Order SB-2 Base and Crushed Stone in Clay County, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Clay County, AR, and most base work here starts with SB-2 base. Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load by the ton or the yard before you order.

Clay County spans two very different ground regions. Corning, Rector, Pollard and Knobel sit on Delta clay, and Piggott sits up on the loess ridge.

That split decides what you put down and how deep. Wet clay and a high water table are the real constraint on the flat ground, not cold.

On the ridge, water runs off and cuts where the loess is left bare.

Materials delivered in Clay County

Base material comes first. SB-2 base 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.

Table 303-1 sets the aggregate base course gradings as Class 1 through Class 8, and Class 7 is the 1 1/2 inch dense grading sold as SB-2.

Class 8 is the 1 inch version. Section 302 covers select material used as a foundation course underneath.

Cities and counties write Class 7 into their own street, sidewalk and parking standards, so ask for it by that name when you are working to a written spec.

Above the base, the washed sizes do the drainage work. #57 limestone handles French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate.

3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing. Screenings, the trade name for crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

For soft or saturated ground, #4 Crushed Stone stabilizes trench bottoms and heavy drainage. RipRap armors banks and slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

On the ridge, that matters where a fresh loess cut sheds water fast.

Finishing materials round it out. Top Soil goes on lawns and bed prep over heavy Delta clay.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools. Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a Delta summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Ground conditions across Clay County

Timing comes first. Work runs all year here, and wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint.

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

Corning, Rector, Pollard and Knobel sit on deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for. The ground is flat, the water table is high and the clay barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls, and field ditches and bayous drain slowly.

That is why a Delta pad needs to be built up out of the wet before a base course goes on. Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds the pad.

On ground like this, a loaded truck will rut a drive deeply through a wet winter with no frost involved at all.

Piggott is different ground entirely. It sits on deep wind-blown loess over Tertiary sand, gravel and clay, standing well above the Delta floor.

The loess is fertile and well drained and cuts cleanly, but it slumps and gullies wherever it is left bare.

Water runs off the ridge rather than standing on it. Loess takes rain readily until it saturates, then sheds it down steep road cuts and hollows onto the plain below.

A freshly cut loess slope wants armoring or planting before the next heavy rain.

Choosing the right material

Randolph County and Greene County both reach into the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, the same flat clay ground that covers Corning, Rector, Pollard and Knobel. On that shared ground the base and drainage choice is the same: build the pad up out of the wet, then compact a dense-graded base on top.

Randolph County also takes in the Ozark Plateaus, where the ground is rock and karst rather than deep clay. That is a real difference, and it changes drainage.

Water moves down through rock instead of sitting on it, so a drainage layer is doing a different job there than it does on Delta clay.

Greene County shares the Crowley's Ridge ground with Piggott, so the loess slope and runoff picture is much the same. Where the ground matches, the material choice matches too.
