Stone Screenings for Pathways in Paulding, MS

This is shrink-swell clay country. The ground lifts when it takes on water and drops as it dries, so what you put on top has to move with it.

Ground and Conditions in Paulding

Across the Jackson Prairie and the Yazoo Clay belt, the subgrade is alkaline, calcareous clay over expansive Yazoo Clay. It swells when it takes up water and shrinks back as it dries.

That movement is almost never even across a slab or a drive. One corner lifts while another settles, and a thin base course shows the difference first.

A path or drive with too little base cracks, ruts and drops at the edges. The fix is a base that spreads the load and a surface that sheds water instead of holding it.

Water that gets under pavement through an open joint or a downspout does more damage than a wet season does. Grading water away from the edge is the first move, every time.

Work runs nearly year round here. The clay is at its worst in a wet spell after a long dry summer, when it takes up water fastest.

Frost is mild. Nothing a Mississippi winter does compares with what the clay does between a wet spring and a dry August, so plan around moisture, not cold.

Materials for Paulding Projects

Stone screenings are the material for paths and walkways. Screenings are fine crushed stone that beds pavers and flagstone, fills the joints between them, and tops a compacted base with a smooth, walkable surface.

They pack tight underfoot, so a garden path or a patio edge stays firm instead of shifting with every rain. For a walkway that needs a finer finish than drive gravel, they are the right call.

Under the screenings, 610 limestone does the structural work. Size No.

Where a graded surface is wanted over soft ground, clay gravel is the long-standing Mississippi choice. It is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack, and it suits farm roads and drives.

For drainage, #57 limestone is clean, free-draining stone for French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing. #8 crushed stone is a finer washed size for pipe bedding and paver joints.

Natural Pea Gravel and river rock round out the decorative side. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, and it works for walkways, play areas and beds.
