Gravel, Stone and Soil for Greene County, AR
Arkansas Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Greene County, AR for driveways, pads, drainage runs and landscaping beds. Most of that work starts with SB-2 base, the dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone local yards sell for driveways, parking pads and building pads.
Greene County spreads across two very different kinds of ground. Paragould sits up on Crowley's Ridge, and Marmaduke, Lafe, Delaplaine and Beech Grove sit out on the flat Delta floor.
Materials Delivered in Greene County
SB-2 base is the state base material. It is a dense graded crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller, and it goes under driveways, shed pads, parking areas and pipe bedding.
Table 303-1 sets the base course gradings as Class 1 through Class 8, and Class 7 is the 1 1/2 inch dense grading sold as SB-2.
Cities and counties write Class 7 into their own street, sidewalk and parking standards, so the same stone carries the spec name when you are working to a written standard.
Screenings bed pavers and fill joints on patios and walks. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and dog runs in a brown or beige tone.
Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up before a base course goes on.
Choosing the Right Material
Craighead County sits in the Arkansas Delta and spans the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and Crowley's Ridge, the same two ground regions Greene County spans. The ground is the same, so the base and drainage choices carry over.
Randolph County and Lawrence County each span the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and the Ozark Plateaus. That adds a rock and karst side to the ground that Greene County does not have.
If your site is on that Ozark Plateaus side, drainage is often about rock rather than saturated clay. On the flat Delta ground on both sides of that line, the clay is the deciding factor instead.
Ground Conditions Across Greene County
In the Mississippi Alluvial Plain around Marmaduke, Lafe, Delaplaine and Beech Grove, the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, laid down by the Mississippi, St. Francis, White, Cache and Arkansas rivers.
The Delta is also known for buckshot and gumbo ground.
Water stands on that flat ground. The water table is high, the clay barely takes water, and field ditches and bayous drain slowly, so a thin base course turns to ruts fast.
In the Crowley's Ridge ground at Paragould, you are on deep wind-blown loess, up to about 50 feet of it, over Tertiary sand, gravel and clay, standing 250 to 500 feet above the Delta floor.
The loess is fertile and well drained, and it cuts cleanly. It also slumps and gullies wherever it is left bare, so a freshly cut ridge slope needs armoring or planting before the next heavy rain.
Across the whole county, work runs all year. Wet winter and spring ground is the real limit, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.
Frost is shallow here and winters are short and mild. No statewide frost depth figure is published, and the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line.
