Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Leland, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Leland, MS. Work here runs nearly year round, and the real limits are saturated ground in late winter and heavy spring rain.

If your patio or drive is going in over Delta ground, 610 limestone is the base to start with.

Across this part of the state the subsoil is tight clay that takes water slowly, so water stands rather than runs off. That shapes what you order and when you take delivery.

Ground and Conditions in Leland

Under a patio or a paver walk, a thin base is where the trouble starts. The slab or the pavers move, joints open, and the surface rocks underfoot after a wet season.

The ground in this part of the state is deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay. Sand and gravel sit tens of feet below the surface rather than at it, so you build your working layer rather than finding one.

Clay that swells wet and cracks dry is what moves a flat surface. Flat ground with almost no fall means rain leaves slowly, which is why a patio needs a built-up, crowned base rather than a deeper one.

Sheet flow across flat ground also cuts at drive edges and culvert outlets. On soft or washed-out ground, a compacted base and a clean drainage layer do the work.

Materials for Leland Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the layer that decides how a patio sits. Get it right and the surface stays put.

610 Limestone, also called 610 or crushed limestone base, is the compacting base for patios, shed pads, parking pads and driveways. Size No.

Over that base, Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. They also top a compacted base to bring it to level.

Masonry Sand, sold as mason sand, beds brick and block work and sets paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers where clean sand is wanted.

For drainage beside the flatwork, #57 Limestone goes into French drains and foundation drains, and Drain Rock handles drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

Delivery to Leland and the Surrounding Area

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. Choosing between them comes down to how you measured the area, and each product page carries a calculator for sizing the load.

Place the order online, pick your delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on site. The truck leaves it in one pile.

Leland sits in Washington County, and coverage reaches the rest of the county, including Greenville, Hollandale, Glen Allan and Chatham.

Late winter and early spring are when saturated ground slows a build. Ordering ahead of that window keeps a patio on schedule.
