Buy #57 Limestone in Rolling Fork, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Rolling Fork, MS for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives, pads and drainage, and homeowners patching a washed-out lane. Both usually start with 610 limestone, the crushed stone base this market specifies by number.

Rolling Fork sits in Sharkey County, on Delta ground where water stands more often than it runs. That shapes which material goes where, so the sections below weigh the options before they point you at one.

Materials for Rolling Fork Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most Rolling Fork projects begin, and 610 limestone is the local name for that base. Size No.

It binds under a plate and holds a crowned drive on soft ground.

Clay gravel, also called pit gravel, is the other long-standing Mississippi drive material. It is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines in it to pack into a graded surface over soft ground.

Say gravel, not crushed stone, when you mean this one: most of it is chert rather than crushed rock.

Where a drive needs a clean, free-draining surface rather than a compacted one, the washed stone sizes take over. #57 Limestone suits french drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing, and #67 Stone works one size down for drainage and concrete.

For tight bedding and pipe work, #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone are the finer ends of that range.

Sand and soil round out a lot of orders. Masonry sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints, washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and screened topsoil builds a workable layer over tight clay.

Garden soil goes into raised beds where the native ground will not drain.

For decorative work, Natural Pea Gravel and river rock cover beds and borders. Rip rap is the material for bank armouring and culvert outlets, where floodwater cuts at drive edges.

Ground and Conditions in Rolling Fork

Across the Delta the ground is flat, with almost no fall, and the subsoil is tight clay that takes water slowly. Rain sits where it lands instead of running off.

A drive here wants a built-up, crowned base rather than a deeper one dug into the clay.

The soil is deep alluvial silt and silt loam over heavy clay, with sand and gravel buried well below the surface. Backswamp ground is gray to black clay that swells when wet and cracks when dry.

That wet-and-dry movement is what breaks a Delta drive, not frost.

Freezes here are short and shallow, and frost heave is not the problem. The ground moving as saturated clay dries and wets again is the thing to plan around.

Choose base material that compacts and sheds, and time the work outside the saturated weeks of late winter and early spring.

Erosion shows up as sheet flow across flat fields, bank caving on the rivers and bayous, and floodwater cutting at drive edges and culvert outlets. Rip rap and large river rock do the heavy work on banks and swales.
