Bulk Material Delivery in Gepp, AR

Storm water leaves fast in this country. It drops through sinkholes and fractured limestone instead of running off across the ground.

That is why so much of the gravel and aggregate delivery in Gepp, AR comes down to coarse stone for slope, swale and bank protection.

Arkansas Rock Supply delivers bulk material to Gepp and Fulton County. Start with SB-2 base for pads, drives and pipe bedding.

Reach for washed stone when the job is moving water instead of holding it.

Materials for Gepp Projects

Coarse stone protects slopes, swales and creek banks. It sheds fast water and holds ground that softer material would lose.

Rip rap is the big angular stone for banks that take a beating. It goes on creek edges, steep banks and culvert outlets where water arrives hard.

#4 Crushed Stone sits one step down. Use it in trench bottoms and on soft ground that needs a stable footing before anything else goes in.

For drainage that runs underground, #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size here. It drains, it does not hold water, and it works in French drains and around foundations and pipes.

3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage beds and construction entrances. It is clean, so no fines pack the voids shut.

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller. Arkansas cities and engineers write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base.

Use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Screenings, the local name for limestone fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. For a finer surface, 3/8 inch Natural Pea Gravel and Arkansas River Rock cover walkways, dry creek beds and decorative beds.

A dump truck tips the material in one pile on site. Gepp sits in Fulton County, and delivery covers the county, including Salem, Mammoth Spring, Viola, Bexar and Camp.

Have the drop spot open and reachable before the truck arrives. Mark what you do not want buried and keep vehicles and equipment clear of the pile area.

Ground and Conditions in Gepp

Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year here. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring are the interruptions.

The late-summer dry spell is the easiest stretch to get real compaction.

The ground is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel through the profile. Rock and rubble sit close to the surface on side slopes, so pads often need fill dirt built up before SB-2 base goes down.

Water is the real driver. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams take runoff underground fast, while the clay filling the joints holds water at the surface after a long rain.

Wet ground is the reason for a proper base depth.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy Ozark streams scour drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks. Heavy spring rain does the damage, so line those spots with coarse stone before the next round.
