Bulk Gravel Delivery to Desha, AR

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Desha, AR, Arkansas Rock Supply sells SB-2 base, washed stone, sand and soil by the ton or the yard. Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year in this part of the state.

Only a winter cold snap or a wet spring slows it down, and the late-summer dry spell is the easiest stretch to get real compaction.

The ground here is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel right through the profile. On side slopes, rock and rubble sit close to the surface.

Plan your load around that and around the weather window you are building in.

Ground and Conditions in Desha

Across the Ozark Plateaus, water leaves through the rock rather than across it. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams take runoff underground fast.

The residual clay filling the joints still holds water at the surface after a long rain.

A thin base shows its first failure at the edges and in the low spots. The clay underneath holds water, the stone layer moves, and the surface ruts where tires cross it.

The fix starts with a base that locks up rather than one that just sits there. SB-2 base is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in.

When a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 aggregate base course on street, sidewalk and parking work. That is how local engineers and cities write it into a spec.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams are the other local force. Heavy spring rain scours drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks.

Materials for Desha Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways here. Screenings, also called limestone fines, stone screenings or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick.

They also fill joints and give a tight walking surface.

For a garden path, a side yard or a walkway that needs a finer surface than a drive, Walkway Gravel is the practical pick. Screenings go underneath paver beds and between the joints.

SB-2 base carries the weight under all of it. It is the standard Arkansas base for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

SB-2 Base compacts into a hard, bound layer that spreads a load instead of rutting.

Drainage needs a clean, open stone with no fines. #57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed size for drainage beds and construction entrances.

Where the stone is for looks rather than load, Arkansas River Rock suits decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads. Buyers here say river gravel or creek gravel just as often.
