Every great driveway and building slab starts with master dirt work. A & P Concrete Construction provides full land clearing, precision excavator grading, drainage ditching, culvert installation, crushed SB2 aggregate base compaction, and durable gravel driveway construction across rural and residential Central Arkansas.
Professional site preparation transforms raw, uneven Arkansas terrain into a stable, well-drained building pad or private roadway: (1) Clearing trees, brush, and root systems with heavy excavators; (2) Laser grading subgrade soil with positive slope and drainage swales to prevent standing water; (3) Installing heavy-duty corrugated culvert pipes at driveway entrances; (4) Laying woven geotextile fabric to prevent gravel from sinking into subgrade mud; and (5) Spreading and vibratory-compacting 4 to 8 inches of crushed SB2 aggregate that interlocks into an unyielding, rut-resistant driving surface.
Spreading and heavy mechanical rolling of Class 7 SB2 limestone aggregate for long rural drives, shop access roads, and farm lanes.
Excavating hillsides, importing red fill dirt, and laser-grading 4" to 6" gravel pads engineered ready for concrete slab footings.
Setting steel or heavy HDPE culverts, digging ditch swales, and routing stormwater safely around driveways and building pads.
Excavator root extraction, clearing overgrown underbrush, rock hammering, and hauling off debris for new construction access.
Laser grading and dirt excavation ensuring positive drainage pitch away from building structures.
Dense, locked-in aggregate driving surface that handles heavy dump trucks and delivery traffic.

For a durable gravel driveway over raw dirt, we recommend a minimum of 4 to 6 inches of compacted SB2 gravel over woven geotextile ground stabilization fabric. On heavy clay or logging roads, an 8-inch aggregate base ensures trucks will never sink.
We crown the center of the driveway slightly (1/2 inch per foot slope) so water sheds off to the sides rather than channeling down the middle, and we excavate side ditches and install correctly-sized culverts to route storm runoff away.
Yes! Having one contractor handle both the site preparation/grading and the concrete slab pour saves you money, eliminates coordination headaches, and ensures the subgrade is compacted to the highest structural standards.
