Materials for Meadville Projects

Water is the first problem on any sloped ground in this part of the state. Coarse stone is what holds a bank, lines a swale and keeps a culvert outlet from cutting back into the fill.

Work from the biggest stone down to the bedding and surfacing sizes.

RipRap is the heavy end of the range. Use it on bank armouring, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope protection where moving water is doing real damage.

#4 Crushed Stone and Railroad Ballast handle trench bottoms, construction entrances and hard standing where a large clean stone is wanted.

Below that sit the drainage sizes. #57 Limestone goes into French drains, foundation drains and concrete aggregate.

#8 Crushed Stone covers pipe bedding and finer drainage, and #89 Crushed Stone is the washed stone for tight bedding and joints.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base.

Clay Gravel is the pit gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack, which suits farm roads and drives over soft ground.

Finish work takes finer material. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

Masonry Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints. Top Soil and Garden Soil rebuild a workable layer over tight clay.

Ground and Conditions in Meadville

Work runs nearly year round here. Wet ground after a run of winter rain is the practical limit, so time a delivery around the weather rather than the calendar.

Soils across the Southwest Loess Hills and Gravel Country run silty on the ridges and sandy and gravel-bearing on the slopes and stream bottoms. Water moves fast on the surface and then perches on tighter clay at depth.

That combination cuts rills on cleared slopes and washes sand and gravel out of drives on grade. A drive needs a place for water to go, which usually means a drainage layer of clean stone rather than more fines.

Freezes are brief and shallow and do not drive base depth. In Mississippi the frost line is left blank for each jurisdiction, and the code sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Meadville

What stone should I use for drainage in Meadville?

Match the stone to the water. #57 Limestone suits French drains and foundation drains, and #8 Crushed Stone or #89 Crushed Stone work for pipe bedding and tighter spots.

For a swale, a bank or a culvert outlet, rip rap is the size that holds against moving water. Use a clean, free-draining stone rather than anything with clay and fines in it.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear spot the truck can reach and tip into, and enough room for one pile. Order your quantity by the ton or by the yard when you check out.

Keep vehicles and equipment out of the way. The driver tips the load and leaves, so pick a spot you can work from and let the pile land there.
