Bulk Material Delivery in Hernando, MS

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Hernando, MS? Mississippi Rock Supply sells bulk stone, sand and soil by the ton, and 610 limestone is the base most of this ground asks for.

The loess soil here is silty and easy to dig, which means it moves fast once water gets into it.

That is why drainage stone matters as much as base stone on a Hernando job.

Materials for Hernando Projects

Washed stone is what keeps water moving on this ground. French drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean, open stone that water passes through instead of sitting on top.

Here is what to order, from the coarsest stone down to the finest.

Coarse washed stone

#4 Crushed Stone is a large clean stone for trench bottoms, coarse drainage runs and construction entrances. When you need a drywell that will not clog, this is the size that sits at the bottom of it.

Drain Rock covers French drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water. On the silty loess around here, that is the whole point of the trench.

Mid sizes for drains and drives

#57 Limestone is size No. 57, and it goes into French drains, foundation drains, concrete aggregate and drive surfacing.

It drains freely, so it does not hold water against a foundation wall.

#67 Stone is one size down from 57 and does the same work in tighter spots, including drainage and concrete. #8 Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding, paver joints and concrete aggregate.

Fine washed stone

#89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone for tight bedding and joints. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and top dress a compacted base.

Base and drive material

610 Limestone is the compacting base for driveways, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base. Size No.

Clay Gravel is pit gravel with enough clay and fines to bind over soft ground, and it has surfaced Mississippi farm roads and drives for a long time. Where you want a graded, compacting surface, it is the pit-gravel option rather than crushed stone.

Sand, soil and finish stone

Masonry Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and play sand. Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay or washed-out ground.

Ground and Conditions in Hernando

This part of Mississippi sits on wind-laid loess that weathers down to brown loam. The soil is silty and easy to dig, and it will stand in a vertical cut until it gets wet, then fail without warning.

Steep, dissected slopes shed rain fast into ravines, and the silt goes with it.

Gullying is the signature problem of this belt. Bare loess can cut into deep gullies in a single wet season, and slopes slump where the loess sits on clay.

That is why getting water off a drive and into a lined channel matters more than how deep the base goes. Base and paver work runs nearly year round here, with wet spells in late winter and early spring the main interruption, so timing a delivery around a dry stretch is worth planning.

Winters are mild with brief shallow freezes. Repeated wetting and drying, not frost, is what moves the ground in this region.
