Buy #57 Limestone in Joiner, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Joiner, AR for contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a driveway from scratch, others are patching a washout before the next rain.

Either way, SB-2 base is the material that starts the job here. This is Delta ground, heavy clay that holds water, so what goes under a drive matters as much as what shows.

Materials for Joiner Projects

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding.

When a job has to meet a written standard, the same material is often specified as Class 7 base. Arkansas cities and engineers write Class 7 into street, sidewalk and parking specs.

If your plans call out Class 7, that is the SB-2 base to order. SB-2 Base covers both names.

On top of a compacted base, washed stone does the drainage and surfacing work. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size here, used for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate, and a clean top over base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same idea in a slightly smaller clean stone, good for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

For the finish layer, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints. They also make a tight walking surface.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county-road properties.

Sand and soil round out a typical order. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

Screened Top Soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep over Delta clay.

Ground and Conditions in Joiner

Joiner sits in Mississippi County, on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Across this part of the state the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, the buckshot and gumbo the Delta is known for.

That clay barely takes water. Rain stands where it falls, field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

A drive built on wet clay with no base under it pumps and ruts.

So base depth and drainage do the real work here. SB-2 base gives you a compacted layer that carries a truck, and a clean washed stone like #57 limestone gives water somewhere to go instead of sitting against the clay.

Work runs all year in the Delta. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Frost is shallow and mild winters are short, but saturated clay will rut a loaded drive in January with no frost involved at all.
