SB-2 base is the one most Arkansas ground gets built on. It is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller.

Materials Delivered in Miller County

SB-2 base, also written SB2 or base stone, is the standard Arkansas base material. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding.

Arkansas cities and engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base. Use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pools. Mason sand handles brick, block and stone work, paver joints, and play areas.

Fill dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up before a base course goes on. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds through a long Arkansas summer.

Ground Conditions Across Miller County

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, the ground is deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel, clay, chalk and marl. Sandy pine uplands cover most of it.

That sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil. Water soaks in, perches on the clay, then runs sideways instead of draining away.

Flat ground and slow bayous keep the water table high for days after heavy rain. A base course over wet clay will not compact, so the drainage layer matters as much as the base.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, which is where rip rap and clean stone earn their place.

Work runs all year here. 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 across south Arkansas, so wet ground, not frost, is the reason to build a proper base depth. Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set its own frost line.

Choosing the Right Material

Hempstead County, Little River County and Lafayette County all sit on the same West Gulf Coastal Plain ground as Miller County. Deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel, clay, chalk and marl, with sandy pine uplands over most of it.

The ground is the same, so the material choices are the same. SB-2 base for drives and pads, clean washed stone for drainage, and rip rap where runoff scours a bank or outlet.

On any of that ground, the drainage layer is what keeps a compacted base working. Water that perches on the clay subsoil needs somewhere to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about gravel and aggregate delivery in Miller County

What is SB-2 base and what is it used for in Miller County?

SB-2 base is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller. Arkansas quarries and yards sell it under that name. In Miller County it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding.

How deep should a gravel driveway base be in Miller County?

No single depth fits every site, because the sandy loam over dense clay here holds water after heavy rain. The base has to reach firm, well drained ground before it will compact, and wet clay will not lock up. Size the load on the product page calculator once you know your area.
