SB-2 base is the local name for the crushed stone that carries most drives and pads here. Topsoil, garden soil and fill round out the grading work on these slopes.

Materials for Mountainburg Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. Screened topsoil goes over the stony upland ground to build a seedbed for a lawn, and garden soil fills raised beds and planting areas where vegetables and shrubs need something looser.

Fill dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before any base course goes down.

Once the grade is set, base material comes next. 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.

Engineers and city standards write the same material as Class 7 base, which is the name to use when you are working to a written spec.

Washed stone handles water. #57 limestone is the workhorse washed size, clean with no fines, and it suits French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate.

3/4 inch clean limestone does drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where a washed stone with no fines is wanted.

Sand and decorative stone finish the job. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and mason sand goes into brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

Screenings, also called limestone fines, bed pavers and flagstone and give a tight walking surface. River gravel, which many suppliers call creek gravel, fills decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Mountainburg

Water is the driver on these slopes. Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock so slopes stay wet and slick, while the sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow.

A steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it. That is why base depth and a drainage layer matter more here than the surfacing on top.

Erosion follows slope length and gradient. Runoff on steep hollow drives cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks where moving water is the problem.

Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the working limits. Grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall, once the slopes have dried out.

Shaded north-facing slopes hold frost longest, and the county or city building official sets the local frost line.
