Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both work, and the choice comes down to how you want to measure. Tons are a weight, and yards are a volume. Dense graded base, washed stone, sand and soil are all sold either way. Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load in whichever unit suits your project and order it online.

Which stone is best for drainage in Calhoun County?

Washed stone with no fines is what drainage needs, because water passes through it instead of perching. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage. Drain Rock covers dry wells and downspout runs, and #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

What do I need to have ready for a bulk delivery?

A clear delivery point that a dump truck can reach, and room for the pile to sit where it will not block anything. The truck tips the load in one pile, so the spot you choose is where the material stays. Pick your date at checkout and the load arrives on it.

Calhoun County SB-2 Base and Gravel Delivery, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Calhoun County, AR. Work here runs all year, and the limit is rain on sandy clay rather than cold.

A long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft, so timing a load matters as much as the material itself.

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material. It is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Order it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

Materials Delivered in Calhoun County

SB-2 base, also written SB2 or base stone, is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone.

Class 7 is the 1 1/2 inch dense grading that quarries and yards across the state sell as SB-2.

When you are working to a written standard, cities and counties write Class 7 into their own street, sidewalk and parking standards. Section 302 covers select material used as a foundation course underneath.

Class 8 is the 1 inch minus version of the same dense graded base, sold alongside Class 7 for the same uses in a tighter size.

Sand, soil and mulch round out a load. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

Garden Soil fills raised beds, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Choosing the Right Material

Union County, Ouachita County and Bradley County all sit on the same ground region as Calhoun County, the West Gulf Coastal Plain. Deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel, clay, chalk and marl, with sandy pine uplands over most of it.

The ground is the same, so the base and drainage choices are the same.

Pick by what the surface has to do. A drive or a pad needs a dense graded material that compacts and binds, which is what SB-2 base is for.

A drain, a dry well or a downspout run needs washed stone with no fines, so water passes instead of perching. Bedding under pavers or flagstone needs fines, which is the job screenings do.

Decorative work is its own choice. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs, and Large River Rock handles dry creek beds and heavier decorative work where a rounded stone is wanted.

RipRap is the angular option for bank and slope armoring, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Ground Conditions Across Calhoun County

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil. Water soaks in, perches on the clay and then runs sideways.

Flat ground and slow bayous keep the water table high for days after heavy rain, so a base course over wet ground is where a thin layer shows its weakness first.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall, and thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets. That is the case for a proper base depth and a drainage layer rather than a thin top dressing.

On slopes and at outlets, angular stone such as rip rap holds where rounded stone will not.

Timing matters too. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the real limit on the working season, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.

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