Fill Dirt Delivery for Ward, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Ward, AR to sites across Lonoke County. This is Delta ground: heavy clay and silt loam that holds water and pumps under a truck.

Building a pad up out of that wet ground starts with fill dirt and SB-2 base. Order both online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Delivery to Ward and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you need to size the load.

Choose a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material in one pile where you want it. Bulk delivery covers Ward and the rest of Lonoke County, including Cabot, Lonoke, Austin, England and Carlisle.

Ward sits in Lonoke County, and the same wet clay runs under most of it. Plan for a firm spot for the pile, because a loaded truck on saturated ground will rut a drive deeply.

Materials for Ward Projects

Raising grade is the first job on most Ward sites. Low ground and a high water table mean a pad has to come up before anything goes on top of it.

Start with Fill Dirt to build the pad up out of the wet. Bulk fill goes down first, and the base course goes on after it.

Then cap it with SB-2 Base. That is the dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller.

Engineers and city standards write the same material as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

For a driveway, top the compacted base with Driveway Gravel. It surfaces an existing drive or caps a new one on rural and county road properties.

For a patio or a walkway, bed the pavers in Screenings. Limestone fines pack tight and give a firm surface under flagstone, brick and pavers.

For drainage, use #57 Limestone. The washed size has no fines, so water moves through it in French drains, foundation drains and pipe runs.

Ground and Conditions in Ward

Mississippi Alluvial Plain ground runs deep silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. Locals call it buckshot and gumbo, and it barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls across this part of the state. Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and flat ground holds water for days after a storm.

That matters for base depth. An under built base on clay pumps and fails, so the fill and the SB-2 base have to carry the load, not the soil under them.

Work runs all year here. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Frost is shallow across the Delta, and no statewide figure is published. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.

Saturated clay, not frost, is the winter problem.

Order Fill Dirt and SB-2 Base in Ward

Wet clay ground is the reason a Ward pad needs fill and a real base under it. Fill dirt raises the grade, and SB-2 base compacts into a surface that carries a drive, a shed or a building pad.
