Gravel, Stone and Soil for Lincoln County, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Lincoln County, MS. Work here runs nearly year round, and wet ground after a run of winter rain is the practical limit on when a truck can get in.

610 limestone is the base most of that work starts from, and it is the material to name when you order. Order online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Ground Conditions Across Lincoln County

Across the Southwest Loess Hills and Gravel Country, loess thins eastward over sandy and gravelly Citronelle beds. Soils run from silty on the ridges to sandy and gravel-bearing on the slopes and in the stream bottoms.

Heavy rain on rolling ground with sandy surface soil over tighter clay at depth moves fast on the surface. Then it perches.

A drive wants a crown, a shoulder and a place for the water to go.

Cleared slopes gully and rill, and sand and gravel wash out of drives on grade. Bank scour works the same way on the feeder creeks.

Hard freezes are brief and shallow and do not drive base depth here. 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.

Materials Delivered in Lincoln County

Base, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative material are all ordered the same way, by the ton or by the yard.

610 limestone carries the most weight in base work.

Washed sizes come in at coarse, mid and fine: #67 Stone, #89 Crushed Stone and 3/4" Crushed Stone all drain. Rounded stone does not.

For fill and planting, Fill Dirt raises grade and Garden Soil covers heavy clay where the native soil will not drain.

Delivery Across Lincoln County

A bulk order arrives as a dump truck that tips the load in one pile. The driver does not spread it and takes no instruction.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives.

You choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, then pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load first.

Delivery covers Brookhaven, Bogue Chitto and Ruth, along with the rest of the county. Nothing here is picked up at a counter; the material comes to the site.

Choosing the Right Material

Copiah County shares this ground region, so the soil and the water behave much the same there as they do here. The base and drainage choices follow the same logic.

Jefferson County sits on the Loess Bluffs and Brown Loam, where wind-laid loess runs more than fifty feet thick on the bluff line. That ground is silty and easy to dig, and it will stand in a vertical cut and then fail without warning once it is wet.

Lawrence County is different again. Sandy and gravelly Citronelle caps the hill tops over tight Miocene clay and sand, so the surface stays loose and free draining while the ground a few feet down holds water.

That difference changes the order. Silty loess ground wants a base that drains rather than one that holds, and Lawrence County's tight subsoil makes the drainage layer do more of the work.
