Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in West Point, MS

Mississippi Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in West Point, MS for two kinds of buyers: contractors grading pads and homeowners fixing a yard. Both end up asking the same question about prairie clay.

610 limestone is the base this market specifies by name, and it is where most ground work starts.

West Point sits in Clay County, on ground that holds water and moves with it.

Materials for West Point Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here, because the native clay will not drain and will not take a lawn. Soil products carry that work.

Base and stone products carry everything that sits on top of it.

Soil, Fill and Bed Prep

Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a base course goes down. It builds up a pad so the material above it has something to sit on.

Top Soil gives you a workable layer for lawns and beds over tight clay or washed-out ground. Garden Soil goes into raised beds and planting areas where the native soil will not drain.

Base 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 been the ordinary drive and farm-road surface in Mississippi for a long time, and it suits soft ground.

Washed Stone

#57 Limestone and #67 Stone are clean, free-draining sizes for French drains, foundation drains and concrete aggregate. #8 Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.

Sand and Decorative

Masonry Sand beds brick and block work and fills paver joints. Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.

For beds, Natural Pea Gravel and River Rock cover walkways, play areas and borders.

Ground and Conditions in West Point

Across the Black Prairie, rain has nowhere quick to go. The ground is flat to gently undulating and sits on clay that takes water very slowly, so water stands and the clay softens underneath it.

That clay is dark and fine, formed on chalk and marl. It shrinks and cracks open when dry, swells when wet, and turns to grease after rain.

Chalk sits close to the surface in places.

A thin base disappears into ground like that. Depth and a separation layer matter more here than they would on sandy ground, and base thickness is worth thinking about before you order.

Erosion mostly shows as slow sheet flow and rutting rather than gullies. Low-gradient prairie streams slough at the banks, and clay slumps wherever a slope is cut.

Rip rap armours banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

You can work nearly year-round, but prairie clay can stay too wet to compact for weeks after a heavy winter rain. Movement here comes from the clay taking up and giving off water, not from frost.
