Materials for Lake City Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil. Screened topsoil covers a graded lawn or a new bed, and garden soil fills raised beds and planting areas.

Both go down over Delta clay that needs the cover.

Fill dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on. That order matters here, because water stands where the ground is flat.

For a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad, SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas material. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

When a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. Crusher run is the finer dense-graded option for drives and pads.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed size with no fines for drainage beds and drive surfacing.

Sand beds and levels. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand beds brick, block and stone work and fills paver joints.

Decorative stone finishes the yard. Arkansas River Rock covers beds, borders and dry creek beds, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Ground and Conditions in Lake City

Rain is the driver across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Flat ground, a high water table and clay that barely takes water mean rain stands where it falls.

Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days. A pad built up out of the wet with fill dirt keeps a base course above that.

Bare ground moves. Sheet erosion carries silt off open ground, and ditch and bayou banks slough where nothing holds them.

Rip rap armors banks, slopes and culvert outlets.

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 window for base work.

Winters are short and mild. Frost is shallow, but saturated clay ruts a loaded drive deeply with no frost involved at all.
