Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Guion, AR

If you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Guion, AR, the first question is usually what to put down. Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or the yard, and the answer starts with SB-2 base for anything that has to carry weight.

Guion sits in Izard County, where the ground is cherty clay loam over limestone and dolostone. That soil shapes what a drive, a pad or a drainage run needs underneath it.

Delivery to Guion and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips the load at your site. Each product page has a calculator if you are unsure how much to enter.

Delivery covers Guion and the rest of Izard County, including Melbourne, Horseshoe Bend, Calico Rock, Oxford and Mount Pleasant. Choose your delivery date at checkout and the truck arrives with the material.

Bulk loads arrive as one tipped pile. Have the spot clear before the truck gets there, since the driver tips the load and moves on.

Materials for Guion Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of Guion yards start, and the material you pick decides how the bed, path or creek bed looks and holds up. Rounded stone reads differently than angular, and a washed product stays cleaner than one with fines left in it.

Arkansas River Rock is the rounded, washed stone for decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads. Local yards say river gravel or creek gravel just as often, and it is the same material.

Large River Rock takes the heavier decorative work: dry creek beds that need to read as a real streambed, and light bank protection where a rounded stone is wanted.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage. Arkansas yards usually carry it in brown or beige, rounded and washed out of river gravel deposits.

Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill the joints, and give you a tight walking surface. They are the fine material behind a patio or a garden path.

For the hard-working side of the same yard, SB-2 Base is the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller. Engineers and Arkansas cities write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base.

For a driveway, SB-2 base is the compacted layer and Driveway Gravel is the surfacing on top of it. For a drain, #57 Limestone is the washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base.

For a patio, screenings bed the pavers and fill the joints. For a walkway that needs a finer, walkable surface than a drive, Walkway Gravel is the material to look at.

Soil and mulch round out a landscape order. Top Soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep, and buyers here usually want it screened.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture through an Arkansas summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Ground and Conditions in Guion

Across the Ozark Plateaus, the soil is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel right through the profile. On side slopes, rock or rubble sits close to the surface.

This is karst country. Sinkholes, springs, losing streams and caves sit under the plateau tops, so water leaves through the rock rather than across it.

That matters for what you build. Runoff drops underground fast through fractured limestone, while the residual clay filling the joints holds water at the surface after a long rain.

An under-built base on that ground shows up quickly. SB-2 base is the dense-graded material that binds and compacts, and crusher run does the same job in a finer size when you want a tighter surface.

Erosion is the other local driver. Steep hollow slopes and flashy Ozark streams scour drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks in heavy spring rain, which is where RipRap comes in for bank and slope armoring.

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 in this corner of the state.
