Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Clinton, AR

Winter ice and mud set the limits on steep drives around Clinton, and grading goes best from late spring through fall once the slopes have dried. Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Clinton, AR by the ton, led by SB-2 base.

This is stony, acid silt loam and clay over flat-lying sandstone and shale, so what you put on the ground has to shed water and hold up under a load.

Materials for Clinton Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first here. SB-2 base, also written SB2 or base stone, is the standard Arkansas material: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.

Use SB-2 Base for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. When you are working to a written standard, the same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course.

A compacted base still needs water to leave it. Clean washed stone does that work, and the numbered sizes are normal here.

• #57 Limestone, also called clean rock, for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and a clean top over a compacted base.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where no fines are wanted.
• Screenings, the local name for crusher fines, for paver, flagstone and brick bedding, joint filling and a tight walking surface.
• RipRap for slope and bank armoring, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Below the stone, sand and soil do the finishing work. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand handles brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

Top Soil, screened, covers lawns and bed prep, and Fill Dirt raises low ground so a base course has something to sit on. For decorative beds, Arkansas River Rock and Large River Rock build dry creek beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Clinton

Start with where the water goes. In this part of the state, shale beds perch water above the rock while the sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow.

On a steep drive that means you are taking water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on your own ground. Slope length and gradient then do the rest of the damage.

Runoff on steep drives cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain. That is why a fines-bearing base like SB-2 belongs under a drive and a clean washed stone like #57 limestone belongs in the drainage behind it.

Frost varies by slope, and no statewide depth figure applies. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground, so ask the county or city building official for the local number.

Delivery to Clinton and the Surrounding Area

Order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load yourself.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile, so have the drop area clear and reachable before the truck arrives. Bulk delivery covers Clinton and Van Buren County, including Fairfield Bay, Dennard, Shirley, Bee Branch and Scotland.

On a sloped property, put some thought into where the pile lands. Material dropped where you want to work saves moving it twice by hand.
