Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Colt, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Colt, AR to homeowners, farms and crews working on the Crowley's Ridge side of St. Francis County.

The ground here is loess, a deep wind-blown silt that drains well but slumps and gullies once it is left bare. That makes base depth the first decision on any drive or pad, and SB-2 base the material that answers it.

Delivery to Colt and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick 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.

A dump truck then tips the material on your site in one pile.

Colt sits in St. Francis County, and delivery reaches the surrounding communities, including Forrest City, Hughes, Palestine, Wheatley and Widener.

Rural properties and county-road addresses are part of the normal run.

Materials for Colt Projects

The decorative side of a Colt yard is where a lot of the planning goes. Beds, borders and dry creek beds all want a rounded stone that moves water and holds a shape without locking up like a crushed product.

Arkansas River Rock is the standard choice for decorative beds and dry creek beds. It is rounded and washed out of river deposits, so it reads as a natural creek bottom rather than a pile of crushed rock.

Large River Rock handles heavier decorative work, dry creek beds that carry more flow, and light bank protection where a rounded stone is wanted.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage. Arkansas yards usually get it in brown or beige.

For ground cover that stays put, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through an Arkansas summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Under all of it, SB-2 Base is the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller. Engineers and cities write the same material into street and parking standards as Class 7 base.

Ground and Conditions in Colt

Crowley's Ridge stands 250 to 500 feet above the Delta floor on either side, and the soil that covers it is deep wind-blown loess, up to about 50 feet of it, over Tertiary sand, gravel and clay. The loess is fertile and well drained, and it cuts cleanly.

It also slumps and gullies wherever it is left bare.

Unlike the flat ground either side, water runs off the ridge. Loess takes rain readily until it saturates, then sheds it down steep road cuts and hollows onto the plain below.

That is why ridge towns armor cuts, ditches and outlets.

For a driveway or pad, that means the base course is doing the work. SB-2 base is dense graded and compacts into a surface that sheds water instead of pumping it.

A clean washed stone like #57 Limestone belongs in a drain or a drainage bed, not under a drive, because it has no fines to bind.

Work runs all year here, with winter and spring rain the limit. A freshly cut loess slope wants armoring or planting before the next heavy rain rather than after it.
