Start with the material that suits the job. On the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy ground and a clay subsoil change what a path or a pad needs underneath.

Ground and Conditions in Louann

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy topsoil sits over a dense clay subsoil. Water soaks in fast, then perches on the clay and moves sideways.

Flat ground holds that water high for days after heavy rain. A thin base course fails first here, because it never gets a chance to dry out.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, so edges need a material that holds them.

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

Freezes are short and shallow in south Arkansas. An ice storm matters far more here than frost depth ever will.

The fix for soft, shifting ground is a dense-graded base that compacts and sheds water. SB-2 base is the material built for that job.

Materials for Louann Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways. Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill the joints and leave a tight walking surface.

For a walk that stays firm underfoot, use walkway gravel over a compacted base. It gives a finer surface than a drive needs.

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base 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.

Cities and engineers write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base. Use that name when you are working to a written spec.

For a finer dense-graded option, crusher run binds and compacts the same way.

Drainage needs clean, washed stone with no fines. #57 limestone suits French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4 inch clean limestone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing. Screenings handle bedding and joint filling.

Finish beds and borders with Arkansas River Rock, or use 3/8 inch natural pea gravel on walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Questions About Ordering

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure the truck can reach it. Move vehicles, trailers and equipment out of the way.

The driver tips the load in one pile, so leave room for the material to spread as it lands. Mark the spot if you want it in an exact place.

What is the best base under pavers in Louann?

SB-2 base is the standard choice. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm, stable layer.

Bed the pavers themselves on screenings, which give a tight surface and fill the joints. Class 7 base is the same material under the name engineers specify.
