Materials for Wickes Projects

Fill and sub-base carry a lot of the work here. Ground that sits low or holds water gets built up before anything goes on top of it, and the material you raise grade with decides how the finished surface behaves.

Fill Dirt is the bulk choice for raising low ground and building a pad up out of the wet. It goes down first, and the base course follows.

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. It works for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding.

When a written standard calls for it, the same material is specified as Class 7 base.

For a driveway, SB-2 base over fill dirt is the usual build. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county-road properties.

For a patio, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Arkansas yards call these limestone fines or crusher fines.

For a drain, #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size: French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate, and a clean top over a compacted base. Drain Rock covers French drains, dry wells and downspout runs.

Top Soil finishes lawns, grading and bed prep, and buyers here usually want it screened. Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Ground and Conditions in Wickes

Across the Ouachita Mountains, tilted shale and chert beds shed water off the ridges fast and funnel it into narrow valleys. A drive or pad takes concentrated flow arriving from above, not just the rain that lands on it.

So an under-built base shows up quickly. Fill dirt raises the pad out of the wet, and SB-2 base goes on top of ground that drains and compacts.

Streams in this part of the state run flashy, and steep drive cuts lose surfacing after a big storm. Rip rap and larger stone armor banks and culvert outlets where flow concentrates.

Work runs year-round. Winter ice and a wet spring are the limits, and north-facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet.
