Materials for Turrell Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of the work around here, from bed borders to dry creek beds that move water off a flat yard. Rounded stone reads better than angular in a planting bed, and it stays put where clay holds moisture.

Arkansas River Rock is the local river gravel, and it suits decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads. Large River Rock goes into heavier decorative work and light bank protection where a rounded stone is wanted.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the smaller rounded option for walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage. It comes washed out of river gravel deposits, usually brown or beige.

Under all of that you still need a base that locks up. SB-2 base is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it compacts under a roller.

Engineers and cities write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints for a tight walking surface.

Ground and Conditions in Turrell

The soil across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for. Sandier natural levee ridges and older terraces sit above it in places.

Flat ground and a high water table mean rain stands where it falls. Clay barely takes water, field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

That is why an under-built base shows up fast here. A fines-bearing material like SB-2 base compacts into a firm pad, while a clean washed stone like #57 Limestone lets water pass instead of trapping it.

Erosion follows the same pattern: sheet erosion off bare ground, ditch and bayou bank sloughing, and bank caving along the big rivers. Rip rap armor on a slope or culvert outlet holds that edge where rounded stone will not.

Work runs all year in this part of Arkansas. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Winters are short and mild, so frost is shallow. Saturated clay is the winter problem, and a loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved at all.
