Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Blevins, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Blevins, AR to contractors and homeowners working on the same ground. Some orders are a drive rebuild, others a garden bed or a building pad.

Most start with SB-2 base, the dense graded crushed stone this part of Arkansas builds on.

This page covers grading and bed prep materials first, then how the local ground behaves, then how a bulk load reaches your site.

Materials for Blevins Projects

Grading and bed prep come before anything hard goes down. That work starts with soil, and it is where a lot of Blevins projects get their shape.

Get the grade and the fill right and the base course, the stone and the sand all sit on something that holds.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Top Soil is screened and used for lawns, grading and bed prep. It goes over cherty upland soil or heavy clay where the existing ground is too thin or too tight to plant into.

Garden Soil is a planting mix for raised beds, vegetable gardens and bed areas. It holds moisture and gives roots something looser than the native sandy clay.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on. On flat ground with a high water table, that lift matters more than the surface material.

Shredded Mulch goes on beds and tree rings. It holds moisture through summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Base and Driveway Material

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 builds driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

Engineers and city standards often call the same material Class 7 base, which is the name to use when you are working to a written spec.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county road properties. Walkway Gravel gives garden paths and side yards a finer, walkable surface than a drive needs.

Washed Stone and Sand

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size here. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete, and makes a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is a washed stone with no fines, used in drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing. Screenings, also called limestone fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and leave a tight walking surface.

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

Decorative Stone

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage. Arkansas River Rock is the rounded creek gravel used in decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads.

Ground and Conditions in Blevins

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, the ground is deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel, clay, chalk and marl. Sandy pine uplands cover most of it, with heavy dark prairie clay on the chalk and marl belt.

That profile decides where water goes. Sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil, so rain soaks in, perches and then runs sideways.

Flat ground and slow bayous keep the water table high for days after heavy rain.

For a drive or a pad, that means the weak point is the clay below, not the stone on top. Fill Dirt lifts a pad out of the wet before SB-2 Base goes down, and the base itself locks up because the fines are still in it.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, so drainage stone and rip rap at outlets earn their place.

RipRap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

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

Freezes are short and shallow, and an ice storm matters far more than frost depth ever will.

Questions About Ordering in Blevins

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Blevins?

Yes. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and you choose the amount when you place the order online.

Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load. Then you pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on site.

What stone should I use for drainage in Blevins?

It depends on the job. #57 Limestone and 3/4" Crushed Stone are washed sizes with no fines, which is what a French drain, foundation drain or downspout run needs.

RipRap handles bank and culvert outlet work. With sandy soil over dense clay here, water perches and moves sideways, so the drainage layer has to stay open.
