Bulk Gravel Delivery to Jonesboro, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Jonesboro, AR for two kinds of buyers: contractors working to a written spec and homeowners fixing a drive or bedding a patio. Both usually start with SB-2 base.

Jonesboro sits on Crowley's Ridge, where deep wind-blown loess covers the ground and cuts cleanly until it is left bare.

Ground and Conditions in Jonesboro

On Crowley's Ridge the ground is deep loess over sand, gravel and clay, and it stands well above the Delta floor on either side. Loess takes rain readily until it saturates, then sheds water down cuts and hollows.

A thin base over that ground shows its failure quickly. The material shifts under a tire or a footing, ruts appear, and the edges break away where water crosses them.

The fix is a dense-graded base with the fines still in it, placed thick enough to spread the load instead of passing it straight down.

Bare loess is the other problem. Steep cuts, drive banks and hollows gully and slump fast once water finds them, which is why ridge properties armor cuts, ditches and outlets rather than waiting.

Work runs all year here, with winter and spring rain the real limit.

Materials for Jonesboro Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where material choice shows up first. Whatever goes under the surface has to hold a level plane, drain what reaches it, and stay put while the surface above is set.

SB-2 base, also written SB2 or base stone, is the standard Arkansas base: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller. Use it under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

When a set of plans or a city standard calls out Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course, that is the same material under the name engineers write into street, sidewalk and parking specs. SB-2 Base covers both.

Crusher Run is the finer dense-graded option for drives and pads.

Screenings, which Arkansas yards also call limestone fines or crusher fines, are the bedding layer itself. They pack tight under pavers, flagstone and brick, fill the joints, and leave a firm walking surface.

Screenings are what you want directly beneath the unit, not base stone.

Sand does similar work where the bedding has to be finer or the joint tighter. Washed Sand, sold as concrete sand or river sand, beds and levels under slabs and pools.

Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play areas.

Drainage under and around flatwork needs a clean washed stone with no fines. #57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate, and 3/4" Crushed Stone works for drainage beds and construction entrances.

For decorative work, Natural Pea Gravel and river gravel both suit beds and borders. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the walkway and dog run size, and Arkansas River Rock covers dry creek beds and splash pads.

Top Soil and Garden Soil handle lawns, bed prep and raised beds.
