Start with SB-2 base for a drive or a pad. The ground here is heavy Delta clay, so what sits under the stone matters as much as the stone.

Materials for Alicia Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most ground in Lawrence County. That work starts with soil, not stone.

Top Soil is screened topsoil for lawns, grading and bed prep. Screened matters here, because the native ground runs to silt loam and heavy clay.

Garden Soil goes into raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas. It gives roots something looser than the clay underneath.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on. On flat Delta ground, that step decides how the rest of the job behaves.

Once the grade is where you want it, base and stone take over. SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas base: a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Contractors working to a written standard will see the same material written as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course in city and engineer specs. Crusher Run is the finer dense graded option for drives and pads.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is a washed stone with no fines, used in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and as a clean top over a compacted base. 3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds and construction entrances.

Sand and decorative stone round out a site. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools.

Arkansas River Rock, also called river gravel or creek gravel, fills decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Alicia

Alicia sits in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is flat and the water table runs high. Clay here barely takes water, so rain stands where it falls.

Field ditches and bayous drain slowly across the Delta. Backwater can hold water for days after a storm.

That is the reason a fines-bearing base like SB-2 needs a dry, raised pad under it. Fill Dirt lifts the grade first, then the base goes on top of ground that is not holding water.

Where water has to move, washed stone does the work. #57 Limestone and 3/4" Crushed Stone let water through instead of trapping it.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare cropland silt sheets off, ditch and bayou banks slough, and river banks cave.

RipRap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Work runs all year here. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Winters are short and mild, and frost is shallow. Saturated clay, not frost, is what ruts a loaded drive through the winter.
