Bulk Material Delivery in Hensley, AR

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Hensley, AR, the ground you build on decides the base depth before anything else. Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, and this part of Pulaski County sits on the Central Arkansas fall line, where gravelly rocky clay loam meets sandy coastal-plain soils.

That mix drains unevenly, so a drive or pad usually starts with SB-2 base, the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up under a roller and holds where clay stays wet.

Materials for Hensley Projects

Water is the job on most lots here. Tight clay subsoils and flat terraces hold it, and runoff off the foothills concentrates where the slope flattens out.

Washed stone is how you move that water away from a foundation, a downspout or a low corner of the yard.

Start with the coarsest sizes and work down. #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms where soft ground needs stabilizing.

RipRap armors a bank, a culvert outlet or a ditch check along a creek or bayou edge.

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size: French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base. 3/4" Crushed Stone does the same work in a slightly smaller clean stone, useful for drainage beds and drive surfacing.

For a drywell or a downspout run, Drain Rock is the size to ask for, and suppliers here often call it filter rock. #67 Stone and #8 Crushed Stone step down from there for tighter drainage and paver joints.

None of those clean stones compact into a base, because the fines are washed out. That is what SB-2 base and Crusher Run are for.

Screenings, sold here as Screenings or limestone fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints.

When a written standard governs the job, that same material is specified as Class 7 base, or Class 7 aggregate base course. Ask for it by whichever name your plan uses.

Ground and Conditions in Hensley

Work runs all year here. Winter rain on clay and midsummer heat set the limits, not frozen ground.

Wet clay subgrade softens badly under traffic through the winter, so timing a delivery around a wet spell matters more than the calendar.

Runoff coming off the foothills concentrates where the slope flattens, and bare clay on a newly cut lot scours fast. A drainage layer under the base and a washed stone run at the low side both pay off in that setting.
