Buy #57 Limestone in Banks, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Banks, AR for two kinds of buyers: contractors building to a written spec and homeowners fixing a drive or a yard. Both usually start with SB-2 base.

Banks sits in Bradley County on sandy ground over clay, so what happens to water after a storm shapes what you should order.

Materials for Banks Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most Banks projects begin, and SB-2 base is the material that carries them. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller and holds a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad.

When a job has to meet a written standard, that same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. Ask for it by whichever name appears in your plans.

SB-2 Base covers drives, pads and pipe bedding.

On top of a compacted base, a washed stone keeps the surface clean and lets water through. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation drainage and concrete aggregate, and 3/4" Crushed Stone does the same work where a slightly smaller clean stone fits better.

For a finished walking surface, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and they fill the joints between them. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on a county-road property.

Sand and soil round out a site. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, while Top Soil rebuilds a lawn or preps a bed over the local sandy loam.

Ground and Conditions in Banks

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, the ground is sandy loam and sandy clay sitting over unconsolidated sand, gravel and clay. Water soaks into the sandy top layer, hits the denser subsoil and then moves sideways instead of draining away.

Flat ground and slow bayous keep the water table high for days after heavy rain. A drive or pad built without enough base depth will pump and rut while that water works its way out.

Bare sand also cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, which is why a clean washed stone at the outlet does more for you than piling on more fill.

Work runs all year here, and freezes are short and shallow. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the real limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.
