Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Bonnerdale, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Bonnerdale, AR, and the ground here sets the job. Stony, gravelly loam over sandstone, shale and chert runs through the Ouachita Mountains, with rock fragments all through the profile.

That means an under-built base shows up fast, and SB-2 base is the local answer. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in.

Materials for Bonnerdale Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of Bonnerdale ground gets finished, so start with what the surface should look like. River gravel, also called creek gravel, is rounded and washed out of river deposits, and it suits decorative beds, borders and splash pads.

Large river rock takes the heavier decorative work, dry creek beds and light bank protection where a rounded stone is wanted. Natural Pea Gravel, the 3/8 inch size, is a walkable surface for paths, play areas and dog runs.

For ground cover under beds and tree rings, shredded mulch holds moisture and keeps bare soil from washing in a storm. Screened topsoil goes under lawns and bed prep over this cherty upland ground.

Then the structural side. SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material for driveways, parking pads and building pads, and Class 7 base is the same material under the name cities and engineers write into their standards.

Where a washed stone with no fines is wanted, #57 limestone handles French drains, foundation drainage and pipe bedding. Screenings, the local name for crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints.

Ground and Conditions in Bonnerdale

The Ouachita Mountains ground is stony, gravelly loam over folded sandstone, shale, chert and novaculite. Shallow soils sit on the long east-west ridges and deeper, more workable ground sits in the valleys between them.

Tilted shale and chert beds shed water off the ridges quickly and funnel it into narrow valleys. A drive or pad here takes concentrated flow arriving from above, not just the rain that lands on it.

That is why an under-built base fails. Water arriving from uphill works into a thin layer and the surfacing moves, so base depth matters more than the surface stone you pick.

Ridge runoff and flashy streams are the erosion driver, and steep drive cuts lose surfacing after a big storm. Work runs year round, with winter ice and a wet spring as the limits.

Once this rocky ground drains it compacts well and holds.

North-facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet, which is when a gravel drive ruts most easily. No statewide frost figure is published; the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line.
