Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Pattison, MS

If you are planning a drive, a patio base, a drainage run or a yard that will not grow, you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Pattison, MS. Mississippi Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it here.

Most base work in this market starts with 610 limestone, the crushed stone course this part of Mississippi knows by that number.

This page leads on soil and fill because grading and bed prep come first, and everything else sits on top of that work.

Materials for Pattison Projects

Start with what goes under the finished surface. Fill dirt raises grade, fills low spots and builds up a pad before any base course goes down.

Top soil gives you a workable layer over tight clay or ground that has washed out, and it is what lawns and beds get built on.

Garden soil is the mix for raised beds and planting areas, and it earns its place where the native ground holds water and will not drain.

Base and drive material

610 limestone is a compacting base for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and patio sub-base. Clay gravel, which yards here also call pit gravel, is pit-run material with enough clay and fines to bind and pack.

It has been the drive and farm-road surface across Mississippi for a long time.

Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Walkway gravel is the finer choice for garden paths and walkways where drive stone is too coarse underfoot.

Washed stone and drainage

#57 limestone is clean, free-draining stone for French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing. #67 stone is one size down and works the same way.

#8 crushed stone, #89 crushed stone and 3/8 inch crushed stone handle tighter work: pipe bedding, paver joints, fine drainage and a thin topping over a compacted base.

Drain rock suits French drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water. RipRap protects banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes.

Sand, decorative and soil

Masonry sand is for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Natural Pea Gravel, river rock and large river rock cover walkways, play areas, decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds, and shredded mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings on slopes.

Ground and Conditions in Pattison

Rain is the driver here. Across the Loess Bluffs and Brown Loam, steep, dissected slopes shed water fast into ravines, and silty loess carries soil down with it.

Getting water off a drive and into a lined channel matters more than how deep the base goes.

The soil in this belt is wind-laid loess, often more than fifty feet thick on the bluff line, weathering down to the brown loam that gives the region its name. It is silty and easy to dig.

It will also stand in a vertical cut and then fail without warning once it is wet, so a slope edge is worth watching through a wet winter.

Gullying is the signature problem of this belt. Bare loess cuts into deep gullies in a single wet season, and slopes slump where the loess sits on clay.

RipRap at a culvert outlet or along a bank is bank armouring, not decoration.

Winters are mild with brief shallow freezes. Repeated wetting and drying, not frost, is what moves the ground here.

Base and paver work runs nearly year round, with wet spells in late winter and early spring the main interruption.
