SB-2 Base Delivery for Tilly, AR

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Tilly, AR, Arkansas Rock Supply sends bulk material by the ton to Searcy County jobs. SB-2 base is the local standard for drives and pads.

Around here that base sits on stony silt loam and clay over sandstone and shale. Thin ridge soil and rock ledges mean the base course has to do more of the work.

Materials for Tilly Projects

A lot of ground here needs to come up before anything goes on top of it. Fill dirt, also called fill, is bulk fill for raising low ground and building a pad up out of the wet.

Once the grade is where you want it, a dense-graded base locks up under compaction.

SB-2 base is that base: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. It works for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding.

When a job is written to a spec, the same material appears as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course.

For a driveway, start with SB-2 base over your fill and finish with a surfacing layer such as Driveway Gravel. Crusher run is the finer dense-graded option where a tighter-binding material is wanted, though SB-2 is the name most Arkansas suppliers and crews use.

For a patio or paver area, Screenings bed the pavers, fill the joints, and give you a tight walking surface. Washed Sand handles leveling and bedding under slabs, and Mason Sand suits brick, block, and stone work.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base. A smaller option, #89 Crushed Stone, fits tight joints and close bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Tilly

Across the Boston Mountains, the soil is stony, acid silt loam and clay sitting over flat-lying sandstone and shale. Ridges are thin and only the foot of a slope carries real depth, so a pad often needs fill before it needs stone.

Shale beds perch water above the rock, which leaves slopes wet and slick long after a rain. The sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow.

A steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it.

That is why an under-built base is the weak point. Slope length and gradient drive the erosion: runoff cuts ruts on steep hollow drives and carries surfacing to the bottom.

Saturated shale slopes also slump after long rain.

Timing matters. Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the limits, and grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall once the slopes have dried out.

On shaded north-facing slopes, frost holds longest, so ask the Searcy County building official for the local frost line.

Questions About Material in Tilly

What is the best base under pavers in Tilly?

SB-2 base is the compacted layer under the bedding, and screenings bed the pavers themselves. The fines in SB-2 let it lock up under a roller, which is what keeps a paver area from shifting.

Thin ridge soil and clay here mean the base course carries the load, so do not short it.
