Crushed Limestone or concrete

Postby RNAIL » Mon Sep 24, 2018 7:00 pm

Camp is east of Rolling Fork and south of Holly Bluff. Any recommendations as to where to get such for creating driveway around camp house?? I figure the truck hauling will be way more than the material...what say you???

Welp given your convenient location right next to BFE... I would recommend checking with Vulcan in Vicksburg for 610 limestone and MMC in Vicksburg for crushed concrete. If MMC has crushed concrete it will be cheaper and work great as a base, after you magnet the metal out of it, then you could top dress with 610 for that near Madison curb appeal :lol:

My only comment is that I like to cap drives and parking lots with #57 or similar (3/4" graded stone) without fines. 610 will be dusty and can rut up with heavy rain, but makes a better base.

Generally when we design a gravel lot we will put 4-6" of 610/crusher run, topped with 2-3" of #57. It just dresses out nicer and stays that way longer.

We found a guy out of bentonia that was real reasonable compared to the guys we checked with from Vicksburg( just clay gravel and washed gravel) His number is hanging on the wall at camp so I don’t have it with me but it may be something to look into.

There was a post about crushed concrete not long ago on Craigslist in the Valley Park area. It was very reasonable and included delivery within something like 50 miles.
