Order SB-2 Base and Crushed Stone in Faulkner County, AR
Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Faulkner County, AR. If you are building a driveway, setting a patio base or running drainage, the material you start with decides how the job holds up.
SB-2 base is the Arkansas starting point. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller.
Order it online and a truck tips it on site.
Materials Delivered in Faulkner County
SB-2 base is the standard base material in this part of Arkansas. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding.
Table 303-1 sets the aggregate base course gradings as Class 1 through Class 8.
Class 7 is the 1 1/2 inch dense grading that quarries and yards across the state sell 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. When you are working to a written spec, that is the name to use.
SB-2 Base and Crusher Run both serve drives and pads where a dense-graded material that binds and compacts is wanted.
Sand, soil and mulch round out a delivery. Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.
Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and Arkansas buyers usually want it screened. 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.
Choosing the Right Material
Start with what the surface has to do. A drive or a pad needs a base that compacts and stays put.
SB-2 base and Class 7 are the same material under two names, so pick the name your plan uses. Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints.
#57 limestone and 3/4 inch clean limestone both drain, one size apart.
Ground in the neighbouring counties to the north and east differs from Faulkner County. Cleburne County and Van Buren County sit in the Boston Mountains, where stony, acid silt loam and clay lie over flat-lying sandstone and shale.
Ridge soils there are thin, and only the foot of a slope carries any depth.
That changes the material call. Thin ridge soil over sandstone means less subgrade to work with and more rock at the surface, so a drainage layer matters more than base depth.
Faulkner County sits in the Arkansas River Valley, on deep silt loam and clay over shale and sandstone uplands. That is a different set of problems from the Boston Mountains, and it is the ground your base has to sit on.
Ground Conditions Across Faulkner County
Water is the driver here. Across the Arkansas River Valley, the bottomland is flat and the water table sits high near the river.
Spring thunderstorms bring sheet erosion off bare valley clay. Bank scour and flood flow work on the Arkansas River and its lakes.
Winters here are mild, broken by short hard freezes and the occasional ice storm. Frost action is shallow.
Wet clay subgrade still softens and pumps under traffic all winter, and that is the real reason a base needs proper depth. No statewide frost depth figure is published.
The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.
Work runs nearly all year in the valley. A wet late winter and spring is the real limit, and summer heat can dry a surface before it can be rolled.

Order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you need to size the load.
Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. A bulk load needs room for the truck to get in and out and a firm surface under it, because a loaded truck on soft clay is a problem for everyone.
