Bulk Material Delivery in Elizabeth, AR

Water on the Ozark Plateaus leaves through the rock, not across it. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams take runoff underground fast, while the clay in the joints holds it at the surface after a long rain.

That is why gravel and aggregate delivery in Elizabeth, AR starts with washed stone.

Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material for drives, pads and drainage here in Baxter County. Order SB-2 base for a compacted base, and clean washed sizes for anything that has to move water.

Materials for Elizabeth Projects

Start with the washed sizes. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean stone with no fines, so water passes through instead of sitting in the pipe trench.

3/4" Crushed Stone, also called 3/4 inch clean limestone, is the workhorse drainage size. Use it in drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

#57 Limestone, or 57 rock, is one size down and does the same work in tighter trenches. It also goes into concrete and tops a compacted base.

Drain Rock, often called filter rock, handles dry wells, foundation drains and downspout runs. RipRap armors culvert outlets and ditch checks where the ground falls away.

For a base under all of it, SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas material. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in.

Cities and engineers write the same material into street and parking standards as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Finer sizes and surfacing

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

Walkway Gravel suits garden paths and side yards that need a finer surface than a drive. For beds and borders, Arkansas River Rock and Large River Rock are rounded and washed, and they work in dry creek beds and splash pads.

Pick your date around the work, not the other way around. Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year here, with winter cold snaps and a wet spring as the interruptions.

Ground and Conditions in Elizabeth

This is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel right through the profile. Rock and rubble sit close to the surface on side slopes.

Plan for a base that drains, because the clay in the joints holds water after a long rain.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders and culvert outlets under heavy spring rain. RipRap and clean stone at those outlets protect the ground where runoff leaves the property.

The late-summer dry spell is the easiest window to get real compaction. Freezes come in runs from December into February here, and shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring.

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. Ice storms cause more trouble than deep frost does.
