Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Lamar, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lamar, AR for two kinds of buyers: contractors building to a written standard and homeowners fixing a path or a drive themselves. Both usually start with SB-2 base.

Johnson County sits in the Arkansas River Valley, where deep silt loam and clay hold water and soft ground decides how a project goes.

Ground and Conditions in Lamar

Valley clay gives up water slowly. A thin base over that kind of subgrade pumps and ruts under a truck long before the stone itself wears out.

The fix is a dense-graded base that locks up when it is rolled, plus drainage that moves water away instead of letting it sit. SB-2 base is that material here: a 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in.

Arkansas cities and engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course.

Work runs nearly all year in the valley. A wet late winter and spring is the real limit, and summer heat can dry a surface before it can be rolled.

Mild winters bring short hard freezes and the occasional ice storm, but wet clay subgrade does more damage to a base than cold does.

Materials for Lamar Projects

Paths and walkways want a finer surface than a drive does, and that is where screenings earn their place. Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints, and leave a tight walking surface.

For a garden path or side yard, Walkway Gravel gives you a walkable surface sized for foot traffic rather than tires. Under pavers, screenings are the bedding layer.

Where a path crosses wet ground or a downspout run, #57 Limestone is the washed size for French drains and foundation drainage. It also works as a clean top over a compacted base, and the same stone is used as concrete aggregate.

3/4 inch clean limestone does similar drainage work with no fines at all, and it surfaces drives and construction entrances. For decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds, Arkansas River Rock is the rounded option, and large river rock carries the heavier decorative work.

Under it all, SB-2 Base is the compacted layer for drives, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding. If you want a finer dense-graded material that binds and compacts, crusher run is the alternative, though SB-2 is the term this market uses.
