Materials for McGehee Projects

Raising grade is the first job on most Delta builds. Low ground stays wet, so a pad gets built up before anything else happens on it.

Fill Dirt does that work: bulk fill that lifts a building pad or a driveway out of the wet.

Once the pad is up, it needs a base that locks together under a roller. SB-2 Base is the Arkansas answer, a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in.

Engineers and cities write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base. If you are building to a written spec, that is the name to use.

For a driveway, start with fill if the ground is low, then cap it with SB-2 base and finish with Driveway Gravel on the surface. For a patio, bed the pavers on Screenings, the crusher fines Arkansas yards sell for paver and flagstone bedding and joint filling.

For a drain, the fines have to come out. #57 Limestone is a washed stone for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the clean size for drainage beds and construction entrances. Under a slab or a pool, Washed Sand beds and levels the surface.

Ground and Conditions in McGehee

The Mississippi Alluvial Plain is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. Locals call it buckshot and gumbo.

The ground is flat, the water table is high, and the clay barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls. Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

An under-built base on that ground pumps, shifts and ruts, because the clay under it never dries out.

That is why fill and sub-base carry the weight of the job here. Grade gets raised first, then a dense graded base goes on compacted ground rather than wet clay.

Work runs all year, but wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint. The midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Frost is shallow across the Delta. Saturated clay is the winter problem, not frost.

A loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved at all.

Questions About Material in McGehee

What is the best base under pavers in McGehee?

SB-2 base under the bedding, then screenings on top. SB-2 is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller and gives the pavers something solid to sit on.

Screenings, also called crusher fines, bed the pavers themselves and fill the joints. On Delta clay, raise the grade with fill first if the ground is low.
