Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Grapevine, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Grapevine, AR for two kinds of buyers: contractors setting paver patios and flatwork, and homeowners building a drive or a shed pad on their own land. Both need SB-2 base under the finished surface, and both need it sized right before the truck leaves.

Grapevine sits in Grant County on the West Gulf Coastal Plain, where sandy loam over clay decides how a pad holds up.

Ground and Conditions in Grapevine

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil. Water soaks in fast through the sand, then perches on the clay and runs sideways.

A base built thin shows it first at the edges. The sand layer pumps, the clay stays wet underneath, and pavers rock within a season.

Bare sand also cuts and gullies quickly under Gulf rainfall. Runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, so edge stone and drainage matter as much as the surface.

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.

Freezes are short and shallow across south Arkansas, so wet ground, not frost, is the reason to build a proper base depth.

Materials for Grapevine Projects

Bedding is where a paver patio or a slab is won or lost. Get the layer under the stone right and the surface stays flat.

SB-2 Base

SB-2 base, also called SB2 or base stone, is the standard Arkansas base material. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

That makes it the layer under paver bedding, patio slabs, driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding. When a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 aggregate base course.

Order SB-2 Base for any project working to a set of plans or a county spec.

Screenings and Sand

Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, are the Arkansas trade name for the fine material that beds pavers, flagstone and brick. They also fill joints and give a tight walking surface.

Below that, Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pools, while Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

Drainage and Surfacing

#57 limestone, called 57 rock or clean rock, handles French drains, foundation and pipe drainage. It also works as a clean top over a compacted base and as concrete aggregate.

For a finer washed size, 3/8" Crushed Stone suits pipe bedding and paver joints. RipRap armors banks and slope edges where runoff scours.

Questions from Grapevine Buyers

What gravel is best for a driveway in Grapevine?

Start with SB-2 base, the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone used across Arkansas for drives. Its fines let it lock up under a roller, which matters on sandy loam over clay where water perches and runs sideways.

Top it with a clean washed stone if you want a tidier surface, or leave the base exposed on a rural or county-road property. The same material is specified as Class 7 base when a written standard applies.

How much material will my project need?

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, so you can work out your own figure rather than guessing at the pile.

Measure the area you are covering and the depth you intend, then let the calculator handle the rest. Order what the number gives you and a dump truck will tip it on site.
