You order online by the ton or the yard, and a truck tips the load on site.

Ground and Conditions in Mound Bayou

Across the Delta, the ground is deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay. Below that sit sand and gravel, buried tens of feet down rather than at the surface.

Backswamp ground runs gray to black clay that swells wet and cracks dry.

That clay is what fails a thin base. A patio or paver bed laid over a shallow stone layer moves as the ground takes on water and lets it go again, and the surface cracks and shifts with it.

The fix is a built-up base rather than a deeper one. Flat ground with almost no fall and tight clay subsoil means water stands instead of running off, so the bed has to sit above the wet ground and shed water away from the slab.

Work here runs nearly year round. The real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring and heavy rain, not frozen ground.

Shallow freezes are not what breaks a Delta drive; the ground moving as saturated clay dries and wets again is.

Sheet flow across flat fields and floodwater cutting at drive edges and culvert outlets are the erosion you plan around. Rip rap and clean coarse stone handle that where water concentrates.

Materials for Mound Bayou Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a patio lives or fails, so it is worth choosing the stone and sand that go under the surface, not just the surface itself.

Start with 610 Limestone, sold locally as 610 or crushed stone base. Size No.

It builds the pad under a patio slab, a shed or a parking area.

On top of that compacted pad, Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints.

Masonry Sand, also called mason sand, does the same job for brick and block work and paver joints. Mississippi yards sell it as mason sand and white mason sand.

Where a patio edge needs drainage instead of support, #57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation drains and clean free-draining stone. Size No.

#8 Crushed Stone works one step finer for pipe bedding and paver joints.

For the finished surface, Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and decorative beds. Mississippi Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, not crushed stone.

River Rock covers decorative beds and borders, and RipRap armours banks and culvert outlets.
