Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Ridgeland, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Ridgeland, MS, with 610 limestone as the base material this market knows by name. Soil, sand, washed stone and decorative rock come on the same order.

Ridgeland sits in Madison County, on ground where the clay under a lawn or a drive moves with the water in it. What you put on top has to suit that.

Materials for Ridgeland Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Fill dirt raises a low spot or builds up a pad before any base course goes down.

Screened topsoil then gives you a workable layer for lawn and beds over tight clay or washed-out ground.

Where the native soil will not drain, garden soil builds a raised bed or planting area that roots can actually use. Shredded mulch holds moisture in those beds and keeps soil in place on a slope through heavy summer rain.

For the base under a drive, a parking pad, a shed pad or a patio, 610 limestone is the compacting base. Clay gravel, pit gravel with enough fines in it to bind and pack, is the older Mississippi choice for a drive or farm road over soft ground.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone and #67 Stone go into French drains, foundation drains and concrete work, with #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone stepping down to pipe bedding and paver joints.

Sand and decorative rock round out an order. Masonry Sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints, while River Rock and Natural Pea Gravel cover beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Ridgeland

Across the Jackson Prairie and the Yazoo Clay belt, the soil is an alkaline, calcareous clay over Yazoo Clay. That clay lifts when it takes up water and pulls down as it dries.

The movement is almost never even across a slab or a drive, so one corner drops while another stays put. Keeping soil moisture steady is the whole job, and grading water away is the first move.

Water that gets under a slab or pavement through an open joint, a downspout or a leaking line does more damage than a wet season does. A clean, free-draining stone layer under a wet area gives that water somewhere to go.

Slumping and slope failure show up where the clay has been cut or loaded, and where sand and silt sit on top of the clay and water perches at the contact. Work runs nearly year round here, and the clay is at its worst in a wet spell after a long dry summer.

Winter is mild. Nothing that happens in a Mississippi winter compares with what the clay does between a wet spring and a dry August, so timing a grading job around the clay matters more than timing it around cold.
