3/4 Inch Clean Limestone and Bulk Aggregates for Fulton, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Fulton, AR, and the ground here sets the first decision. Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy loam and sandy clay sit over unconsolidated sand, gravel and clay, so water soaks in, perches, then runs sideways.

That pattern is why SB-2 base, the dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone, does the heavy work under drives and pads. The fines stay in the mix so it locks up under a roller.

Materials for Fulton Projects

Washed stone is the sensible starting point for a lot of work around here. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need stone with no fines, because fines are what hold water in the trench instead of letting it move.

#57 limestone is the standard washed size for those runs, and it also acts as concrete aggregate and a clean top over a compacted base.

One size down, #67 stone suits tighter drainage work and concrete where the #57 is coarser than the job wants. For fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints, #8 crushed stone and #89 crushed stone go in where the opening is small.

On the heavy end, #4 crushed stone handles trench bottoms and stabilizing soft ground, and railroad ballast is the large angular stone for severe drainage.

Where a washed stone is wanted with no fines at all, 3/4 inch clean limestone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing. Drain rock, which suppliers here also call filter rock, is the general name for the same drainage duty.

Below the washed sizes, the base course usually comes from SB-2 base. When a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 base, and the smaller 1 inch minus version is sold as Class 8 base.

Screenings, also called limestone fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints. Washed sand levels under slabs and pools, and mason sand serves brick, block and stone work.

Ground and Conditions in Fulton

Work runs all year here. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the real limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft, so timing a delivery around the weather matters more than the calendar.

The soils under this part of the state are deep and acid, sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated material. Sandy topsoil sitting on dense clay subsoil means water soaks in, perches, then runs sideways.

Flat ground and slow bayous hold the water table high for days after heavy rain. That is the argument for a proper base depth and for a drainage layer that actually moves water away.

Bare sand also cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall, and thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets. Rip rap on a slope or a culvert outlet is often the cheaper answer than rebuilding the same shoulder twice.

Freezes are short and shallow across south Arkansas, and an ice storm matters far more here than frost depth ever will. Wet ground, not frost, is the reason to get the base right.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Fulton?

SB-2 base is the standard choice for a drive or parking pad here, because the fines are left in so it locks up under a roller. Top it with 3/4 inch clean limestone or #57 limestone if you want a washed surface over the compacted base.

On ground that stays wet, SB-2 over a drainage layer makes more sense.
