Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Oxford, MS

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Oxford, MS, Mississippi Rock Supply covers the materials this part of Lafayette County builds with. That starts with 610 limestone, the crushed stone base sold across Mississippi as compacting base.

Around it you can order washed stone, sand, topsoil, fill and decorative rock. Delivery runs to Oxford and the surrounding county, ordered online and tipped on site.

Materials for Oxford Projects

Grading and bed prep carry a lot of the work here, and that means soil and fill before stone. Clay subsoil sits close under a loamy surface on the ridges, so bare ground needs a workable layer before anything is planted or paved over.

Top Soil builds that layer for lawns and beds, and covers tight clay or ground that has washed out. Garden Soil goes into raised beds and planting areas where the native soil will not drain.

Fill Dirt raises grade and builds up a pad before a base course goes down.

Once grade is set, base and drainage stone take over. 610 Limestone is the compacting base for drives, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base.

Clay Gravel is pit gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack, and it has long been the drive and farm-road material in Mississippi.

For water, #57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing, and Drain Rock fills drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

Ground and Conditions in Oxford

Across the North Central Hills, rain arrives in heavy summer downpours and the ground stays wet through late winter and early spring. Rolling ground with short, steep grades sends runoff into the draws fast.

Under a loamy surface, clay subsoil keeps water sitting in low spots. That is the pattern to plan around, because a base that traps water will not hold up no matter what is on top of it.

Drainage stone is the practical answer. #57 and #67 stone, drain rock and #4 crushed stone all move water away from a footing, a drive edge or a low corner on ground that holds it.

Erosion follows the same water. Rill and gully cutting shows up on cleared slopes, washouts appear at drive crossings, and stream banks scour after a downpour.

RipRap protects banks, culvert outlets and pond edges, and does it on the slopes where water concentrates.

Frost is not the reason a base fails here. Mild winters bring brief shallow freezes, and Mississippi leaves the frost line depth for each jurisdiction to fill in, with a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches in the residential code.

Working time is nearly year-round. Wet late winter and early spring ground is the main hold-up, so grading and fill work is easier when the ground is workable.

Delivery to Oxford and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and tips in one pile at the delivery point. Have that spot clear and reachable by a truck before the load lands, and keep vehicles off it if you want the pile where you put it.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you order.

Oxford sits in Lafayette County, and delivery covers the rest of the county, including Abbeville, Paris and Taylor. For building a pad, prepping beds or armouring a bank, the same ordering process applies.
