Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Edgemont, AR

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Edgemont, AR, start with the job itself. A garden bed, a raised planting box, or a low spot you want built up all take soil and fill before anything else.

Arkansas Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Cleburne County, and SB-2 base is the local name for the compacted base that goes under a drive or pad.

This part of the Boston Mountains is stony silt loam and clay over sandstone and shale. That shapes what you put down and where the water ends up.

Materials for Edgemont Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here, and that means soil and fill. Screened Top Soil goes over rough ground to give a lawn something to root into.

Garden Soil is blended for raised beds and vegetable plots. Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on.

Once the grade is right, the base goes down. 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.

Engineers and city standards in Arkansas write the same material as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec. Both are on the SB-2 Base page.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding.

3/4" Crushed Stone is a clean, no-fines stone for drainage beds and drive surfacing. Drain Rock covers dry wells and downspout runs.

Sand beds and levels. Washed Sand is concrete sand for bedding under slabs and pools.

Mason Sand is for brick, block and stone work and for paver joints.

For beds and borders, Arkansas River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel give you a rounded, washed stone. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and keeps bare soil from washing in a storm.

Ground and Conditions in Edgemont

Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock. That keeps slopes wet and slick long after the rain stops.

Sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow instead.

The result is that a steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it. Slope length and gradient do the rest.

Runoff on a steep hollow drive cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after a long rain.

So the base matters more than the top dressing. A fines-bearing material like SB-2 base binds and compacts into a surface that holds.

Clean washed stone like #57 Limestone lets water pass instead. Pick by where the water is going.

Timing is the other half. Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the limits here, and grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall once the slopes have dried out.

Shaded north-facing slopes hold ice and stay frozen hours longer than the valleys below.

No statewide frost figure is published for Arkansas. The residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.

Ask the Cleburne County or city building official for the local number.
