3/4 Inch Clean Limestone and Bulk Aggregates for Compton, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Compton, AR, and the ground here shapes what you order. Across the Boston Mountains, stony silt loam and clay sit over flat-lying sandstone and shale, so ridge tops stay thin and only the foot of a slope carries real depth.

That is why SB-2 base, the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, is the starting point for a drive or a pad. It locks up under a roller and gives you something to build on.

Materials for Compton Projects

Washed stone is where a lot of Ozark drainage work begins. Shale beds perch water above the rock, so slopes stay wet and slick long after a rain, and the sandstone above sheds water straight down the hollow.

French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need a clean, open stone that lets water move instead of trapping it. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size for that job, and it also works as a clean top over a compacted base.

One size down, #67 Stone handles drainage and concrete work. 3/4" Crushed Stone is a washed stone with no fines, used in drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

For heavier water, #4 Crushed Stone stabilizes soft ground and trench bottoms. Drain Rock, often called filter rock here, suits dry wells and foundation drains.

Where a base has to bind and compact, SB-2 Base is the material to reach for. Cities and engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base, so it is the name to use when you are working to a written spec.

Finer work calls for finer material. Screenings, the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pools.

For lawns and beds, Top Soil and Garden Soil cover grading and planting, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Ground and Conditions in Compton

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

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

A steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it.

That is the argument for a proper base course rather than a thin top dressing.

Frost is a real factor too: shaded north-facing slopes and drives stay frozen hours longer than the valleys below, and the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line, with exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground. Ask the county or city building official for the local number.
