Materials for Sage Projects

Drainage drives the material list on Ozark Plateaus ground. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams pull runoff underground fast, so French drains, drywells and downspout runs need clean washed stone that will not clog.

Coarse washed stone moves the most water. #4 Crushed Stone is heavy drainage and trench bottoms, and it stabilizes soft ground under a work area.

Railroad Ballast is the large angular stone for severe drainage and heavy hard standing.

Mid sizes handle most underground work. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size: French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is 3/4 inch clean limestone for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing. Drain Rock suits French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Smaller washed sizes finish tight work. #67 Stone is one size down from #57 for drainage and concrete work.

#8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone fit close bedding and narrow joints.

For a base that locks up, use SB-2 base. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

Engineers and Arkansas cities write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base. Crusher Run is the finer dense-graded option where a material that binds and compacts is wanted.

Surfacing and finishes round out a load. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Arkansas River Rock and Large River Rock build dry creek beds and borders.

Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns and beds.

Ground and Conditions in Sage

This is karst country. Sinkholes, springs and losing streams sit under the plateau tops, and water that drops through the rock leaves the surface dry one day and soft the next.

The soil is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel right through the profile. Rock or rubble sits close to the surface on side slopes, so a pad may need fill dirt before any base course goes on.

Residual clay filling the joints holds water at the surface after a long rain. That is why wet ground, not frost, is the reason to get base depth right before a drive or pad goes down.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks in heavy spring rain. Rip rap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks where that scouring hits.

Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring are the interruptions, and the late-summer dry spell is the easiest window to get real compaction.

Freezes come in runs from December into February, and shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring. Ice storms cause more trouble here than deep frost does.

No frost depth figure is published for Sage, and the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set its own frost line, so confirm the local figure before footings go in.
