Order 610 Limestone and Crushed Stone in Lowndes County, MS

If you need gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Lowndes County, MS, Mississippi Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and sends a dump truck to your site. Start with 610 limestone, the crushed stone base most Mississippi yards sell for drives and pads.

This is prairie ground, and it behaves like it. Dark, fine clay soil shrinks and cracks when dry and turns to grease after rain, so base depth and drainage decide how a drive or pad holds up.

Materials delivered in Lowndes County

Materials run from the coarsest clean stone down to sand and soil. Each one suits a different job on prairie clay.

610 limestone carries the weight of the work here.

610 among the crushed stone course gradations, and Section 304 pays for that work as Size Crushed Stone Base.

For drainage, #8 Crushed Stone beds pipe and fills paver joints, and Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out the list. Masonry Sand serves brick and block work and paver joints, and Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay or washed-out ground.

Ground conditions across Lowndes County

Across the Black Prairie, dark fine clay soils formed on Cretaceous chalk and marl. They shrink and crack open when dry, swell when wet, and turn to grease after rain.

Chalk sits close to the surface in places.

That clay takes water very slowly, so water stands, the ground softens, and a thin base disappears into it. Base depth and a separation layer matter more here than they would on sandy ground.

Erosion shows up as slow sheet flow, ruts and clay slumping where a slope is cut. Riprap and larger stone protect cut banks and culvert outlets.

You can work nearly year-round, but prairie clay can stay too wet to compact for weeks after heavy winter rain. Movement on this ground comes from the clay taking up and giving off water, not from frost.

Choosing the right material

Monroe County, Noxubee County and Oktibbeha County all sit on the same Black Prairie ground as Lowndes County: dark clay over chalk and marl that swells, cracks and greases after rain. The ground itself is the same, so the base and drainage choices carry across unchanged.

That means the decision is about the job, not the county line. A compacting base of 610 limestone or clay gravel suits drives and pads, while clean stone such as #57 or #67 handles drainage and concrete work.

On any of this clay, plan for depth in the base and a clean drainage layer beneath or beside it. Water that cannot move is what takes a base apart.
