Buy Fill Dirt in Okolona, AR

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Okolona, AR by the ton or the yard, and Arkansas Rock Supply tips it on your site. Start with SB-2 base for anything that has to lock up and hold.

Okolona sits in Clark County, on sandy loam over clay that soaks in, perches and then runs sideways.

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here. That means topsoil, garden soil and fill, plus the base and washed stone that go under and around them.

Materials for Okolona Projects

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

Fill Dirt goes down first, then a compacted layer over it.

Topsoil finishes the job. Top Soil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Spread it over graded ground and it gives seed and sod something to root into instead of raw clay.

For raised beds and vegetable gardens, Garden Soil is blended for planting areas. It holds moisture through a south Arkansas summer and gives roots an easier start than the ground underneath.

Once the grade is right, the base goes on. SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas material: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. SB-2 Base is also written into city and engineer standards 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 a clean, open stone for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and a clean top over a compacted base.

Where you want a finer washed stone for tight joints and close bedding, #89 Crushed Stone fits.

Sand beds and levels. Washed Sand goes under slabs and pools and beds pipe.

Mason Sand is for brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Ground and Conditions in Okolona

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil. Water soaks in fast, hits the clay, perches and then runs sideways.

Flat ground keeps the water table high for days after heavy rain.

That is the reason a drive or pad needs a real base course, not just a surface. SB-2 base with the fines left in binds and compacts into a layer that carries a load.

Clean washed stone will not do that job.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, so arm the places where water leaves the site.

RipRap is broken stone for bank and slope armoring, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Work runs all year here. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.

Freezes are short and shallow, so wet ground, not frost, is the reason to build base depth properly.
