Materials Delivered in Pemiscot County
Base rock is the standard base material for this county. Type 7 is the coarser 1-1/2 inch grade.
Order base rock for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. It compacts into a firm, binding course that holds up on soft, flat ground.
Ground Conditions Across Pemiscot County
This is Bootheel and Southeast Lowlands ground: deep river-laid sand, silt and heavy clay on flat land that was swamp and bottomland forest before it was drained. Crowley's Ridge breaks the flat with low loess hills.
Under-built bases fail here. Clay holds standing water, so a thin base rock course pumps and rutts once the ground saturates. Build the base to carry the load, and add a drainage layer where water collects.
Erosion comes from running water. Ditches and channel banks cut, and rivers scour in high water. Rip rap and large river rock armor those banks. On Crowley's Ridge, loess erodes easily, so slopes need protection too.
Timing matters. Heavy clay stays saturated from winter into spring, so base work goes easiest from late spring through fall. Sandy ground dries out sooner. Winters are the mildest in Missouri, with fewer and shorter freezes than the rest of the state, and frost depth is among the shallowest here. The local building code sets footing depth.

Choosing the Right Material
Dunklin County and New Madrid County sit in the same region and the same ground zone as Pemiscot County. River-laid sand, silt and heavy clay on drained flat land, broken by the low loess hills of Crowley's Ridge. The ground is similar, so the base and drainage choices carry over.
What shifts is the project. A farm lane in Dunklin County wants the same compacted base rock course as one here. A drainage run in New Madrid County calls for the same clean, washed stone with no fines.
Match the material to the job. Base rock for anything that carries weight. Crusher run where you want fines to bind. 1 inch clean or drain rock for water. Rip rap for banks. Screenings and washed sand for bedding and leveling.
