SB-2 base is the Arkansas base material most local work starts from, a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. The ground here is deep sandy loam over sandy clay, so the right stone matters.

Materials for Parkdale Projects

Parkdale sits where flat ground, slow drainage and intense Gulf rainfall meet. That is why the coarsest stone on the page leads: slope, swale and bank protection is the work that keeps water where you want it.

RipRap is the heavy option for armoring banks and slopes. Use it on creek and bayou edges, culvert outlets and ditch checks where a large angular stone is needed.

#4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, trench bottoms and soft ground that needs stabilizing. Construction entrances and French drains also take this size well.

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size. It suits French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and a clean top over a compacted base.

SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas base, a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up under a roller and carries driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

Cities and engineers write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base, so ask for it that way when you are working to a written spec. Screenings, the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Delivery to Parkdale and the Surrounding Area

You order online by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on site. Pick your delivery date at checkout and the truck arrives with the material you sized.

Parkdale sits in Ashley County, and delivery reaches the surrounding area, including Crossett, Hamburg, Portland, Wilmot and Montrose. One truck brings one pile to your site; where you place it after that is up to you.

Sandy ground stays workable through much of the year, but a long wet spell softens hauling ground. Timing a delivery around that keeps a loaded truck out of a soft spot.

Ground and Conditions in Parkdale

Work runs all year across the West Gulf Coastal Plain. The limit is winter and spring rain on sandy clay, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft for days.

The soil here is deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel and clay. Sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil, so water soaks in, perches, then runs sideways.

Flat ground and slow bayous keep the water table high after heavy rain. That is why a drainage layer under a pad earns its place before a base course goes on.

Bare sand cuts and gullies fast under Gulf rainfall, and thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets. Coarse stone on those edges is what slows the water down and holds the ground in place.

Freezes are short and shallow here. Wet ground, not frost, is the reason to build a proper base depth and get water moving away from a pad.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Parkdale

What stone should I use for drainage in Parkdale?

Start with the size of the water you are moving. #57 Limestone and 3/4 inch clean limestone are washed sizes with no fines, which makes them right for French drains, foundation drains and pipe runs.

For heavy drainage or soft, wet trench bottoms, #4 Crushed Stone is the larger angular option. RipRap armors banks, swales and culvert outlets where flow is strong.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the spot clear and reachable before the truck backs in. A dump truck tips the load in one pile, so the ground needs to hold the weight and the approach needs room.
