Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Altheimer, AR

If you are grading a yard, building up a low spot, or bedding a new garden, gravel and aggregate delivery in Altheimer, AR starts with the right material. Arkansas Rock Supply delivers bulk loads to Jefferson County properties.

SB-2 base handles the compacted work under a drive or shed pad. Topsoil and fill handle the grading and bed prep that come first.

Materials for Altheimer Projects

Grading and bed prep come before anything hard goes down. That work starts with soil and fill, then moves to the compacted and washed materials underneath.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Top Soil is screened and spread for lawns, grading and bed prep. On Delta clay it gives roots something loose to start in.

Garden Soil is blended for raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas. It holds moisture through a dry Arkansas summer.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on. Shredded Mulch covers beds and tree rings and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Base and Driveway Materials

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 goes under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

When a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. Crusher Run is the finer dense-graded option for drives and pads.

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

Washed Stone

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size, used for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate. 3/4" Crushed Stone is a washed stone with no fines for drainage beds and construction entrances.

Drain Rock runs French drains, dry wells and downspout runs. RipRap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Sand and Decorative Stone

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools. Mason Sand is for brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and leave a tight walking surface. Arkansas River Rock fills decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Altheimer

Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. It is the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for.

The real driver is water. The ground is flat, the water table sits high, and this clay barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls, and field ditches and bayous drain slowly.

That changes what a base has to do. A fines-bearing material like SB-2 base locks up and sheds water when it is compacted, which is why it goes under a drive or pad instead of soil.

Where water has to move, washed stone with no fines does the work. #57 limestone and 3/4 inch clean limestone let it through instead of holding it.

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

Winters are short and mild, and frost is shallow. Saturated clay is the winter problem: a loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved at all.
