Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Carlisle, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Carlisle, AR for two kinds of buyers: contractors working a schedule and homeowners building a drive, a pad or a bed. Both end up weighing the same choices.

SB-2 base anchors most of that work here. It is the dense graded crushed stone Arkansas crews name by habit, and it locks up under a roller on ground as heavy as the clay around Carlisle.

Materials for Carlisle Projects

Start with the base course. SB-2 Base is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under a roller.

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

When a job is written to a standard rather than a habit, that same material shows up as Class 7 base, the name cities and engineers put in street, sidewalk and parking specs. Crusher run is the finer dense graded option for drives and pads where a tighter surface is wanted.

Over a compacted base you want washed stone with no fines. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size: French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and a clean top course.

3/4" Crushed Stone does the same work in a slightly smaller size, and it holds up as a construction entrance or a drive surface.

For a walking surface, Screenings is the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines. It beds pavers, flagstone and brick, fills joints and packs into a tight path.

Walkway Gravel is the other route for garden paths and side yards.

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

Top Soil covers lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

For decorative work, Arkansas River Rock and Large River Rock build dry creek beds, borders and splash pads, and RipRap armors banks, slopes and culvert outlets. Shredded Mulch handles beds and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Carlisle

Carlisle sits in Lonoke County on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. Flat land, a high water table and clay that barely takes water is the combination you plan around.

Rain stands where it falls. Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water in place for days after a storm.

On a driveway or a building pad, that water has to leave through the material, not sit on top of it.

Because the clay stays wet through a short, mild winter, a loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved. That is the Arkansas reason a proper base course matters, and it is why SB-2 base with its fines left in compacts into a surface that sheds water instead of sponging it up.

Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint on scheduling. The midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work, when the subgrade is firm enough to take a load and stay put.
