SB-2 base is the Arkansas base material most drives and pads here start from. On flat Delta ground, drainage is the other half of the job, and clean washed stone handles it.

Materials for Caraway Projects

Washed stone is what this page leads with, because flat ground and slow-draining clay make water the first problem on most sites. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need stone with no fines left in it.

The washed sizes below are the ones that let water move instead of ponding.

Crusher run and SB-2 base carry fines, so they bind and compact under a roller. Those belong under a drive, a parking pad or a building pad, not inside a drainage trench.

#57 limestone is the workhorse washed size for a French drain or a drywell. 3/4 inch clean limestone does the same work one size up, and it also surfaces a drive when you want stone with no fines in it.

Drain rock, sometimes called filter rock, covers foundation drains and downspout runs. Smaller washed sizes like #67 Stone and #8 crushed stone fit tight joints and close bedding.

For laying pavers or flagstone, Screenings bed the units and fill the joints, giving a tight walking surface. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work.

For a drive base, SB-2 Base is the dense-graded crushed stone with the fines left in. Engineers and cities write the same material into street and parking standards as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Decorative work follows the same logic. Arkansas River Rock and large river rock suit dry creek beds and borders, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel handles walkways and play areas.

Soil and fill round out a site. Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on.

Top Soil and Garden Soil handle lawns, grading and raised beds, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through the summer.

Ground and Conditions in Caraway

Caraway sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is deep alluvial silt loam and heavy clay. That clay barely takes water, the water table is high, and rain stands where it falls.

Field ditches and bayous drain slowly here.

That changes how you build. A pad needs fill under it to get the surface up out of the wet before SB-2 base goes down.

Drainage stone and a clear outlet matter as much as the base itself.

Work runs all year in this part of Arkansas. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, since saturated clay ruts deeply under a loaded truck with no frost involved.

The midsummer dry spell, when the clay shrinks and cracks, is the best window for base work.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare cropland silt sheets off in storms, and ditch and bayou banks slough where water runs against them.

Riprap and large river rock armor those banks where a rounded or angular stone is wanted.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Caraway?

SB-2 base is the standard choice for a drive or parking pad in Arkansas. It is a dense-graded crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up and compacts.

On Delta clay, get the surface up out of the wet first with fill, then place the base. For a clean top layer with no fines, 3/4 inch clean limestone works over a compacted base.
