Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Lafayette County, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Lafayette County, AR. This is the West Gulf Coastal Plain, where deep sandy loam sits over a dense clay subsoil.

Water soaks in fast, then perches and moves sideways.

That ground is why SB-2 base comes first here. SB-2 is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Build a drive or pad on sand without it and the surface gives way.

Delivery across Lafayette County

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you need to size the load.

A dump truck then tips it on site in one pile.

Delivery covers Stamps, Lewisville, Bradley and Buckner, along with the rural roads between them. Rural and county-road properties take bulk loads the same way town lots do.

The truck needs a clear approach and a spot to tip.

Bulk delivery means the material arrives loose and you move it from there. Plan where the pile lands before the truck shows up, because it stays where it is tipped.

Materials delivered in Lafayette County

For a driveway, start with SB-2 base and top it with driveway gravel. For a patio or walkway, screenings bed the pavers and Natural Pea Gravel or walkway gravel finishes the surface.

For a drain, #57 limestone or drain rock carries the water.

SB-2 base is the one to know for anything structural.

Class 7 is the 1 1/2 inch dense grading sold as SB-2, and Class 8 is the 1 inch version. Cities and counties write Class 7 into their own street, sidewalk and parking standards.

Section 302 covers select material used as a foundation course underneath.

When you are working to a written spec, ask for Class 7 base and you get the same stone. Crusher run is the finer dense-graded option where a material that binds and compacts is wanted.

Ground conditions across Lafayette County

Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, the profile is deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel, clay, chalk and marl. Sandy pine uplands cover most of it.

Heavy dark prairie clay shows up on the chalk and marl belt.

That sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil. Water soaks in, perches on the clay, then runs sideways.

Flat ground and slow bayous keep the water table high for days after heavy rain, so an under-built base stays soft long after the storm passes.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, which is where rip rap and a proper drainage layer earn their place.

Work runs all year here. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.

Freezes are short and shallow, so wet ground rather than frost is the reason to get the base right.

Choosing the right material

Miller, Columbia and Hempstead counties all sit in the Timberlands, and all three share the same West Gulf Coastal Plain ground as Lafayette County. Deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel, clay, chalk and marl.

Because the ground is the same, the base and drainage choice does not change across the county line. SB-2 base, a washed stone for drainage and rip rap on moving water work the same way in each.

What changes is the job in front of you, not the ground under it. A drive, a pad and a drain each want a different material, and the table above splits them by use.
