Landscaping Material Delivered in Bentonville, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Bentonville, AR to your driveway, garden or jobsite. This part of the Ozark Plateaus sits on cherty clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with rock close to the surface on side slopes.

That shallow, cherty ground is why a driveway or pad starts with SB-2 base. The dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus stone locks up under a roller because the fines stay in the mix.

Delivery to Bentonville and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips your load on site in one pile.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you buy. Bentonville sits in Benton County, and deliveries also reach Rogers, Bella Vista, Centerton, Siloam Springs and Lowell.

Bulk loads are heavy, so give the truck room to reach the drop point. Once the pile is down, you move it from there with your own equipment.

Materials for Bentonville Projects

This is decorative country, and the rock you see in local beds and borders is often the same stone that gets buried under a drive. Buyers here weigh how a material looks against what it does.

For beds, tree rings and ground cover, Arkansas River Rock is the rounded, washed stone many yards call river gravel or creek gravel. It sits well around shrubs and holds its color.

Where you want a dry creek bed that reads as a real drainage line, Large River Rock gives you a heavier, rounded stone for the channel. Pair it with smaller rock up the sides.

Walkways, dog runs and play areas take a smaller, softer surface. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel comes washed and rounded, usually in brown or beige.

Under pavers, flagstone and brick, the bedding and joint fill is Screenings, which the trade also calls limestone fines or crusher fines. It packs to a tight walking surface.

Every one of these sits on a compacted base when the project calls for structure. That base is SB-2 base, known as Class 7 base when a written Arkansas street or parking standard names it.

Ground and Conditions in Bentonville

The ground here is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, and chert gravel runs right through the profile. On side slopes, rock or rubble sits close to the surface.

This is karst country. Water leaves through the rock rather than across it, so sinkholes, springs and losing streams move runoff underground fast.

The residual clay in the joints still holds water at the surface after a long rain.

That combination is why an under-built base shows up fast. Soft clay under a thin stone layer pumps and ruts, while the chert and shallow rock leave little room to cut down.

Across the Ozark Plateaus, heavy spring rain scours drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks. Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams carry that water quickly, so surface drainage matters as much as the stone you lay.

Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring are the interruptions, and the late-summer dry spell is the easiest time to get real compaction.

Freeze-thaw can lift loose gravel before spring.

No statewide frost figure is published. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground, so confirm the Benton County figure before footings go in.
