant into or build on as it sits.

Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay or ground that has washed out. Spread it where you want grass or beds to take, and it gives roots something to move through.

Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a base course goes down. On flat ground it is how you get a pad up out of the water rather than sitting in it.

Garden Soil suits raised beds and planting areas, especially over heavy clay that will not drain. Pair it with fill when you need both height and something plants can use.

Under the surface work, 610 Limestone is the graded base for drives, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base.

Clay Gravel is pit gravel with enough fines to bind and pack, the long-standing Mississippi drive and farm-road material where a graded surface is wanted over soft ground.

Where water has to move, clean stone does the job. #57 Limestone suits French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing.

Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

For bedding and joints, Masonry Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Ground and Conditions in Greenwood

Start with where the water goes, because across the Delta it mostly does not go anywhere. The ground is flat with almost no fall, and the subsoil is tight clay that takes water slowly.

River and backwater flooding behind the levees adds to it. Water stands rather than runs off, so a drive wants a built-up base that sits above the wet, not a deeper one sunk into it.

The soil is deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay laid down by the Mississippi and the Yazoo. Sand and gravel sit buried tens of feet down, not at the surface where you could use them.

Backswamp ground runs gray to black clay that swells when wet and cracks when dry. That movement, not frost, is what breaks drives here.

Freezes are short and shallow in this part of the state.

Erosion comes from sheet flow across flat fields and from floodwater cutting at drive edges and culvert outlets. Bank caving on the rivers and bayous is the other side of it.

Rip rap and clean stone at those edges hold ground that moving water would otherwise take.

Work runs nearly year round. The real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring, plus heavy rain, so plan grading and base work around when the ground will carry a truck.

Delivery to Greenwood and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and the load is tipped on site in one pile. Have the spot clear and reachable before the truck gets there, and put the pile where the material needs to end up.

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator. Order online, pick a delivery date at checkout, and the truck does the rest.

Greenwood sits in Leflore County, and delivery covers the county, including Itta Bena, Schlater, Sidon and Minter City. For grading a pad in town or topping a farm road out past the city limits, the same materials go out.
