Crittenden County, AR Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery
Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Crittenden County, AR for driveways, pads, drainage runs and beds. If you are building a drive or setting a shed pad, SB-2 base is the material you want at the bottom of it.
The ground here is Delta ground: heavy clay and silty clay that holds water after a rain and moves slowly. What you put on top of that clay decides how the job holds up.
Ground Conditions Across Crittenden County
Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, rain stands where it falls. The clay barely takes water, field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water on low ground for days.
That changes how you build. A drive or pad on this ground needs a base that sheds water and holds its shape instead of pumping clay up through it.
Sheet erosion off bare ground, ditch and bayou bank sloughing, and river bank caving are the erosion patterns on this side of the state. Rip rap armors banks, slope edges and culvert outlets where moving water is cutting.
Work runs all year here. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.
Winters are short and mild and frost is shallow, so a loaded truck will rut a wet clay drive deeply with no frost involved at all. Wet ground, not frost, is the reason to build a proper base depth.
Materials Delivered in Crittenden County
Material arrives by the ton or by the yard. Here is what each one does on Delta ground.
SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it binds and compacts instead of staying loose.
Class 7 is the 1 1/2 inch dense grading that quarries and yards across the state sell 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, so use that name when you are working to a written spec. Section 302 covers select material used as a foundation course underneath.
For drives and pads where a finer dense-graded material is wanted, Crusher Run is the tighter option. Arkansas usually reaches for SB-2 first.
Delivery Across Crittenden County
You order online and a dump truck tips the load on site. Choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and check the product page calculator if you are unsure how much to order.
Have the drop spot clear and reachable for a truck before the load arrives. Bulk material comes off the bed in one pile, so pick a spot that works for how you plan to move it.

Choosing the Right Material
Mississippi County sits on the same Mississippi Alluvial Plain ground as Crittenden County, the deep alluvial silt loam and heavy clay laid down by the rivers. The base and drainage choices carry over without much change.
Poinsett County and St. Francis County each span more than one ground region, taking in both the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and Crowley's Ridge.
That ridge ground is a different material story from the Delta clay.
On Delta clay, a compacted base course that binds is what a drive or pad needs, with a washed stone layer where water has to move. On ridge ground, the same materials behave differently because the subgrade does.
Match the material to what is under it. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.
