Order 610 Limestone and Crushed Stone in Lauderdale County, MS
Mississippi Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Lauderdale County, MS to your driveway, pad or drainage job. If you are building a drive off a county road, setting a shed pad, or running a drain line, the base under it decides how the job holds up.
Start with 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base sold here by that name. Across this part of the state the surface soil is often loose and free draining while the ground a few feet down is tight, so what you put on top has to carry the load.
Materials Delivered in Lauderdale County
Materials fall into base, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative groups. Each one is named the way local buyers ask for it.
Base and road material
It goes under drives, parking pads, shed and building pads and patio sub-base.
Clay Gravel, also called pit gravel, is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack. It has long been a Mississippi drive and farm-road material where a graded, compacting surface is wanted over soft ground.
Washed stone for drainage
#8 Crushed Stone handles pipe bedding and paver joints.
Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water, and RipRap covers bank armouring, culvert outlets and pond edges.
Sand, soil and decorative stone
Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Fill Dirt raises grade and builds up a pad before a base course goes down, and Garden Soil fills raised beds over heavy clay.
Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, not crushed stone, and it works for walkways, play areas and decorative beds. River Rock and Large River Rock handle beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground conditions across Lauderdale County
This county sits in the Piney Woods and Southern Pine Hills. Sandy and gravelly Citronelle caps sit on the hill tops over Miocene clay and sand at depth, so the surface is often loose and free draining while the ground a few feet down is tight.
High rainfall, including tropical rain moving inland, soaks through the sandy surface, meets the clay and runs sideways. That is why drives lose material off the crown and soften at the toe of a grade.
Sand and gravel wash off drives on grade, cleared slopes gully, and banks scour along the Leaf, Chickasawhay and Pearl rivers and their feeder creeks after heavy rain. A drainage layer and slope protection matter here.
Work runs nearly year round. The heaviest rainfall and tropical systems late in summer are the interruption rather than the cold, and freezes are brief and shallow.
Choosing the right material
Neshoba County sits on the North Central Hills, where sand, silt and clay beds of the older coastal plain are capped with loess on the western side. Soils there are loamy on the ridges and clayey in the hollows, and ironstone and ferruginous gravel show up in places.
That is a different ground from the sandy Citronelle caps over tight clay here, so a base choice that works on a loamy ridge is not the same answer on a loose hill top over clay.
Newton County and Jasper County both sit on the Jackson Prairie and the Yazoo Clay belt, over the expansive clay the state is known for. That clay lifts when it takes up water and pulls down as it dries, and the movement is rarely even across a slab or a drive.
Where the ground is expansive, drainage under and around a slab or drive carries more weight in the decision. Here, where the surface drains freely and the clay sits deeper, the base course and how it compacts do more of the work.
