Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Henderson, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Henderson, AR, and the material this market builds on is SB-2 base. 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 right choice for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding. The ground here is cherty clay loam over limestone, and it decides how a pad gets built.

Materials for Henderson Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work that shapes most of this section. When a lot sits low or a building pad needs to come up out of the wet, the order starts with fill, not with a finished surface.

Fill Dirt is bulk fill for raising low ground and building a pad up before a base course goes on. It goes in first, and everything else goes on top of it.

Once the pad is at grade, SB-2 Base is the compacted layer under a drive, a parking pad or a slab. Cities and engineers write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

For a driveway, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on a rural or county-road property. Crusher Run is the finer dense graded material that binds and compacts where a tighter base is wanted.

For a patio or a walk, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill the joints and leave a tight walking surface. Walkway Gravel covers garden paths and side yards that need a finer surface than a drive.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and a clean top over a compacted base. Drain Rock does the same work in a dry well or a downspout run.

Soil and finish materials round out a pad job. Top Soil covers a lawn or a graded area, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Ground and Conditions in Henderson

The soil 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 useful, but the clay is the part that catches people out. A pad built on clay without enough fill under it will move once the ground stays wet.

Water here leaves through the rock rather than across it. 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.

So the base depth matters more than the surface material on a low lot. Fill Dirt brings the pad up to grade first, then SB-2 Base goes on as the compacted layer.

Erosion is the other local factor. Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders and culvert outlets, so a drainage layer and a clean stone edge do real work.

Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year in this part of the state. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring are the interruptions, and the late-summer dry spell is the easiest time to get real compaction.

Questions About Material in Henderson

What is the best base under pavers in Henderson?

SB-2 Base is the compacted layer under a paver patio, and Screenings bed the pavers themselves. The screenings are limestone fines, and they fill the joints and leave a tight surface.

On the clay loam here, bring the pad up with Fill Dirt first so the base sits on ground that will not move when it stays wet.
