Fill and Base Material Delivered in Benton, AR

Materials for Benton Projects

Start with what you are building. Raised pads and low ground come first, then the surface that sits on them.

Raising grade is the job that decides everything after it. SB-2 base, also called SB2 or base stone, is the dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller.

Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

Where the ground is soft or sits low, bulk fill goes down before any base course. Fill Dirt raises a pad up out of the wet so the compacted layer above it has something to sit on.

When a written standard applies, the same dense graded material is specified as Class 7 base, or Class 7 aggregate base course. Cities and engineers write it that way into street, sidewalk and parking standards.

Class 8 base is the tighter 1 inch minus version sold alongside it.

Where a finer material that binds and compacts is wanted, crusher run, also called dense graded base, does the same work.

Driveways, pads and parking

• Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county-road property.
• SB-2 Base builds the base course under any of it.
• Crusher Run is the finer dense graded option for drives and pads.

Drainage and wet ground

• #57 Limestone is the washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and a clean top over a compacted base.
• Drain Rock handles French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and downspout runs.
• RipRap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Patios, pavers and paths

• Screenings, the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and leave a tight walking surface.
• Walkway Gravel gives garden paths and side yards a finer, walkable surface than a drive.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage.
• Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools.

Beds, lawns and planting

• Top Soil, screened, for lawns, grading and bed prep.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens.
• Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Ground and Conditions in Benton

Across the Central Arkansas fall line the ground runs mixed. Gravelly rocky clay loam and syenite outcrops sit on one side of the belt, sandy and clayey coastal-plain soils to the south, deep river silt and clay to the east.

Two things follow from that. Tight clay subsoils and flat terraces hold water, and runoff coming off the foothills concentrates where the slope flattens out.

An under-built base loses to that. Wet clay subgrade softens badly under traffic through the winter, so the pad and the base course above it carry the load.

Get fill and SB-2 base right and the surface material lasts.

Work runs all year here. Winter rain on clay and midsummer heat set the limits, not frozen ground.

Frost is shallow, and no statewide depth figure is published.

Bare clay slopes on newly cut lots are the other exposure, with flashy runoff and channel scour working on tributaries. Rip rap and a drainage layer earn their place on cut banks and outlets.
