Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Taylorsville, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Taylorsville, MS to your site, from 610 limestone for a compacted base to topsoil for a lawn that will not grow on tight clay. You order online, size the load, and a dump truck tips it where you need it.

Smith County ground is alkaline, calcareous clay over the Yazoo Clay belt, and it moves with the water in it. That shapes what you put down and what you put under it.

Materials for Taylorsville Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here, because the native clay will not drain and will not feed a lawn. Fill dirt raises a low spot or builds up a pad before anything goes on top.

Screened topsoil gives roots a workable layer over clay that has been cut or washed out.

Garden soil goes into raised beds and planting areas where the ground below stays heavy and wet. All three are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page carries a calculator.

Base and Drive Materials

610 limestone is the compacting base for driveways, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base. Size No.

Clay gravel is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack. It has long been the drive and farm-road surface in Mississippi where a graded, compacting layer is wanted over soft ground.

Washed Stone and Drainage

Washed stone is clean and free-draining, so it passes water instead of holding it. Use it in French drains, foundation drains, pipe bedding and drywells, and under concrete.

• #57 Limestone for French drains, foundation drains and concrete aggregate.
• #67 Stone for drainage and concrete work one size down from 57.
• #8 Crushed Stone for fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.
• #89 Crushed Stone for tight bedding and joints.
• Drain Rock for downspout runs and ground that holds water.

Ground and Conditions in Taylorsville

Water is the driver on this ground. Rain that gets under a slab or a drive through an open joint, a downspout or a leaking line does more damage than a wet season does, so grading water away and keeping it away comes first.

Across the Jackson Prairie and the Yazoo Clay belt, the clay lifts when it takes up water and pulls down as it dries. That movement is almost never even across a slab or a drive, which is why a compacted base and a clean drainage layer matter more than thickness alone.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Cut or loaded clay slumps, and water perches where sand and silt sit on top of it, so slope edges and roadway edges can drop away after water gets underneath.

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.

Mississippi winters are mild, and the state sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches in the residential code table.
