Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Barling, AR

Timing a load of gravel and aggregate delivery in Barling, AR usually comes down to the weather. Work runs nearly all year in the Arkansas River Valley.

A wet late winter and spring is the real limit, and summer heat can dry a surface before it can be rolled. Arkansas Rock Supply delivers SB-2 base and the rest of the bulk materials by the ton.

Materials for Barling Projects

Start with the base. SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material: 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 and building pads and pipe bedding. The same material is written into Arkansas street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base.

Use that name when you are working to a written spec on a Fort Smith or Sebastian County job. Both names point to the same product, SB-2 Base.

On top of a compacted base, the washed stone does the drainage and finish work. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size in Arkansas.

It handles French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and a clean top over a compacted base. 3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where no fines are wanted.

For a walkable surface or a bed for pavers, Screenings are the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines. They bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and give a tight walking surface.

Sand and soil round out a site. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools.

Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and most Arkansas buyers want it screened.

Ground and Conditions in Barling

Water is what decides how a base performs here. The Arkansas River Valley bottomland is flat, with a high water table near the river and clay subsoils that let go of water slowly.

Backwater after heavy rain upstream can leave ground wet for a while. That matters more than cold does.

Frost action is shallow in this part of the state, but wet clay subgrade still softens and pumps under traffic all winter.

That is the Arkansas reason for a proper base depth. Get the ground and drainage right before a base course goes down.

The uplands between the bottoms are shale and sandstone, so ground can change over a short distance.

Bare valley clay also sheets off in spring thunderstorms, and banks scour where water moves fast along the river and its lakes. Riprap armors slopes and culvert outlets, while #57 limestone and 3/4 inch clean stone move water away from a foundation.

Screenings and washed sand are not drainage materials, so keep them out of a wet subgrade. Plan around a wet late winter and spring, and roll a surface before summer heat dries it.
