Materials for Hickory Flat Projects

Fill and sub-base come first on a lot of work here, because raising grade and building a pad is how a project starts on uneven ground. Fill dirt builds the pad up to the level you want before any base course goes down.

Once the pad is set, 610 limestone is the compacting base for driveways, parking pads and building pads. Size No.

Clay gravel, also called pit gravel, is a Mississippi drive and farm-road material. It carries enough clay and fines to bind and pack over soft ground where you want a graded surface.

For drainage, #57 limestone is clean, free-draining stone for French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing. #67 stone does the same work one size down, and #8 crushed stone suits fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.

On top of a compacted base, stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. Natural Pea Gravel and river rock handle walkways, play areas and decorative beds.

Ground and Conditions in Hickory Flat

Across the Northeast Hills, Pontotoc Ridge and Flatwoods, the ground is the most varied in the state. Reddish sandy marl soils sit on the Pontotoc Ridge, and a narrow belt of heavy, poorly drained Flatwoods clay runs just west of it.

Toward the Tombigbee the soils turn loamy over Cretaceous sands. In the far northeast corner, old Paleozoic chert and limestone reach the surface.

Which of those a site sits on changes the whole approach. Steep, narrow valleys shed water fast, while the Flatwoods clay belt drains slowly and stays soft long after a rain.

On ground that holds water, an under-built base pumps and loses its shape. That is where fill and a proper compacting base earn their place, and where a drain layer matters as much as the surface.

Runoff cuts steep hill slopes and dissected valley walls, scours banks on the feeder streams, and washes out drives that cross a draw. Rip rap armours banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Work runs nearly year round here. The clay belt is the ground most likely to be too wet to compact in late winter, so timing matters on those sites.

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

Questions About Ordering in Hickory Flat

What is the best base under pavers in Hickory Flat?

Start with 610 limestone as the compacting base, then bed the pavers in stone screenings. On the heavy clay belt, bring the grade up with fill dirt first so the base sits on firm ground.

A clean open stone like #57 limestone drains, but it does not compact into a base, so keep the two jobs separate.
