Gravel, Stone and Soil for Drew County, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Drew County, AR to Monticello, Wilmar and the ground between them. SB-2 base is the material to start with here.

It is the dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone that Arkansas yards sell for drives, pads and pipe bedding, with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.

Materials delivered in Drew County

SB-2 base, also written SB2 or base stone, is the standard Arkansas base material.

Class 7 is the 1 1/2 inch dense grading sold as SB-2, and Class 8 is the 1 inch version. Section 302 covers select material used as a foundation course underneath.

Cities and counties write Class 7 into their own street, sidewalk and parking standards, so ask for it by that name when you are working to a written spec. Order SB-2 base for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and give a tight walking surface. Use #57 Limestone for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate.

3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where a washed stone with no fines is wanted. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage.

For decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads, Arkansas River Rock is the rounded choice. RipRap armors banks and slopes on creeks, bayous and lake edges, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Beyond stone, Arkansas Rock Supply delivers Washed Sand for bedding and leveling under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand for brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and most Arkansas buyers want it screened. Garden Soil fills raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on. Shredded Mulch holds moisture through an Arkansas summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

For a finer dense graded material that binds and compacts, Crusher Run is the same idea in a tighter size. Arkansas usually reaches for SB-2 base first, so treat crusher run as the alternative.

Ground conditions across Drew County

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, the ground is deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel and clay. Sandy pine uplands cover most of it.

That sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil, so water soaks in, perches and then runs sideways. Flat ground and slow bayous keep the water table high for days after heavy rain.

A thin base course fails here because the clay underneath stays soft and the stone punches down into it. Build the base course up over fill dirt on ground that holds water, and keep a washed stone layer for drainage.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall, and thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets. RipRap on a slope or at a culvert outlet slows that down.

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

Freezes are short and shallow across south Arkansas, and an ice storm matters far more here than frost depth ever will. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line.

Choosing the right material

Lincoln, Desha and Chicot counties sit on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, which is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. That is the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for.

Drew County's ground is sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand and gravel. The difference matters: sand drains and clay holds.

On Delta clay, water sits on top and a base course needs fill dirt underneath to lift it out of the wet. On Drew County's sand over clay, water perches at the clay line and runs sideways, so drainage stone matters as much as base depth.
