Materials for Ramer Projects

Start with crusher run. It is the standard Tennessee driveway and base stone: crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a hard, stable surface. It works under driveways, parking pads and barn pads. Buy it as Crusher Run for those jobs.

For paths and walkways, fines and screenings do the heavy lifting. Screenings, also called #10 screenings or stone dust, pack tight and give you a firm, smooth surface. Use them as paver and flagstone bedding, under patio slabs, and as the top layer on garden paths. Order them as Screenings.

Pair screenings with a washed stone base that drains. #57 Stone is the go-to: it moves water, holds up under foot traffic, and tops a compacted base without turning to mush. #67 Stone runs slightly smaller and suits tighter drainage runs and concrete work.

Want a finer walking surface? Walkway Gravel gives paths that tidy, walkable finish. For a looser decorative look, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel beds well around flagstone and pipe.

Ground and Conditions in Ramer

Ramer sits in West Tennessee, on silty wind-blown loess over Coastal Plain sand, clay and gravel. That ground fails a path in a familiar way: a thin base punches through. The screenings rut, the edges crumble, and loose sand shows up where you laid stone.

The fix is depth and compaction. Cut down, put in a compacted base course, then bed your screenings or pavers on top. Skipping that step is why so many paths sink within a season.

Water is the other problem. Wide, flat creek and river bottoms flood and stay wet after heavy rain. Many upland silt soils have a dense subsoil layer that slows water soaking in. So grade your path to shed water and add a drainage layer of #57 stone or Drain Rock where it pools.

Bare slopes wash out fast here. Loess and loose Coastal Plain sand cut gullies and fill ditches with silt. Arm steep ground with rip rap, and seed or cover anything you strip.

Plan around the weather. Winter and spring bring the most rain, so wet silt and flooded bottoms delay grading and base work more often than frozen ground does. Frost stays shallow, and Tennessee's residential code puts footings at least 12 inches below grade.

Delivery to Ramer and the Surrounding Area

Order online. Choose tons or yards. Bulk material sells by weight, but most people think in volume, so know your path length, width and depth before you order. Multiply them out, then convert.

For a path, a compacted base course usually wants a solid layer of stone. Screenings on top add a thin bedding layer. Enter your numbers in the quantity calculator and it does the math for you.

We deliver across McNairy County, including Selmer, Adamsville, Bethel Springs, Michie and Stantonville. Tell us where to drop the load and keep the path clear for the truck.

Questions from Ramer Buyers

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop zone and pick a spot the driver can reach and leave. Mark the edges of your path or pad so the load lands where you want it. Have your base already graded and compacted if the stone is going straight down. Move vehicles and equipment out of the way before the truck pulls in.

What is the best base under pavers in Ramer?

Use crusher run for the base course. It compacts hard and holds under load, which matters on silty loess and loose sand. Then bed the pavers in screenings, also called #10 screenings or stone dust. The fines lock the pavers in place and give you a level, firm setting bed.
