Bulk Material Delivery in Combs, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Combs, AR, with SB-2 base as the standard material for drives, parking pads and building pads. SB-2 is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

On the steep ground around Combs, water arriving from uphill does more damage than the rain that falls on a drive. Rock benches, ledges and loose colluvium on the slopes send runoff down fast.

Materials for Combs Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slopes, swales and banks here. A rounded or angular stone with size to it holds a bank, checks a ditch and slows water before it reaches a drive.

Riprap

RipRap armors banks and slopes on creeks and lake edges, culvert outlets and ditch checks. Broken sandstone, limestone or syenite gives it the weight to stay put on a steep bank.

#4 Crushed Stone and Railroad Ballast

#4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms, and stabilizes soft ground. Railroad Ballast suits track beds, heavy hard standing and severe drainage where a large angular stone is wanted.

#57 Limestone and 3/4 Inch Clean Limestone

#57 Limestone goes into French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate. 3/4" Crushed Stone is a washed stone with no fines for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

SB-2 and Class 7 Base

SB-2 Base is the compacted base under a driveway or pad. Cities and engineers write the same material into street and parking standards as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Driveway Gravel and Screenings

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county-road property. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints for a tight walking surface.

Ground and Conditions in Combs

Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock, so slopes stay wet and slick while the sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow. Ridge soils are thin, and only the foot of a slope carries any depth.

That is why a compacted base matters more than surface stone on a hollow drive. SB-2 base with the fines left in binds and holds where a clean washed stone would not.

Slope length and gradient drive the erosion here. Runoff on steep hollow drives cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the working limits. Grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall, once the slopes have dried out.

Shaded north-facing slopes and drives stay frozen hours longer than the valleys below, and ice storms add to it. No statewide frost depth is published; the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line, so ask the Madison County building official for the local number.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Combs

What stone should I use for drainage in Combs?

Use a washed, open-graded stone that lets water move. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and Drain Rock is sold for the same jobs.

On a steep slope, riprap or #4 Crushed Stone armors the bank or ditch above the drive instead.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, firm spot the truck can reach and enough room for the pile. The driver tips the load in one pile on site, so the place you choose is where the material stays.

Have your order details ready and keep the approach open for a loaded truck.
