Materials for Poplar Grove Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the job that comes before everything else on Delta ground. Fill goes down first, then a compacted base on top of it.

Fill Dirt is bulk fill for raising low ground and building a pad up out of the wet. On flat ground with a high water table, that step is what keeps a base course out of standing water.

SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas base material. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

It works for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. When a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course.

For a driveway, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate.

Screenings, also called limestone fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Ground and Conditions in Poplar Grove

Poplar Grove sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. Locals call it buckshot and gumbo ground.

It barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls, field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days. A base built thin over that clay will pump and rut, because the water has nowhere to go.

That is why fill and sub-base matter more here than the surface stone does. Build the pad up first, then compact a dense-graded base over it.

Screenings, #57 and 3/4 inch clean limestone all have their place above that base.

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

Questions About Base and Supply in Poplar Grove

What is the best base under pavers in Poplar Grove?

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base, a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller. Above it, screenings bed the pavers and fill the joints for a tight surface.

On Delta clay, build the pad up with fill first so the base is not sitting in water.
