Landscaping Material Delivered in Ethel, AR

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Ethel, AR? Arkansas Rock Supply brings bulk decorative rock, SB-2 base, washed stone, sand and soil straight to your site.

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material: dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, the ground here is deep silt loam and heavy clay, so a bed or a pad starts with what goes under it.

Delivery to Ethel and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout, and you pick your delivery date there.

A dump truck then tips the material in one pile at your site.

Ethel sits in Arkansas County, and deliveries run to sites around Stuttgart, DeWitt, Gillett, St. Charles and Almyra as well.

Whether your work is a decorative bed, a driveway or a drainage run, the load arrives the same way: bulk, tipped on site, ready for you to move.

Materials for Ethel Projects

Decorative work is where most properties here start, and the right stone depends on the look you want and how the bed drains. Arkansas River Rock is the local river gravel, and it goes into decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads.

Large River Rock, or large river gravel, suits dry creek beds, heavier decorative work and light bank protection where a rounded stone is wanted.

For walkways, play areas and dog runs, 3/8 inch Natural Pea Gravel is a rounded, washed river gravel that Arkansas yards usually take in brown or beige. Screenings, the local name for limestone fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and give you a tight walking surface.

Then there is the structural side. SB-2 Base handles driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

When your job is written to a spec, the same material is called Class 7 base, the name Arkansas cities and engineers put into street, sidewalk and parking standards.

Clean washed sizes cover the drainage and concrete work: #57 Limestone for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing. Around the beds themselves, Shredded Mulch and Top Soil finish the planting side.

Ground and Conditions in Ethel

The Delta ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, with sandier ridges and older terraces scattered through it. That clay barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls, field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

For you, that means a base course is the part that decides whether a pad or drive holds up. Fines-bearing material like SB-2 base locks up under a roller, while a clean washed stone like #57 limestone or 3/4 inch clean limestone lets water move instead of sitting.

Match the material to what the ground does.

Work runs all year here. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Winters are mild and frost is shallow, but saturated clay will rut a drive under a loaded truck with no frost involved at all.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare cropland silt sheets off in a storm, ditch and bayou banks slough, and river banks cave.

A dry creek bed of river gravel or large river rock, or rip rap on a steeper bank, gives that water a place to go.
