Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Dermott, AR

If you are planning a driveway, a parking pad or a drainage run in Dermott, gravel and aggregate delivery in Dermott, AR starts with the right base. Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it across Chicot County.

Start with SB-2 base. It is the dense graded crushed stone this part of Arkansas builds on, and it sets the grade for everything that goes over it.

Materials for Dermott Projects

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material. It is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller and carries a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad.

When a job is written to a standard, the same material shows up as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. That is how cities and engineers specify it for streets, sidewalks and parking areas, and it is the same stone under a spec name.

Over the base, a washed stone does the drainage and surfacing work. #57 Limestone goes into French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and it makes a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed stone with no fines, used for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing. Screenings, also called crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

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

Top Soil and Fill Dirt handle the ground itself. Fill dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on, and screened topsoil finishes lawns and beds.

Ground and Conditions in Dermott

Dermott sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, and the ground here is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. It is the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for, laid down by the big rivers that cross this part of the state.

That clay barely takes water. The ground is flat, the water table runs high, and rain stands where it falls instead of soaking away.

Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

For a drive or a pad, that means water has to have somewhere to go before the surface goes down. A compacted base over saturated clay will pump and rut, so the pad gets built up out of the wet first.

Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint on work here, not cold. The clay stays wet enough that a loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved at all.

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

Bare ground also moves. Sheet erosion off exposed silt and sloughing ditch and bayou banks are the common problems, and both are reasons to get a surface or a cover on graded ground quickly.
