SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material, a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. On Delta ground, that base is what carries a drive or a pad.

Materials for Almyra Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the work that comes first on a Delta lot. Fill dirt, also called fill, builds that pad up out of the wet before any base course goes on.

Once the pad is up, SB-2 base goes over it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. The fines stay in the mix so it locks up under a roller.

When you are working to a written standard, the same material is specified as Class 7 base, or Class 7 aggregate base course. Crusher run is the finer dense-graded option for drives and pads.

For a patio, screenings (limestone fines) bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. They give a tight walking surface.

A drain is a different order. #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate.

It is clean rock, so water moves through it.

For a driveway surface, Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or a compacted base. Walkway Gravel gives paths and side yards a finer, walkable surface than a drive.

Ground and Conditions in Almyra

Almyra sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, and the ground across this part of the state is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. It is the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for.

That clay barely takes water, and the ground is flat with a high water table. Rain stands where it falls, and field ditches and bayous drain slowly.

An under-built base fails on that ground. Fill raises the pad out of the wet first, then SB-2 base goes on top and compacts.

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.

Frost is shallow across the Delta, and no statewide frost figure is published. Saturated clay, not frost, is the winter problem.

What is the best base under pavers in Almyra?

SB-2 base is the compacted base for a paver patio, and screenings bed the pavers themselves. Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, are the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines.
