Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Terry, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Terry, MS. Work here runs nearly year round, so timing a load is mostly about the weather you are between.

The clay ground in this part of Hinds County is at its worst in a wet spell after a long dry summer, when it takes up water fastest. That is when a base course and a drive surface matter most, and 610 limestone is the material to start from.

Materials for Terry Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most ground work in Terry begins. 610 limestone, also called 610 or crushed limestone base, is a crushed stone course gradation that Mississippi yards sell as compacting base.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base.

Clay gravel, also called pit gravel, is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines in it to bind and pack. It is a long-standing Mississippi drive and farm-road material where a graded, compacting surface is wanted over soft ground.

For the surface itself, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base or resurfaces an existing drive. Walkway Gravel gives garden paths and walkways a finer, walkable surface than drive gravel.

Clean, free-draining stone is a separate family. #57 limestone, also called #57 stone, is a coarse aggregate size used in French drains, foundation drains and concrete.

#67 stone is one size down for the same kind of work, and #8 crushed stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.

Sand and soil round out the list. Masonry Sand is the mason sand and mortar sand used in brick and block work and paver joints.

Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay or washed-out ground for lawns and beds.

Decorative stone has its own jobs. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, not crushed stone, and it suits walkways, play areas and beds.

River rock covers decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Terry

Across the Jackson Prairie and the Yazoo Clay belt, the ground is alkaline, calcareous clay over Yazoo Clay. That clay lifts when it takes up water and pulls down as it dries, and the movement is almost never even across a slab or a drive.

So the first move is water. Rain that gets under a slab or pavement through an open joint, a downspout or a leaking line causes more damage than a wet season does.

Grading water away and keeping it away is the whole job.

That is why a compacting base like 610 limestone earns its place under a drive or a pad. It spreads load over ground that moves, and it holds up better than a surface laid straight on the clay.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Where the clay has been cut or loaded, slopes slump, and roadway edges drop away after water gets underneath.

Winter is mild here. Nothing that happens in a Mississippi winter compares with what the clay does between a wet spring and a dry August, so the season is rarely the reason to wait.
