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

Both work, and the choice is yours at checkout. Order by the ton when you are working from a weight figure, and by the yard when you are working from volume. Each product page has a calculator to size the load. Use it to settle the quantity before you place the order.

Which stone is best for drainage in Cleveland County?

Water here soaks into sandy topsoil, perches on denser subsoil and runs sideways, so clean washed stone is what carries it. #57 limestone and 3/4 inch clean limestone are washed sizes with no fines, which suits French drains, foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage beds. Screenings and crusher run are for bedding and compaction, not for moving water.

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

Choose a drop point the truck can reach and that is clear of overhead wires and parked vehicles. The load lands in one pile, so leave room around it. Order by the ton or yard, size the load with the calculator, and pick your delivery date at checkout. Have the area ready before the truck arrives.

Gravel, Soil and Stone for Cleveland County, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Cleveland County, AR. Work here runs all year, and winter and spring rain on sandy clay is what sets the pace.

A long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft, so time a load around the weather rather than against it.

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

That is the base for drives, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

Ground Conditions Across Cleveland County

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, deep acid sandy loam and sandy clay sit over unconsolidated sand, gravel, clay, chalk and marl. Water soaks through the sandy top, hits denser subsoil, perches, then runs sideways.

Flat ground holds that water for days after heavy rain.

That sideways movement is where a thin base fails. A shallow layer of stone rides on soft ground instead of bridging it, and the edges break down first.

The fix is a compacted base that spreads the load into the subgrade.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, so slope protection and clean drainage stone matter as much as the surface.

Freezes here are short and shallow, and an ice storm matters more than frost depth ever will. No frost figure was researched for Cleveland County.

Wet ground, not frost, is the reason a proper base depth pays off.

Materials Delivered in Cleveland County

SB-2 base is the Arkansas name for a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone.

Class 7 is the 1 1/2 inch dense grading sold as SB-2, and Class 8 is the 1 inch version. Cities and counties write Class 7 into their own street, sidewalk and parking standards.

Order SB-2 Base for driveways, parking pads, building pads and pipe bedding. Order it when a written spec calls for Class 7 base.

Use Crusher Run where a finer dense graded material that binds and compacts is wanted, or Class 8 base in the tighter 1 inch minus size.

Choosing the Right Material

Jefferson County and Lincoln County sit on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. That ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, the buckshot and gumbo the Delta is known for.

Cleveland County ground is sandy loam and sandy clay over sand, gravel, clay, chalk and marl, so water behaves differently in each.

On Delta clay, water sits on top and drains slowly. There, a clean washed stone such as #57 limestone carries water away and a compacted base keeps a drive out of the muck.

On the sandy coastal plain ground here, water perches on denser subsoil and runs sideways.

Grant County shares the West Gulf Coastal Plain ground with Cleveland County, so the soil and drainage picture is the same. The base and drainage choices carry over without change.
