Materials for Mount Vernon Projects

Start with drainage, because that is where most trouble shows up. A French drain, a drywell and a downspout run all want a washed stone with no fines in it.

Washed stone stays open. Water passes through instead of sitting in the trench.

#57 limestone is the size to reach for in a drain or a drywell. It is washed, so the voids stay open and water moves.

3/4 inch clean limestone does the same work on a bigger scale. Use it in a drainage bed, a construction entrance or as a clean top over a compacted base.

Screenings, which Arkansas yards call limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone. They lock tight and give you a firm walking surface.

For a drive or a shed pad, SB-2 base is the standard 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 spec is in play, Class 7 base is the name engineers and cities use for the same material. Crusher run fits the same work in a finer dense graded size.

Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock handle the decorative side. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs.

River gravel and creek gravel build dry creek beds and borders.

Topsoil and garden soil cover lawns, grading and raised beds. Fill dirt raises low ground before a base course goes on.

Have the drop spot clear when the truck arrives. Give some thought to where the pile lands, since the material stays where it is tipped.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Vernon

Work runs nearly all year in this part of Arkansas. A wet late winter and spring is the real limit, and summer heat can dry a surface before it can be rolled.

That timing matters more than the calendar. Schedule a delivery around a dry stretch when you can.

The ground here is deep silt loam and clay on the river bottoms and terraces, with shale and sandstone uplands between them. Clay subsoils hold water and release it slowly.

Wet clay softens and pumps under traffic all winter. That is the reason a proper base depth matters more than cold does.

Bank scour and flood flow along the Arkansas River and its lakes move a lot of soil, and spring thunderstorms sheet erode bare valley clay. Rip rap armors banks, slopes and culvert outlets where a rounded stone will not hold.

Mild winters here break with short hard freezes and the occasional ice storm. Frost action stays shallow, so wet ground is the bigger concern on a base.
