Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Pettigrew, AR

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Pettigrew, AR runs on the working season. Grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall, once the slopes have dried out.

Arkansas Rock Supply delivers SB-2 base, stone, sand and soil to this part of Madison County.

Thin ridge soils and wet shale benches set the timing. Order when the ground is workable, not when it is holding water.

Materials for Pettigrew Projects

Grading and bed prep start with what goes under the finished surface. On these slopes, that usually means fill to build the pad up and soil to finish it.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before any base course goes on. Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and buyers here want it screened.

Garden Soil fills raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas. Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Under a drive or a parking pad, 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. Cities and engineers write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

Screenings, the trade name for crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

Sand comes washed or mason grade. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand handles brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Pettigrew

Water drives everything on a Boston Mountains slope. Shale beds perch water above the rock, so slopes stay wet and slick while the sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow.

That means a steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it. Slope length and gradient decide how much of it shows up at once.

Runoff on a steep hollow drive cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom. Saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

So a pad gets built up out of the wet before a base course goes on, and drainage stone goes where water collects rather than where it looks tidy.

Frost holds longest on shaded north-facing slopes, and exterior footings are set at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground, with the local figure set by the building official.

Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the limits on the season. Plan grading and compaction for the drier months.

What stone should I use for drainage in Pettigrew?

Washed stone with no fines is what moves water. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4 inch clean limestone works for drainage beds and construction entrances. Screenings and other fines-bearing materials bed pavers instead, since they hold water rather than pass it.
