Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Wheatley, AR

Start with SB-2 base for drives and pads. Then build up from the ground, because Delta ground is heavy clay that holds water.

Materials for Wheatley Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Get the fill and the soil right and everything above it sits better.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on. On flat Delta ground that is often the first load on the job.

Top Soil dresses lawns and beds after grading. Ask for it screened, since the local ground runs to silt loam and heavy clay.

Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots where you want loose, workable ground instead of gumbo.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a Delta summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Base and Driveway Stone

SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas base: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller. Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

Engineers and city standards write the same material as Class 7 base. When you are working to a written spec, that is the name on the sheet.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county-road property.

Washed Stone

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size here. French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate, and a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone has no fines in it, so water moves through. Use it for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and give you a tight walking surface.

Sand and Decorative

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools. Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and dog runs. Arkansas River Rock and Large River Rock handle decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Wheatley

Rain stands where it falls here. The ground is flat, the water table sits high, and the clay barely takes water.

Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain the soil runs to deep silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, with sandier ridges scattered through it. Water has nowhere to go, so it sits on top.

That shapes what you build. A pad needs fill under it before any base course goes down, or the base pumps and ruts the first wet winter.

Drainage is the other half. A washed stone like #57 limestone or 3/4 inch clean limestone moves water away from a foundation, a downspout run or a French drain.

Fines-bearing material will not do that job.

Timing matters too. Work runs all year, but wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint.

The midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Frost is shallow and winters are mild. Saturated clay, not frost, is what ruts a drive when a loaded truck rolls across it.

What stone should I use for drainage in Wheatley?

Use a washed stone with no fines. #57 limestone is the standard size for French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding, and 3/4 inch clean limestone works for drainage beds and construction entrances.

Fines-bearing material like SB-2 base compacts and holds water, so keep it out of a drainage run.
