Buy Fill Dirt in Ratcliff, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Ratcliff, AR to rural properties, new pads and garden projects. SB-2 base, fill dirt, topsoil and garden soil all leave as full bulk loads.

This is Arkansas River Valley ground: deep silt loam and clay on the bottoms, with shale and sandstone uplands between them. That mix decides what you put down first.

Materials for Ratcliff Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Fill dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before any base course goes on.

Order Fill Dirt when the grade has to come up before anything else can happen.

On top of that, screened topsoil gives a lawn or a graded yard something to root into. Arkansas buyers usually want it screened, and Top Soil is the material for lawns, grading and bed prep over cherty upland soil or heavy clay.

For raised beds and vegetable plots, garden soil is the planting layer rather than the structural one. Garden Soil goes into beds and planting areas, not under a drive.

Once the grade is right, the base goes down. SB-2 base, also called SB2 or base stone, is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.

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

Order it as SB-2 Base.

Sand and washed stone handle the wet side of a site. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand or river sand, is for bedding, leveling and sand under slabs and pools.

#57 Limestone, or 57 rock, is a washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and a clean top over a compacted base.

Ground and Conditions in Ratcliff

Across the Arkansas River Valley, rain, snowmelt and upstream storms all end up in the same place: flat bottomland with a high water table near the river. Clay subsoils let go of that water slowly.

Backwater after heavy rain upstream is the other half of it. Water that has nowhere to go sits against a subgrade until the clay softens.

That is why a base course matters more here than cold does. Wet clay subgrade still softens and pumps under traffic all winter, so a drive or pad needs a compacted base over properly graded ground.

Erosion runs two ways in this part of the state. Bank scour and flood flow work on the river and its lakes, while spring thunderstorms sheet water off bare valley clay.

Rip rap, also called riprap, armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks with broken sandstone, limestone or syenite.

Work runs nearly all year here. A wet late winter and spring is the real limit, and summer heat can dry a surface before it can be rolled.

What stone should I use for drainage in Ratcliff?

Washed stone with no fines is what moves water. #57 limestone is the standard size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage.
