Start with SB-2 base, the crushed stone this part of Arkansas builds pads and drives on. The Delta ground here is heavy clay, so what goes under the stone matters as much as the stone.

Ground and Conditions in Hickory Ridge

Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, the ground is deep silt loam and heavy clay. Water barely moves through it.

Rain stands where it falls. Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and flat ground holds that water for days.

A thin base fails first at the edges, where the clay stays soft and the surface stone pumps and spreads. Build the base deep enough to bridge that soft layer, and set the base on ground that has been shaped to shed water.

Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint on scheduling here. The midsummer dry spell, when the clay shrinks and cracks, is the best window for base work.

Frost is shallow across the Delta. Saturated clay ruts a loaded drive in winter with no frost involved at all.

Materials for Hickory Ridge Projects

Bedding is where a paver patio or a flat slab is won or lost. The bedding layer has to sit flat, hold its shape and stay put when water reaches it.

For bedding under pavers, flagstone and brick, use screenings, the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines. Screenings bed and level the units and fill the joints into a tight walking surface.

Under that bedding, SB-2 Base carries the load. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Engineers and city standards write the same material as Class 7 base, which is the name to use when you are working to a written spec.

For the sand finish, Mason Sand beds brick, block and stone, sweeps into paver joints and works as play sand. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pools.

Drainage behind a retaining wall or along a downspout run calls for clean washed stone. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains and foundation drainage, and 3/4" Crushed Stone does the same job where a washed stone with no fines is wanted.
