Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Delight, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Delight, AR, from a patio pad to a full driveway rebuild. SB-2 base is the local name for the dense graded crushed stone crews build pads and drives on here.

This part of Pike County sits on deep sandy loam over sandy clay, so what you put under a slab or a paver decides how it holds up.

Ground and Conditions in Delight

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil. Water soaks down through the sand, perches on the clay, and then moves sideways.

A thin base over that ground shows itself fast. The pad pumps, the pavers rock, and the joints open up after a wet spell.

The fix is a base that locks up and a drainage layer that gives perched water somewhere to go. Bare sand also cuts and gullies under heavy Gulf rain, and runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets.

Work runs all year here. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.

Freezes are short and shallow in this part of Arkansas. Wet ground, not frost, is the reason a pad needs real base depth.

Materials for Delight Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a patio starts, so the material under the surface matters as much as the surface itself. SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas base: a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in.

Those fines let it lock up under a roller.

When a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 aggregate base course. Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding.

Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick. They also fill joints and leave a tight walking surface.

Washed Sand handles bedding, leveling and sand under slabs and pools. Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

For drainage under and around flatwork, #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size. It suits French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate, and a clean top over a compacted base.

Questions About Gravel and Delivery

What gravel is best for a driveway in Delight?

SB-2 base, also called SB2 or base stone, is the standard Arkansas choice for a driveway. It is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

It also works for parking pads and pipe bedding. Class 7 base is the same material under the name engineers write into street and parking standards.
