Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Calico Rock, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Calico Rock, AR to driveways, pads and building sites. Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year here, with a wet spring and winter cold snaps as the interruptions.

SB-2 base is the Arkansas base material for a drive or a pad. The late-summer dry spell is the easiest window to get real compaction.

Materials for Calico Rock Projects

SB-2 base is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. Those fines let it lock up under a roller, which is why it carries a driveway, a parking pad or a shed pad.

Class 7 base is the same material under the name Arkansas cities and engineers write into street, sidewalk and parking standards. Reach for that name when you are working to a written spec.

Driveway surfacing is its own job. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on a rural or county-road property.

Screenings, also called limestone fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. A walkway wants a finer, walkable surface than a drive does, and Walkway Gravel is sized for that.

#57 limestone is the washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate. 3/4 inch clean limestone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where no fines are wanted.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pools. Mason sand goes into brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Topsoil and garden soil handle lawns, grading and raised beds. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Ground and Conditions in Calico Rock

In this part of the state, water leaves through the rock rather than across it. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams take runoff underground fast.

The residual clay filling the joints holds water at the surface after a long rain. That is the reason a proper base depth matters more here than frost does.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks. Rip rap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks where a rounded stone will not hold.

Freezes come in runs from December into February. Shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring, and ice storms are a bigger nuisance than deep frost.
