River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Shelby, MS

If your ground will not dry out, gravel and aggregate delivery in Shelby, MS starts with stone that lets water move. Mississippi Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it across Bolivar County.

Start with 610 limestone for anything that needs to pack hard, then add washed stone where water has to pass through. The Delta ground under Shelby is heavy clay and silt, so drainage decides how a drive holds up.

Materials for Shelby Projects

Washed stone is the answer when water stands instead of running off. In this part of the Delta, tight clay subsoil takes water slowly, so the stone that carries it away matters as much as the surface.

French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean, open stone with no fines to clog the voids. Order a washed size and the water keeps moving instead of backing up into the yard.

Coarse washed stone

#4 Crushed Stone is a large clean stone used in trench bottoms, coarse drainage and construction entrances. It leaves big open voids for water to travel through.

#57 Limestone is the standard washed size for French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing. Size No.

#67 Stone is one size down from 57 and does the same drainage and concrete work in tighter spots.

Fine washed stone and bedding

#8 Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. #89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone for tight bedding and narrow joints.

Drain Rock is the general-purpose washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs on ground that holds water.

Base, surface and decorative stone

610 Limestone is the compacting base for driveways, parking pads and building pads. Size No.

Clay Gravel is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack, a long-standing drive and farm-road surface over soft ground.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. River Rock and Large River Rock build decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Shelby

Work in this part of the Delta runs nearly year round. The real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring and heavy rain, not frozen ground.

Deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay sit under this region, with sand and gravel buried far below the surface rather than at it. Backswamp ground is gray to black clay that swells wet and cracks dry.

Flat ground with almost no fall means water stands rather than runs off. A drive here needs a built-up, crowned base rather than a deeper one, and washed stone at the edges to move water away.

Sheet flow across flat fields cuts at drive edges and culvert outlets, and bank caving shows up along the rivers and bayous. Riprap and large river rock armour those spots where moving water does the damage.

Frost heave is not what breaks a Delta drive. The ground moving as saturated clay dries and wets again is, so build for drainage and let the base do the rest.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Shelby?

610 limestone is the compacting base for a drive here, because it packs hard over soft Delta ground. Top it with driveway gravel for the wearing surface.

Where water stands at the edge, add washed stone such as #57 Limestone in a drain so the base can shed water instead of holding it.
