Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Washington County, MS

If you are pricing gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Washington County, MS, the first question is usually which material goes down. For most drives, pads and parking areas around Greenville, Leland and Hollandale, the answer starts with 610 limestone.

Mississippi Rock Supply sells it by the ton and delivers it to the job.

This is flat Delta ground with heavy clay under it. That shapes what you order far more than the size of the job does.

Ground Conditions Across Washington County

Across the Delta, the ground is deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay laid down by the Mississippi and the Yazoo. Sand and gravel sit tens of feet below the surface rather than at it.

Backswamp ground is gray to black clay. It swells when it is wet and cracks when it is dry, and it takes water slowly.

The land is flat with almost no fall, so water stands instead of running off. A drive here needs a built-up, crowned base rather than a deeper one dug into the clay.

Erosion comes from sheet flow across flat fields, from bank caving on the rivers and bayous, and from floodwater cutting at drive edges and culvert outlets. Rip rap and large river rock are the usual answer at those edges.

Work runs nearly year round in this part of the state. The real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring, and heavy rain.

Freezes are short and shallow. What moves a Delta drive is the clay swelling and shrinking as it wets and dries, not frost heave.

Materials Delivered in Washington County

Order by the job you are doing. A driveway, a patio base and a French drain each call for a different material.

610 limestone carries the most weight in this county.

County roads follow the state aid spec book, which repeats the same Section 703 sizes.

For drainage, #67 Stone and #8 Crushed Stone step down from 57 for tighter work. Stone Screenings bed pavers and fill joints.

Choosing the Right Material

Bolivar, Sunflower and Humphreys counties all sit in the same ground region as Washington County. Deep alluvial silt and heavy clay, with sand and gravel buried well below the surface.

The ground is the same, so the material choice is the same. A compacting base over clay, and clean stone where water has to move.

Match the material to the job. Use 610 Limestone for a drive, a parking pad or a patio sub-base, and Clay Gravel where a long drive crosses soft ground.

Use #57 Limestone or Drain Rock for a French drain, and RipRap at a culvert outlet or a caving bank.

For beds and walkways, Natural Pea Gravel and River Rock are rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels. They are decorative and walkable, not a base.
