SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base, a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up under a roller and carries a drive, a pad or a parking area.

Materials for Wilson Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with coarse stone. Rounded material rolls and fines wash, so the work calls for angular rock that grips and stays put.

RipRap is the heavy end of that work. It armors banks and slopes, holds culvert outlets and checks a ditch where water moves fast and ground gives way.

#4 Crushed Stone sits one step down. It stabilizes soft ground, lines a trench bottom and handles heavy drainage where a large angular stone is wanted.

#57 Limestone is the washed workhorse. It goes into French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same idea in a smaller clean size. Drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing all take it.

For the base under all of it, SB-2 Base is the material Arkansas crews name. Engineers and cities write the same stone into their standards as Class 7 base, so reach for that name when you build to a written spec.

Ground and Conditions in Wilson

Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, the soil is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. The Delta is known for that buckshot and gumbo ground, and it barely takes water.

Ground here is flat, the water table is high, and rain stands where it falls. Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

That shapes timing more than anything else. Work runs all year, but wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and a loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved at all.

The midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work. That is when a compacted base goes in and stays put.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare cropland silt sheets off, ditch and bayou banks slough, and river banks cave.

Coarse stone on those edges slows the loss.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Wilson

What stone should I use for drainage in Wilson?

For French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, use a washed size with no fines, such as #57 Limestone or 3/4" Crushed Stone. Clean stone lets water move through it.

For heavy drainage and soft trench bottoms, #4 Crushed Stone or RipRap holds up better. Screenings and other fines-bearing material do not belong in a drain, because the fines stop the flow.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with room for a dump truck to back in and tip the load. The driver tips the material in one pile, so mark the spot you want it left.

Keep gates open and low limbs and wires clear of the truck. Order your quantity by the ton or yard ahead of time so the load matches the job.
