Materials for Sturkie Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Sturkie project usually starts, and SB-2 base is the material that carries it. SB-2 is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

When you are working to a written standard, the same material appears as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. That is the name engineers and cities write into street, sidewalk and parking specs.

SB-2 Base covers both. A finer dense graded option, Crusher Run, binds and compacts where a tighter material is wanted.

On top of a compacted base, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops the base on a rural or county road property. For paths and side yards that need a finer walking surface than a drive, Walkway Gravel is the one to look at.

Washed stone handles everything that has to move water. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size, used in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where no fines are wanted.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Top Soil and Garden Soil handle lawns, grading and raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in Sturkie

Water in this part of the Ozark Plateaus leaves through the rock rather than across it. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams take runoff underground fast.

The residual clay filling the joints still holds water at the surface after a long rain.

That combination is why a base course earns its place here. Ground that stays soft under the surface will not hold a drive no matter what is spread on top.

SB-2 base with the fines left in compacts into a surface that sheds the water instead of sponging it up.

The soil across the Ozark Plateaus is a cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel right through the profile. On side slopes, rock or rubble sits close to the surface.

Digging a pad means meeting that rock, and fill dirt may be needed to raise low ground before a base goes down.

Erosion follows the steep hollow slopes and the flashy streams. Heavy spring rain scours drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks.

Riprap and clean washed stone at outlets and on banks take that energy without washing away, because a rounded or angular stone with no fines does not soften and run.

Timing matters as much as material. 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 run from December into February here, and shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring.

Delivery to Sturkie and the Surrounding Area

Sturkie sits in Fulton County, and delivery covers the surrounding communities of Salem, Mammoth Spring, Viola, Bexar and Camp. Bulk material arrives by dump truck and the load is tipped in one pile on site.

Have the drop area clear before the truck arrives. The driver tips the load and leaves; the material is not placed, spread or split between piles.

A firm, open spot near where the material is going saves you moving it twice.

Ordering runs online. You choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator if you need to size the load.
