Rip Rap, Stone and Soil Delivery in Gulfport, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Gulfport, MS. Size the load with the calculator first, then pick your material.

For a base under a drive or pad, that material is 610 limestone.

The ground here is nearly level and the water table sits close to the surface. That shapes what you order more than anything else.

Materials for Gulfport Projects

Flat ground and a high water table push water sideways, not down. Coarse stone is how you move it where you want it and hold the banks that keep giving way.

RipRap is the heavy end of that work. It armours bank edges, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes taking wave action or storm water.

Above that size, #4 Crushed Stone and Railroad Ballast handle trench bottoms, construction entrances and hard standing where a large clean stone is needed.

For drains and clean water movement. #57 suits French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing.

#67 works one size down for drainage and concrete.

Finer work runs to #8 Crushed Stone, #89 Crushed Stone and 3/8" Crushed Stone for pipe bedding, paver joints and a thin topping. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

Where a drive needs a graded surface that packs over soft ground, Clay Gravel is the long-standing Mississippi answer. Top Soil, Garden Soil and Fill Dirt cover lawns, beds and raising grade.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site. That is the whole of it, so think about where that pile needs to sit before the truck arrives.

Gulfport sits in Harrison County, and delivery covers the city and the surrounding area, including Biloxi, Long Beach, D'Iberville, Pass Christian and Saucier.

Ground and Conditions in Gulfport

Work runs year round here. The seasonal risk is tropical systems and their rainfall in late summer and early autumn, not cold.

Across the Coastal Meadows and Gulf Coast Flatwoods, the terraces are nearly level and the water table is close to the surface over much of the ground. Heavy rain has nowhere to go.

Storm surge and wave action work on the shoreline, tidal scour cuts at marsh edges and bayous, and rain moves sand off flat, poorly drained ground.

That is why a free-draining layer under the work matters so much. Raising and crowning the surface, then putting clean stone underneath, keeps water moving instead of sitting against your base.

Freezing is not a design factor on this ground. The building official sets minimum footing depth, and Mississippi leaves the frost line depth blank in the residential code table for each jurisdiction to fill in.

Order when the forecast is clear enough to have the pile where you want it. After a heavy rain, flat ground stays soft and wet longer than you expect.

Questions About Stone and Drainage in Gulfport

What stone should I use for drainage in Gulfport?

For French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, #57 Limestone is the size to reach for, with #67 Stone one size down for tighter work.

For fine drainage and pipe bedding, #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone fit where a smaller stone is needed.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear path for the truck and a decided spot for the pile. The driver tips the load in one pile and does not place, spread or move it, so pick a spot you can work from.

On ground that holds water, that spot matters more than usual. Have your order details ready if anyone needs to confirm the drop.
