Materials for Deer Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work on these slopes. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all want clean, open stone with no fines to hold water back.

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size here. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same idea in a slightly smaller stone. Use it for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where you want no fines at all.

Drain Rock covers drywells and downspout runs, and Arkansas yards often call it filter rock. #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage and trench bottoms where a larger angular stone is wanted.

Under all of that, SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas base: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller. Cities and engineers write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base.

At the fine end, Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints. Arkansas River Rock and Large River Rock work dry creek beds and borders.

Delivery to Deer and the Surrounding Area

Ordering runs online. Pick your material, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at your site.

Deer sits in Newton County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Jasper, Western Grove, Ponca, Mount Judea and Compton. If you are working a job in any of those, the same ordering process applies.

Bulk loads are heavy, so it helps to have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. The driver tips the pile where the truck can reach it and moves on.

Ground and Conditions in Deer

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

That is why drainage stone comes before surfacing on a lot of work here. Slope length and gradient drive the erosion: runoff on a steep hollow drive cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

Timing matters too. 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.

Cold here by Arkansas standards, with ice storms and repeated freeze-thaw on shaded north-facing slopes and drives that stay frozen hours longer than the valleys below. No statewide frost depth is published; the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.

Shaded mountain slopes hold frost longest, so ask the county or city building official for the local number.

Questions About Gravel in Deer

Do you deliver SB-2 base to Deer, AR?

Yes. Arkansas Rock Supply delivers SB-2 base to Deer and the surrounding Newton County area, including Jasper, Western Grove, Ponca, Mount Judea and Compton.

Order online, choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. SB-2 base is the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it is the base material most Arkansas drives and pads are built on.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Deer?

Start with SB-2 base. It is the standard Arkansas base material, a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.

On a steep Boston Mountains drive, water arriving from uphill is the real problem, so pair the base with a clean washed stone such as #57 Limestone for drainage along the edge. For a lighter top surface, 3/4" Crushed Stone works well.
