Landscaping Material Delivered in Bauxite, AR

Runoff off the Ouachita foothills concentrates where the slope flattens out across the Central Arkansas fall line. That water has to go somewhere, and bare clay lots around Bauxite shed it fast.

Arkansas Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Bauxite, AR, including SB-2 base for the pads and drives that hold up under it.

Order online, pick a quantity, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Delivery to Bauxite and the Surrounding Area

Ordering runs through the site. Choose your material, set the quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

Each product page has a calculator if you are unsure how much to set.

Bauxite sits in Saline County, and delivery covers the towns around it, including Benton, Bryant, Alexander, Traskwood and Mabelvale. A dump truck tips the load in one pile at the address you give.

Plan where that pile lands before the truck arrives. Bulk loads are heavy, and soft ground after a rain will not hold a truck any better than it holds a driveway.

Materials for Bauxite Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of yards here start, and the material has to handle water at the same time. Rounded stone moves it; angular stone holds it back.

Arkansas River Rock, also called river gravel or creek gravel, covers decorative beds, borders and splash pads. Large River Rock goes into dry creek beds and heavier decorative work, where a bigger rounded stone is wanted.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage. Arkansas yards usually get it in brown or beige, washed out of river gravel deposits.

Under the pretty stone you still need a 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.

Cities and engineers write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base.

For drainage, #57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate. Screenings, the local name for crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

Ground and Conditions in Bauxite

Ground across the Central Arkansas fall line is mixed. Gravelly rocky clay loam and syenite outcrops sit on one side, sandy and clayey coastal-plain soils on another, and deep river silt and clay further out.

What matters for a build is the clay. Tight clay subsoils and flat terraces hold water, and an under-built base on that ground pumps and ruts the first wet winter.

Wet clay subgrade softens badly under traffic, which is the real winter problem here rather than frost.

Runoff coming off the foothills concentrates where the slope flattens out, and newly cut lots leave bare clay slopes that scour fast. That is why dry creek beds and drainage stone earn their place in a Bauxite yard.

Work runs all year. Winter rain on clay and midsummer heat set the limits, not frozen ground.
