Materials for Jackson Projects

Decorative work asks for stone that looks right and stays put. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, and it suits walkways, play areas and decorative beds.

Natural Pea Gravel spreads easily and stays walkable.

River rock is bigger and rounder, so it reads as a border or a bed surface rather than a path. River Rock works in decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Large River Rock handles heavier bank and swale work where the stone has to sit still.

For a dry creek bed that has to move water, the bed itself wants clean open stone. #57 Limestone is a washed size for drainage, and Drain Rock covers French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

Ground cover over soil needs something that will not wash. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings and keeps soil in place on slopes through heavy summer rain.

For a driveway or a parking pad, 610 limestone is the compacting base. Size No.

610 Limestone is the local name for it.

Where the ground is soft, clay gravel binds and packs into a graded surface. Clay Gravel is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to hold together on a farm road or a drive.

For a patio or a walkway, stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. Stone Screenings also top a compacted base.

Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface than drive gravel.

Ground and Conditions in Jackson

The soil here is alkaline, calcareous clay over the Yazoo Clay, the state's best known expansive clay. It lifts when it takes up water and pulls down as it dries, and the movement is almost never even across a slab or a drive.

Keeping soil moisture steady is the whole job. Water that gets under a slab or pavement through an open joint, a downspout or a leaking line causes more damage than a wet season does.

Grading water away and keeping it away comes first.

That is why a base under-built for the ground it sits on shows up as movement. Where clay has been cut or loaded, slopes slump, and water perched at the contact between sand and clay starts slides.

Work runs nearly year round here. The clay is at its worst in a wet spell after a long dry summer, when it takes up water fastest.

Mississippi winters are mild by comparison, and the state leaves the frost line depth for each jurisdiction to fill in.
