Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Tichnor, AR

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Tichnor, AR, the job usually starts with a driveway or a pad. Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it across Arkansas County.

SB-2 base is the material that carries most drives and pads here. It is a dense graded crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

On Delta clay, that base is what keeps a drive from turning to rut.

Materials for Tichnor Projects

A drive, a parking pad or a shed pad starts with a base course. SB-2 base is the Arkansas name for the 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone that goes down first and takes the load.

When a job is written to a spec, the same material shows up as Class 7 base, or Class 7 aggregate base course. Crusher run is the finer dense graded option where a tighter, binding base is wanted.

Above the base, the washed sizes handle water and surface. Each one is a clean stone with the fines washed out, so it drains instead of holding moisture.

• SB-2 Base for driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.
• Driveway Gravel for surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted base.
• #57 Limestone for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over base.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.
• Screenings for paver, flagstone and brick bedding, joint filling and a tight walking surface.

Sand and soil round out a site. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, mason sand works into brick, block and paver joints, and screened topsoil covers grading and bed prep.

For decorative work, river gravel and Natural Pea Gravel give a rounded, washed surface for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Tichnor

Tichnor sits in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, and the ground tells you what to expect. The soil runs to deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for.

That clay barely takes water. The ground is flat, the water table sits high, and rain stands where it falls instead of soaking away.

Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

A drive built on that ground needs a base course that sheds water rather than trapping it. SB-2 base compacts into a tight, dense layer that carries a truck, and a clean washed stone above it moves water off the surface.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare cropland silt sheets off in a storm, ditch and bayou banks slough, and river banks cave.

Rip rap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks where moving water is the problem.

Work runs all year here. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and a loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved.

The midsummer dry spell, when the clay shrinks and cracks, is the window for base work.
