Class 7 Base Delivery for Arkadelphia, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Arkadelphia, AR. The base material here goes by its local name, SB-2 base, and it is what a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad is built on.

Arkadelphia sits in Clark County on the West Gulf Coastal Plain, where sandy ground over dense clay decides how a pad has to be built.

Materials for Arkadelphia Projects

Raising grade is the first job on a lot that sits low or holds water. Fill dirt goes down first to build the pad up out of the wet, and a compacted base course goes on top of it.

For that base course, SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas material. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

When a street, sidewalk or parking standard is written out, the same material appears as Class 7 base. Ask for it under whichever name your plan uses.

For a driveway, start with Fill Dirt where the ground is soft, then cap it with SB-2 Base or Driveway Gravel for the surface.

A patio or walkway needs a tighter finish. Screenings, also called crusher fines here, bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them.

Walkway Gravel gives a path a walkable surface.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is a washed stone with no fines, used in French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Arkadelphia

The ground across the West Gulf Coastal Plain is sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel and clay. Heavy dark prairie clay shows up on the chalk and marl belt in this part of the state.

That layering is the whole problem. Water soaks through the sandy topsoil, perches on the dense clay below it, then runs sideways.

Flat ground and slow bayous keep the water table high for days after heavy rain. A pad built straight on that clay will move.

Bare sand also cuts and gullies quickly under Gulf rainfall, and runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets. Fill that raises the pad, plus a base course over it, is what keeps a drive above the wet layer.

Work runs all year here. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.
