Materials for Russellville Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the job that sets up everything after it. On wet valley clay, fill dirt goes down first to lift the pad out of the water, then a compacted base course goes on top.

For that base, 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. Engineers and city standards often write the same material as Class 7 base, and it is specified that way on street, sidewalk and parking work.

For a driveway, start with Fill Dirt where the grade is low, then cap it with SB-2 Base or Driveway Gravel for the running surface. Where a written spec calls for a tighter 1 inch minus, Crusher Run is the dense-graded option.

For a patio or walkway, bed the pavers on Screenings, the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines. Screenings pack tight and give you a firm surface for flagstone, brick and pavers.

For a drain, #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage. 3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds and construction entrances, and Drain Rock handles dry wells and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Russellville

Across the Arkansas River Valley, the ground runs to deep silt loam and clay on the bottoms and terraces, with shale and sandstone uplands between them. Clay subsoil lets go of water slowly, so a base built thin over it will soften and pump under traffic.

Flat bottomland also sits close to the water table, and backwater after heavy rain upstream keeps those soils wet well into spring. Fill and sub-base depth is what lifts a pad above that, which is why the grade work comes first.

Spring thunderstorms also sheet water off bare valley clay and scour banks along the river and its lakes. RipRap armors slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks where moving water is the problem.

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.
