Materials for Beech Grove Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first here, and SB-2 base is the term to use. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding. When a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course.

SB-2 Base covers the base course. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on a county-road property.

For the washed side, #57 Limestone is a clean stone for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate. 3/4" Crushed Stone does drainage beds and construction entrances.

Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints, and leave a tight walking surface.

Sand and soil round out a job. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand serves brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

Top Soil is screened for lawns and bed prep. Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on.

For decorative work, Arkansas River Rock fills beds, borders and dry creek beds. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Ground and Conditions in Beech Grove

Beech Grove sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, and the water driver shapes every decision. Ground here is flat, the water table is high, and the clay barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls. Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days after a storm.

That is why a fines-bearing material like SB-2 base is compacted rather than counted on to drain, and why a clean washed stone such as #57 limestone or 3/4 inch clean goes where water has to move.

The soil is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, with sandier ridges and older terraces in places. Bare cropland silt sheets off, and ditch and bayou banks slough.

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

Winters are short and mild and frost is shallow. The dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.
