Buy #57 Limestone in Fairfield Bay, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Fairfield Bay, AR, with SB-2 base leading the list. That is the dense graded crushed stone local crews call base stone, and it is where most drive and pad work starts around here.

We also deliver washed stone, sand, topsoil and decorative rock. Slopes in this part of the Boston Mountains shed water fast, so what you put down matters as much as how much you order.

Materials for Fairfield Bay Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is the heart of what leaves for Fairfield Bay. SB-2 base, also written SB2, is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. When a written standard applies, that same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course, and engineers write it into street, sidewalk and parking specs.

Washed stone handles the drainage side. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size, used in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone works the same jobs where a washed stone with no fines is wanted, including drainage beds and construction entrances. Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Sand and soil round out an order. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, while Mason Sand suits brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play areas.

Top Soil comes screened for lawns, grading and bed prep. Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on.

For decorative work, Arkansas River Rock covers beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads, and large river rock suits heavier decorative work. RipRap armors banks, slopes and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Fairfield Bay

Rain and snowmelt are the drivers here. Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock, so slopes stay wet and slick, while the sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow.

A steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it. That is the reason a fines-bearing base like SB-2 base is compacted into a drive rather than spread loose.

Slope length and gradient set the erosion risk. Runoff on steep hollow drives cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

A clean washed layer under a drive helps move that water along instead of letting it sit.

The ground itself is stony, acid silt loam and clay over flat-lying sandstone and shale. Rock benches and ledges show up on the slopes, and ridge soils are thin, with any depth only at the foot of a slope.

Timing matters as much as material. Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the limits, and grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall once the slopes have dried out.

Cold here is sharp by Arkansas standards, and ice storms bring repeated freeze-thaw on shaded north-facing slopes and drives. Ask the county or city building official for the local frost line, since no statewide figure is published.
