Washed Sand Delivery for Clarendon, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Clarendon, AR to builders working on Delta ground. The soil here is deep alluvial silt loam and heavy clay, so a pad that looks level in August can pump and rut by February.

SB-2 base is the material that carries a drive or a building pad once the grade is up.

Order online by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Delivery to Clarendon and the Surrounding Area

Ordering is handled online. You pick the material, set a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

Bulk delivery covers Clarendon and the rest of Monroe County, including Brinkley, Holly Grove and Roe. A dump truck tips the material in one pile at the address you give.

Plan for a spot the truck can reach and a pile that will not block the work.

Wet ground is worth thinking about before the truck rolls. Saturated Delta clay ruts deeply under a loaded axle, so a dry stretch of the calendar makes delivery and placement easier on everyone.

Materials for Clarendon Projects

Raising grade is the first job on most lots here, and it decides what the rest of the build sits on. Fill dirt builds a pad up out of the wet before anything else goes down.

It is bulk fill for low ground, and it goes in before a base course.

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

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

For a driveway, top the compacted base with driveway gravel or a washed stone such as 3/4" Crushed Stone. For a patio or a walkway, screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints tight.

For a drain, #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse for French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding. Washed Sand handles bedding and leveling under slabs, and Top Soil finishes lawns and beds after the grade is right.

Ground and Conditions in Clarendon

Clarendon sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is flat and the water table runs high. The clay takes water slowly, so rain stands where it falls and field ditches and bayous drain slowly.

Backwater can hold water for days.

That combination is why an under-built base fails here. Water that cannot get down through the clay sits on top of it and works at whatever is above.

A base that was not raised far enough or drained properly will move, and the surface above it will follow.

Erosion is the other half of the problem. Bare cropland silt sheets off in a storm, ditch and bayou banks slough, and river banks cave.

Rip rap armors banks, slopes and culvert outlets where moving water is the issue.

Work runs all year here. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Frost is shallow across the Delta, so saturated clay, not frost, is the winter problem.

Questions from Clarendon Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Clarendon?

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base for a paver build. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm platform.

Bed the pavers themselves in screenings, which is the local name for crusher fines. Screenings give a tight, level surface and fill the joints between units.
