Fill and Base Material Delivered in Fayetteville, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Fayetteville, AR for driveways, pads, drains and beds. The ground here is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel right through the profile.

That shallow, stony profile is why SB-2 base does so much of the work on this side of the state. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Materials for Fayetteville Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the job that sets everything else on a lot. Fill dirt goes down first to lift low ground and build a pad up out of the wet, and SB-2 base goes on top of it as the compacted sub-base.

For a driveway or a parking pad, SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas base material. When you are working to a written standard, the same dense-graded stone is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course.

For a patio, walkway or paver area, Screenings bed the pavers and fill the joints, and they leave a tight walking surface. Washed Sand levels bedding under slabs and pools.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is a washed stone with no fines, used in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and as a clean top over a compacted base. Drain Rock covers dry wells and downspout runs.

For ground that stays soft, #4 Crushed Stone stabilizes a trench bottom or a soft entry. Fill Dirt and SB-2 base together handle most grade changes.

Ground and Conditions in Fayetteville

Across the Ozark Plateaus, water leaves through the rock rather than across it. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams take runoff underground fast.

The residual clay filling the joints still holds water at the surface after a long rain. An under-built base on that ground pumps and shifts, because the sub-base never got the depth to bridge the clay.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders and culvert outlets. Rip rap on a bank or a culvert outlet, and clean stone in a drainage layer, both move water away from the surface instead of letting it sit.

Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year here. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring are the interruptions, and the late-summer dry spell is the easiest time to get real compaction.

This is the coldest corner of Arkansas. Freezes come in runs from December into February, and shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring.

No statewide frost figure is published. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line, and exterior footings sit at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground, so confirm the local figure before footings go in.

Questions Fayetteville Buyers Ask

What is the best base under pavers in Fayetteville?

Use SB-2 base as the compacted sub-base, then bed the pavers in screenings. The dense-graded stone carries the load, and the screenings give you a fine, level bed and fill the joints.

On this cherty clay ground, the base layer is what keeps the pavers from rocking after a wet spring.
