Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Magee, MS

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Magee, MS, Mississippi Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and the yard. The ground here tells you what a base needs before anything else.

In this part of the state, sandy and gravelly caps sit over tight clay. Water gets through the sand, hits the clay and moves sideways, so a drive built on 610 limestone holds up far better than one built on the native surface.

Materials for Magee Projects

Water is the job in Simpson County. High rainfall soaks into sandy surface soil, meets clay below and runs sideways, so the work here leans on washed stone that drains freely rather than on fines that hold it.

French drains, drywells and downspout runs all do the same thing: they give that water somewhere to go instead of letting it sit against a foundation or under a drive. The stone you pick decides whether the run keeps working.

• #57 Limestone (57 rock) is a clean, open stone for French drains, foundation drains and concrete aggregate. Water moves through it instead of pooling.
• #8 Crushed Stone (8 stone) is the size down for pipe bedding, tight drainage runs and paver joints.
• #89 Crushed Stone (89 stone) is small washed stone for tight bedding and narrow joints where larger rock will not fit.
• Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.
• RipRap is the coarse stone for bank armouring, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope protection after heavy rain.

Not every job is drainage. For a drive or a parking pad, 610 limestone is the compacting base Mississippi yards sell by that name, and Size No.

610 Limestone binds and packs where a graded surface is wanted.

Where you want a surface that drains rather than packs, Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or a compacted base. Clay Gravel, the pit gravel with enough fines to bind, is the older Mississippi farm-road choice over soft ground.

Ground and Conditions in Magee

Work here runs nearly year round. The interruption is rain rather than cold, with the heaviest rainfall and tropical systems arriving late in summer.

That timing matters for a delivery. Ground that has taken days of rain softens at the toe of a grade and loses material off the crown, so a load dropped on a wet, low spot is harder to work than one dropped on high, firm ground.

The surface soil across the Piney Woods and Southern Pine Hills is often loose and free draining, while the ground a few feet down is tight. Water that soaks in meets that clay and runs sideways.

That is the argument for washed stone on drainage work and for 610 limestone under anything that carries traffic. Sand and gravel also wash off drives on grade, and cleared slopes gully after heavy rain, so RipRap and coarse stone belong at culvert outlets and on exposed banks.

Freezes here are brief and shallow, with no meaningful frost heave. Mississippi leaves the frost line depth blank in the residential code table for each jurisdiction and sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches.
