Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Moro, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Moro, AR, and the timing question comes first. This is Delta ground, flat and clay-heavy, and wet winter and spring soil is the real constraint on any haul.

Midsummer is the opposite problem and the better window. The dry spell shrinks and cracks the clay, and that is when base work goes in clean.

Order SB-2 base for a pad or drive and plan the delivery around that window.

Ground and Conditions in Moro

Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain the ground runs to deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. Rain stands where it falls because the clay barely takes water, and field ditches and bayous drain slowly.

A thin base course fails here in a predictable way. The material punches down into soft clay, ruts form along the wheel paths, and the surface never locks up.

The fix is a proper base depth over ground that has been built up out of the wet. Fill dirt raises a low pad first, then a dense-graded base goes on top and compacts.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare ground sheets off, ditch and bayou banks slough, and any slope left uncovered keeps moving.

Rip rap and heavy stone armor those banks where a rounded stone will not hold.

Winters are short and mild, and frost is shallow. Saturated clay, not frost, is what ruts a drive through the winter.

Materials for Moro Projects

Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, are the material for paths and walkways. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill the joints, and leave a tight walking surface that stays put underfoot.

For a path that needs a base under it, SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas choice. 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 street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base, or Class 7 aggregate base course, which is the name to use when you are working to a written spec.

Walkway Gravel surfaces garden paths and side yards that need something finer and more walkable than a drive. Above a compacted base, 3/8" Crushed Stone works as a light top dressing and fills paver joints.

Drainage is the other half of the job. #57 Limestone, sold locally as #57 stone or clean rock, goes into French drains, foundation and pipe drainage.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed size for drainage beds and construction entrances.

Decorative work takes rounded stone. Arkansas River Rock, which suppliers here also call river gravel or creek gravel, suits beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Large River Rock carries the heavier decorative work and light bank protection.
