Franklin County, AR Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery
Looking for gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Franklin County, AR? Arkansas Rock Supply brings bulk material to your site, and for most drive and pad work here the answer is SB-2 base.
That is the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller on the shale and sandstone uplands and the river bottoms alike. Order online by the ton or by the yard.

Materials delivered in Franklin County
SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material for drives, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. Arkansas cities and engineers write it into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7.
Class 8 is the 1 inch version, and Section 302 covers select material used as a foundation course underneath. If you are working to a written spec, ask for Class 7 base.
Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and mason sand handles brick, block and stone work along with paver joints. Screenings bed pavers and surface paths.
For drainage, #57 limestone and 3/4 inch clean limestone are the washed sizes, and screenings fill joints and tight bedding. Rip rap armors ditch banks, culvert outlets and slope edges where moving water scours bare ground.
Fill dirt raises low ground and builds a pad, then a base course goes on top. Shredded mulch and garden soil finish the beds and planting areas.
Ground conditions across Franklin County
Work runs nearly all year here. A wet late winter and spring is the real limit on hauling and on getting a surface rolled before it takes on water.
Across the Arkansas River Valley, the bottomland soils are deep silt loam and clay, and the clay subsoils let go of water slowly. Bank scour and sheet erosion off bare clay both show up in spring thunderstorms, so bare ground and slope edges need cover.
Frost action is shallow in this part of the state, but wet clay subgrade still softens and pumps under traffic through the winter. That is the reason a proper base course matters more than cold does, and no statewide frost figure is published, so none is applied here.
Choosing the right material
Sebastian County sits in the same Arkansas River Valley ground as Franklin County. The soil and drainage picture is the same, so the base and drainage choices carry over unchanged.
Madison County lies in the Ozark Mountains and spans the Boston Mountains and the Ozark Plateaus. That is rockier ground, which changes how water behaves under a drive or a pad.
Crawford County also spans more than one zone, covering the Arkansas River Valley and the Boston Mountains. Where the ground turns rockier, drainage and slope protection carry more of the work than they do on valley clay.
