Buy Bulk Gravel, Sand and Soil in Mississippi

Mississippi Rock Supply sells bulk gravel and aggregate delivery across Mississippi. Rain falls heavy on tight clay that sheds water instead of taking it.

Flat ground in the Delta and on the coast has little fall to move it along.

That is why 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base Mississippi yards sell by that name, carries so much of the work here. Order it online and a dump truck tips it on site.

Materials Delivered Across Mississippi

Match the material to the job. A driveway, a patio and a drain each want a different stone.

610 limestone is the base to start from.

610 as a crushed stone course gradation, and Section 304 pays for that work as Size Crushed Stone Base. The state aid spec book that county roads follow repeats the same sizes.

Clay gravel is the storefront name for pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines in it to bind and pack. Say gravel, not crushed stone, because nearly all Mississippi pit gravel is chert rather than crushed rock.

#8 crushed stone and #89 crushed stone run finer, for pipe bedding and tight joints.

Natural Pea Gravel, river rock and large river rock cover decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. Topsoil, garden soil, fill dirt and shredded mulch handle ground that will not drain or will not hold.

Ground and Climate Across Mississippi

Fine clay and silt cover most of the state. Deep loess sits on the bluffs and uplands east of the Delta.

Alluvial silt and clay fill the Delta floor.

Expansive Yazoo Clay runs through the Jackson Prairie belt. Dark shrink-swell chalk clays make up the Black Prairie.

Sandy and gravelly Citronelle ground covers the south, and the only hard rock at the surface is in the far northeast corner.

An under-built base on that ground moves. Clay 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.

Loess will stand in a vertical cut and then fail without warning once it is wet.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Loess and sandy uplands gully, clay slopes slump where they are cut or loaded, streams scour their banks after heavy rain, and storm surge and wave action work the Mississippi Sound shoreline.

Frost is shallow across Mississippi. The residential code leaves the frost line depth blank for each jurisdiction to fill in and sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches.

Base depth here is driven by soil and drainage, not by frost.

Base, drive and paver work runs nearly year round. The limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring, and heavy rain.

Where We Deliver in Mississippi

Mississippi Rock Supply delivers across the state. That covers the Delta, the Gulf Coast, the Pine Belt, the Golden Triangle, Northeast Mississippi, Southwest Mississippi and the Jackson Metro.

Counties served include Hinds County, Harrison County, DeSoto County, Rankin County, Jackson County, Madison County, Lee County, Forrest County, Lauderdale County, Jones County, Lamar County and Lafayette County.

Ground changes as you cross the state, so the material changes with it. Delta backswamp clay wants a base that will not pump.

Loess bluffs want drainage behind a wall or a cut. Coastal flats sit close to the water table.
