Bulk Material Delivery in Morton, MS

Where does the water go after it leaves your downspout? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Morton, MS, Mississippi Rock Supply answers that with washed stone, not with more dirt.

610 limestone builds the compacted base, and clean stone handles everything that has to drain.

This is Jackson Prairie ground, alkaline clay that swells when it drinks and shrinks when it dries. Moving water under a slab or a drive is the problem worth solving first.

Materials for Morton Projects

French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need stone with nothing in it that holds water. That means washed material, sized so water passes through instead of perching on top.

Start with the coarse end. #4 Crushed Stone suits trench bottoms and construction entrances where a large clean stone is wanted.

#57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing, and it is specified locally as Size No. 57.

#67 Stone is one size down from 57 for drainage and concrete work. #8 Crushed Stone goes to fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.

For tight bedding and joints, #89 Crushed Stone is the smallest washed stone. Drain Rock covers French drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

Where the job is a surface rather than a drain, 610 Limestone is the compacting base for drives, parking pads and patio sub-base. Clay Gravel is pit gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack over soft ground.

Sand and soil finish the job. Masonry Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints.

Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay once the drainage is right.

Ground and Conditions in Morton

Work here runs nearly year round. Across the Jackson Prairie and the Yazoo Clay belt, the clay is at its worst in a wet spell after a long dry summer, when it takes up water fastest.

That timing matters for a delivery date. A load dropped on saturated clay is harder to work than the same load placed when the ground has some give, so pick your date with that in mind.

Movement in this clay is almost never even across a slab or a drive. Water that gets under pavement through an open joint, a downspout or a leaking line causes more damage than a wet season does.

So grading water away and keeping it away comes first. Clean washed stone in a drain, a drywell or a downspout run gives that water somewhere to go instead of sitting against the clay.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Slopes slump where the clay has been cut or loaded, and edges drop away after water gets underneath.

RipRap and large stone hold those places while the drainage does the real work.
