Pike County, MS Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery

Mississippi Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Pike County, MS to McComb, Magnolia, Summit, Osyka and the surrounding county roads. The base material here is 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base that Mississippi yards sell for compacting work.

This is the Southwest Loess Hills and Gravel Country, where soils run from silty on the ridges to sandy and gravel-bearing on the slopes and in the stream bottoms.

Ground Conditions Across Pike County

Across the Southwest Loess Hills and Gravel Country, a thin base shows itself fast. Heavy rain on rolling ground with sandy surface soil over tighter clay at depth moves fast on the surface and then perches.

The result is rutting, soft spots and stone pushed out of the drive on grade. A base that is too shallow to bridge the soft layer keeps failing no matter how often it is topped up.

The practical answer is a compacting base with fines in it, laid over ground that has a crown, a shoulder and a place for the water to go. Water that cannot leave the drive will find the weakest point in it.

Gullying and rill cutting on cleared slopes are common in this part of the state, along with sand and gravel washing out of drives on grade and bank scour on feeder creeks. Rip rap and large river rock are the materials for that work.

Work runs nearly year round here. Wet ground after a run of winter rain is the practical limit, and freezes are brief and shallow enough that they do not drive base depth.

Materials Delivered in Pike County

610 limestone is the base material for this county. Size No.

County roads follow the same Section 703 sizes through the state aid spec book.

Order 610 limestone for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and patio sub-base. It is the compacting base that carries the load above it.

Clay gravel, sold as pit gravel, is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack. It suits a graded, compacting surface over soft ground on long drives and farm roads.

Clean stone handles the water. #57 limestone and #67 stone go into French drains, foundation drains and concrete, while #8 crushed stone and #89 crushed stone work for pipe bedding, paver joints and tight bedding.

Stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints. Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.

Natural Pea Gravel, river rock and large river rock cover decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and drainage swales. Rip rap and railroad ballast handle bank armouring, culvert outlets and heavy drainage.

Masonry sand and washed sand serve brick and block work, paver joints, bedding and fill. Topsoil, garden soil, fill dirt and shredded mulch finish lawns, raised beds, grade work and planting areas.

Choosing the Right Material

Lincoln County, Walthall County and Amite County all sit in the same Southwest Loess Hills and Gravel Country ground as Pike County. The soils run the same way, from silty ridges to sandy, gravel-bearing slopes and stream bottoms, so the material choices carry across the line.

Start with 610 limestone where a compacting base has to carry a drive or a pad. Where the ground stays wet, switch to clean stone such as #57 limestone or #67 stone so water moves instead of sitting.

On slopes and creek banks, rip rap and large river rock hold the ground that gravel would wash off. For paths and beds, walkway gravel, Natural Pea Gravel and river rock give a finished surface without the fines that pack down.
