Landscaping Material Delivered in Humphrey, AR

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Humphrey, AR, the first question is usually what to put down and how much of it you need. Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material online and delivers it to your site.

Most landscaping jobs here start with a bed layout, a dry creek bed, or ground cover that has to hold up on Delta ground. Decorative stone covers that work, and SB-2 base goes underneath anything that has to stay put.

Delivery to Humphrey and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at your site.

Humphrey sits in Arkansas County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Stuttgart, DeWitt, Gillett, St. Charles and Almyra.

If you are outside the city limits, the same online order works the same way.

Each product page carries a calculator if you are unsure how much to order. Sizing a load for a bed, a drive, or a drainage run is easier once you know the number you are working with.

Materials for Humphrey Projects

Landscaping here means beds, borders and ground cover, and the rounded Arkansas stone is what most of that work is built from. River gravel, also called river rock or creek gravel, is the standard for decorative beds, borders and splash pads.

Large river rock, also called large river gravel, suits dry creek beds and heavier decorative work. It is a rounded stone, so it moves water and reads as a bed feature rather than a structural fill.

Below the decorative layer, the bed or pad still needs a compacted base. 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.

Engineers and city standards in Arkansas usually write the same material as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course.

For a walkable top layer, screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Natural Pea Gravel, usually brown or beige and washed out of river deposits, covers walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Drainage is the other half of a landscaping job on flat ground. #57 limestone, also called #57 stone or clean rock, is a washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and a clean top over a compacted base.

Where a tighter washed stone is wanted, 3/4 inch clean limestone handles drainage beds and drive surfacing. Grading, lawn and bed prep usually call for screened topsoil, and shredded mulch, also called hardwood mulch, holds moisture in beds and tree rings through the summer.

Ground and Conditions in Humphrey

This part of the state sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. The soil barely takes water, so rain stands where it falls.

Flat ground, a high water table and slow-draining clay mean a bed or a drive built on bare soil will move. That is why a compacted SB-2 base goes under the decorative layer rather than stone laid straight on the dirt.

Under-built base is the usual reason a bed edge spreads or a walkway ruts. The clay stays wet through the winter, and a loaded truck will cut into a drive with no frost involved at all.

Work runs all year here. The midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work, so timing a base delivery around that stretch makes the compaction easier to reach.
