Materials for Bald Knob Projects

Decorative rock does the finish work on a Delta yard, and it starts where the ground is bare. Beds, borders and ground cover all sit on the same short list of materials.

Dry Creek Beds and Drainage

A dry creek bed carries water across a flat yard instead of letting it stand. Arkansas River Rock is rounded creek gravel that suits the bed itself.

Use Large River Rock for heavier decorative work and light bank protection. Both are rounded stone, so they move water rather than lock up.

For a buried drain, Drain Rock is the washed stone that lets water through. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size for French drains and foundation drainage.

Beds, Borders and Ground Cover

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, dog runs and small beds. Arkansas yards usually get it in brown or beige, washed out of river deposits.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a Delta summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm. Spread it over beds and tree rings.

Driveways, Patios and Pads

For a driveway, start with SB-2 Base, a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. Cities and engineers write the same material into street and parking standards as Class 7 base.

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

Under pavers and flagstone, Screenings bed the units and fill the joints. Screenings are the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines.

Ground and Conditions in Bald Knob

This part of the state sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground runs to deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. Locals call the sticky stuff buckshot and gumbo.

That clay barely takes water. Rain stands where it falls, and field ditches and bayous drain slowly across the flat ground.

An under-built base fails on that ground because the clay underneath stays soft. SB-2 base works here because the fines let it lock up under a roller and bridge over wet clay.

Work runs all year, but wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint. A loaded truck ruts a drive deeply with no frost involved at all.

Midsummer is the better window for base work. The dry spell shrinks and cracks the clay, and the ground stiffens up underfoot.

Bare cropland silt sheets off in a hard rain, and ditch and bayou banks slough. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks where that happens.
