Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in Paris, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Paris, MS, and 610 limestone is the base most of that work starts from. Size No.

610 is a crushed stone course gradation, and it is what yards here sell as compacting base.

This part of the state sits on loamy ridges over clayey hollows, so water is the thing that decides how a drive or a pad performs.

Materials for Paris Projects

Water that has nowhere to go is the common problem on Paris ground. Clay subsoil under a loamy surface holds it, and the draws take runoff fast.

Washed stone is what moves that water away.

Drain Rock goes in French drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs. It is clean and open, so water passes through instead of sitting against a footing.

#57 Limestone is the coarser washed size, used for French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing where free drainage matters. #8 Crushed Stone is one size down, for fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.

For tight bedding and joints, #89 Crushed Stone is the smallest washed stone here. It also works as a thin layer over a compacted base.

Not every load is washed stone. 610 Limestone is the compacting base for drives, parking pads and building pads.

Clay Gravel is pit-run gravel with clay and fines that bind, and it has been the ordinary drive and farm-road surface in Mississippi for a long time.

Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints. Masonry Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints, and Top Soil builds a workable layer for lawns and beds over tight clay.

Delivery to Paris and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page carries a calculator if you want to size the load before you check out.

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on your site in Paris. The truck tips it in one pile, so leave room where you want it dropped.

Paris sits in Lafayette County, and delivery covers Oxford, Abbeville and Taylor as well. Bulk loads go to driveways, building pads, drain trenches and garden beds across the area.

Have the spot clear before the truck arrives. A soft, wet approach is the one thing that can stop a heavy load from getting where you want it.

Ground and Conditions in Paris

Work runs nearly year-round here. Wet late winter and early spring ground is the main hold-up, so timing a delivery around that stretch saves a mess.

The ground across the North Central Hills is loamy on the ridges and clayey in the hollows, with ironstone and ferruginous gravel showing up in places. Clay subsoil under a loamy surface keeps water sitting in low spots.

That is why drainage comes before surfacing on a lot of jobs. A clean washed stone layer under a drive or around a foundation gives the water somewhere to go.

Rolling ground with short, steep grades concentrates runoff in the draws. Cleared slopes cut into rills and gullies, drive crossings wash out, and stream banks scour after summer downpours.

Rip rap armours banks, culvert outlets and pond edges on that ground. On a steep cleared slope, stone at the outlet does more than gravel spread across the surface.

Winters here are mild with brief shallow freezes, and frost is not the reason a base fails. Standing water and shrink-swell clay are what move a drive out of shape.

It depends on what the drive sits on. For a compacting base over soft ground, 610 limestone is the local choice, and clay gravel works where you want a bound, packable surface.

If the problem is water sitting in the drive, start with clean washed stone such as #57 limestone so it can drain, then surface over it.
