Walkway Gravel for Pathways in Palestine, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Palestine, AR for driveways, pads, drainage runs and garden paths. If you are bedding pavers or surfacing a walk, screenings and SB-2 base are the two materials that carry most of that work.

This is Delta ground: heavy clay that holds water and moves under a load. The material you put on top has to suit that, not fight it.

Ground and Conditions in Palestine

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

A thin base is where paths and pads fail here. The clay underneath stays soft, the stone above it works loose and pumps, and the surface ruts and dips within a season.

The fix is a base that locks up and a surface that sheds water. SB-2 base is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts instead of rolling around.

Work runs all year in this part of the state. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Frost is shallow in the Delta, and saturated clay is the winter problem rather than frost. A loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved at all.

Materials for Palestine Projects

Paths and walkways are a fines and screenings job. Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill the joints and leave a tight walking surface.

They pack down firm underfoot, which is what a garden path needs.

For a walk that sits on soft Delta clay, start with SB-2 Base. It is the standard Arkansas base material and the same stone engineers and cities write into street and sidewalk standards as Class 7 base.

Use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface than a drive takes. Screenings handle bedding and joint filling, and 3/8" Crushed Stone works for fine drainage, pipe bedding and a light top dressing over a compacted base.

Where a path needs to stay open and drain, #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse. It goes into French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and a clean top over a compacted base.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs, and Arkansas yards usually take it in brown or beige.
