On the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy ground over clay decides how a path or pad performs.

This page walks through what to put under a path, a pad and a drive, and what changes when the ground stays wet.

Ground and Conditions in Huttig

Sand over dense clay is the pattern across the West Gulf Coastal Plain. Rain soaks through the sand, hits the clay and then moves sideways instead of down.

That sideways water is what a base course has to survive. A thin layer of base over soft, wet clay will punch through and rut under a truck.

Bare sand also cuts and gullies fast in heavy Gulf rain. Runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets first, so edges and outlets need stone that stays put.

Across this part of Arkansas, work runs all year. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the real limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.

Freezes are short and shallow here, so wet ground matters far more than frost depth. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set its own frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.

Materials for Huttig Projects

Screenings are the material for paths and walkways. Also called limestone fines or crusher fines, screenings are fine crushed stone that packs into a tight, smooth walking surface.

They bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill the joints between them, and surface a garden path that stays firm underfoot. Screenings are also a good top layer over a compacted base on a side yard.

Under a walkway or pad, SB-2 base does the heavy work. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Contractors and engineers in Arkansas write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base. When you are working to a written spec, ask for it by that name.

Order SB-2 Base for drives, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

Where you want a finer dense-graded material that binds and compacts, crusher run is the alternative. Arkansas usually reaches for SB-2 first, so treat crusher run as the backup choice.

For a walkable decorative surface, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage. It comes rounded and washed out of river gravel deposits, usually brown or beige.

A clean washed stone with no fines belongs in drainage, not in a base. Use #57 Limestone for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

For a heavier walkway surface or a garden path that needs more body, Walkway Gravel is the finer, walkable option compared with a drive.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs, pavers and pools. Mason sand is the choice for brick, block and stone work and for paver joints.

Questions Huttig Buyers Ask

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear, firm and open enough for a dump truck to reach and tip. Mark nothing for the driver, because the load is tipped in one pile where the truck can safely stop.

Move vehicles, trailers and anything breakable out of the way beforehand.

What is the best base under pavers in Huttig?

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base under pavers, a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. It compacts into a firm layer that spreads the load.

Bed the pavers themselves on screenings, also called limestone fines, so the surface packs tight and holds the joints.
