Rip Rap, Stone and Soil Delivery in De Valls Bluff, AR

Rain on flat Delta ground has nowhere to go. Clay takes it slowly, ditches run slow, and banks slough when water stands against them.

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in De Valls Bluff, AR, and coarse stone is the first answer for slope, swale and bank work.

SB-2 base handles the pads and drives that go on top of that ground. Rip rap and #57 limestone handle the water.

Materials for De Valls Bluff Projects

Start coarse. Rip rap is broken sandstone, limestone or syenite, and it armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks where moving water is the problem.

Large river rock does lighter bank protection and dry creek beds with a rounded stone.

#57 limestone is a washed stone with no fines. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4 inch clean limestone does drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where a washed stone is wanted.

Then the base work. SB-2 base is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. Cities and engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base.

Crusher run is the finer dense-graded option where a tighter material that binds is wanted.

Finer material finishes the job. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and give a tight walking surface.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pools. Topsoil and garden soil rebuild what the grading took off, and shredded mulch holds moisture in beds and keeps bare soil from washing.

Ground and Conditions in De Valls Bluff

Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, with sandier ridges and older terraces mixed in. It is flat, the water table is high, and the clay barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls.

That shapes what you put down. Wet ground, not frost, is the winter problem here.

A loaded truck ruts a drive deeply through a Delta winter with no frost involved at all, so a drive or pad needs a base that carries weight rather than a shallow layer over soft clay.

Work runs all year. 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.

Schedule the base and the drainage stone together so water has somewhere to go before the surface goes down.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in De Valls Bluff

What stone should I use for drainage in De Valls Bluff?

Match the stone to the water. #57 limestone is a washed stone for French drains, foundation drains and pipe runs, and 3/4 inch clean limestone works for drainage beds and construction entrances.

For banks, swales and ditch work where water moves fast, rip rap armors the slope and holds it. Screenings and sand are bedding materials, not drainage stone.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear path to the site and a firm, level spot for the truck to tip. The load comes off in one pile, so decide where that pile goes before the truck gets there.

Have your quantity settled and your delivery date picked at checkout, and keep the area around the pile clear so you can move material after it lands.
