Shredded Mulch Delivery for Dumas, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Dumas, AR, and the material most local ground work starts from is SB-2 base. It is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Dumas sits in Desha County on flat Delta ground, where heavy clay holds water and a drive or pad needs a base that will not pump. SB-2 base is that base.

Materials for Dumas Projects

Decorative rock does a lot of work in Delta yards. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover around a slab all take a rounded stone that sheds water and stays put.

Arkansas River Rock is the standard choice for decorative beds and dry creek beds. It is rounded and washed, so it moves water instead of holding it.

Large River Rock suits heavier decorative work and light bank protection where a bigger rounded stone is wanted.

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

Under the decorative layer, the base still has to be right. SB-2 Base carries driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

When a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 base.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse. It goes into French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate.

Beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch, which holds moisture through a Delta summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Ground and Conditions in Dumas

Ground across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. The Delta is known for that buckshot and gumbo soil, and it barely takes water.

Dumas sits on flat ground with a high water table. Rain stands where it falls, and field ditches and bayous drain slowly.

That combination is hard on an under-built base. Clay that stays wet will let a loaded truck rut a drive deeply, and no frost is needed for that to happen.

So the base course has to bridge wet ground rather than sit in it. SB-2 base, placed over ground that has been built up out of the wet, gives a drive or pad something that compacts and stays put.

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

Work runs all year here. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.
