Decorative stone beds need two to three inches of coverage, driveways and pads need four to six inches over a compacted base, and erosion control channels usually call for six inches or more of rip rap. Add ten percent for settling into the silt loam.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Try Our CalculatorMeasure the length and width of the area and choose a depth, remembering that drainage trenches and driveways need far more depth than decorative beds. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Since stone is sold by weight as often as volume, note that a cubic yard runs roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons.
Pick up geotextile fabric and edging to keep your stone separated from McComb's fine silt loam, and pair drainage stone with screened topsoil to regrade the surrounding area so water actually reaches the new channel.
Service area
Always install fabric under stone in McComb. Silt loam is made of fine particles that migrate upward into voids with every saturating rain, and within two seasons an unlined gravel bed becomes a muddy, weedy mess. A woven geotextile costs very little compared to the stone itself and keeps your investment sitting on top where it belongs, cutting future maintenance dramatically.
Size your stone to the water. A gentle drip line only needs pea gravel or number 57, but a channel that carries roof and yard runoff during a McComb thunderstorm will roll small stone right down the slope. Step up to three to six inch rip rap anywhere water moves fast, and set the largest pieces at the outlet where the energy is highest. Undersized stone is the most common failure we see locally.
Give every stone project somewhere to send the water. Armoring a trench without an outlet just moves the problem downhill to your neighbor or back against your foundation. Walk your McComb lot during an actual rain, find where water naturally exits, and grade your swale or drain to daylight at that point. A quarter inch of fall per foot is a good working minimum on our flat terrain.
With 62 inches of annual rainfall, McComb landscapes are constantly managing moving water, and stone is the material that stands up to it when mulch and soil wash away. Crushed gravel, river rock and rip rap hold their position under the intense Gulf downpours that regularly drop two inches in an afternoon, making them the right choice for downspout outfalls, swales, drip lines and drainage ditches. Silt loam is easily eroded once vegetation is gone, so a stone armored channel or a gravel apron protects the ground where runoff concentrates. Stone also solves the mud problem on flat Pike County lots where driveways, parking pads and side yards stay soft for days after a storm. Because it never decomposes in our humid climate, stone is a one time investment in places where organic mulch would need replacing every single year.
