Landscaping Material Delivered in Gravette, AR

Water in this corner of the Ozark Plateaus leaves through the rock, not across it. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams pull runoff underground fast, and a bed or a dry creek bed that ignores that will wash out on the first hard spring rain.

Materials for Gravette Projects

Decorative work is where most Gravette yards start, and rounded stone is the reason. River gravel and large river rock build dry creek beds that carry roof runoff and splash off a downspout without looking like a drainage fix.

For beds and borders, Arkansas River Rock covers ground and holds a clean edge. Large River Rock suits heavier decorative work and light bank protection where a rounded stone is wanted.

Paths and play areas want something smaller underfoot. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is washed and rounded, and it works for walkways, dog runs and play areas.

Every one of those beds needs a hard edge and a compacted base under it. SB-2 Base is the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller.

Where a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 base. For a tighter dense-graded option, Crusher Run binds and compacts.

Drainage and hard surfaces take washed stone. #57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and a clean top over a compacted base.

Bedding and joints are a different job. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints after.

Ground and Conditions in Gravette

The ground across the Ozark Plateaus is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone. Chert gravel runs right through the profile, and rock or rubble sits close to the surface on side slopes.

That shallow rock is why an under-built base shows up fast. A bed or a pad laid on a thin base over chert will not hold its shape, and the fines in SB-2 base are what let it lock up.

Water is the other half of it. Runoff goes underground through sinkholes and fractured limestone, while the residual clay filling the joints holds water at the surface after a long rain.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks in heavy spring rain. Rip rap on those banks, and a clean washed stone at the outlet, take the energy out of the flow.

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.

Freezes come in runs from December into February, and shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring. Ice storms are a bigger nuisance than deep frost.

No statewide frost figure is published, and the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line, so confirm the local figure before footings go in.
