Materials for Dierks Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of yards here start, and the material choices are simple once you know what each one does.

Arkansas River Rock is rounded, washed gravel for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. People here say river gravel or creek gravel just as often as river rock.

Large River Rock handles dry creek beds and heavier decorative work where a bigger rounded stone is wanted. It also works on light bank protection.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage. Arkansas yards usually get it in brown or beige.

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

Under all of it, SB-2 Base is the compacted layer for driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding. When a written standard calls for Class 7 base, that is the same material under the engineer's name.

Ground and Conditions in Dierks

The ground across the Ouachita Mountains is stony, gravelly loam over folded sandstone, shale, chert and novaculite. Rock fragments run through the soil profile, and the ridges carry shallower ground than the valleys between them.

That matters before anything goes on top. A base course laid over an under-built pad on this ground moves once water gets to it, so the fill and the base have to be right first.

Tilted shale and chert beds shed water off the ridges fast and funnel it into narrow valleys. A drive or pad here takes concentrated flow arriving from above, not just the rain that lands on it.

Ridge runoff and flashy streams push that water hard, and steep drive cuts lose surfacing after a big storm. A drainage layer under the surfacing gives the water somewhere to go.

Work runs year round. Winter ice and a wet spring are the limits, and once the rocky ground drains it compacts well and holds.

Cold snaps and ice storms matter more here than a long frozen season. North-facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet, which is when a gravel drive ruts most easily.
