Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Leachville, AR

Planning a patio, a paver walk, or a parking pad starts with the material under it. Arkansas Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Leachville, AR, and the base that makes flatwork last here is SB-2 base.

This is Delta ground, deep alluvial silt loam and heavy clay that barely takes water. What you put under a patio matters as much as the pavers on top.

Ground and Conditions in Leachville

Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, the ground is flat and the water table sits high. Rain stands where it falls because the clay under it will not absorb much.

A thin base shows that failure fast. The pavers rock, joints open, and the surface dips where the soil moved.

The fix is a base with enough fines left in it to lock up under compaction. SB-2 base is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone, and the fines are what let it bind into a firm, unyielding layer.

Screenings go on top of that as the bedding course, giving pavers and flagstone a level surface to sit on.

Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint in Mississippi County. Saturated clay ruts deeply under a loaded truck, and that is a bigger problem here than frost.

Midsummer, when the clay shrinks and cracks, is the best window for base work.

Materials for Leachville Projects

Bedding is where a patio is won or lost. The layer directly under the pavers has to be fine, consistent, and easy to screed level.

Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, are the Arkansas bedding material for pavers, flagstone, and brick. They pack tight, fill joints, and leave a firm walking surface.

Under the bedding, SB-2 Base carries the load. It is the standard Arkansas base, and engineers and cities write the same material into street and parking standards as Class 7 base.

Drainage matters as much as bearing on this ground. #57 Limestone is a washed stone with no fines, used for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base.

Where a smaller washed stone is wanted, 3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding, and paver joints.

For the finish around a patio, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, and dog runs. Arkansas yards usually stock it in brown or beige.

Questions About Gravel and Base in Leachville

What gravel is best for a driveway in Leachville?

SB-2 base is the right call for a Delta driveway. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller and holds on soft clay.

For the surface layer, driveway gravel tops the compacted base. On ground this wet, a proper compacted base is what keeps a drive from rutting.

How much material will my project need?

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator for sizing the load. Have your project measurements ready before you order.

If you are unsure which material fits the job, start with the base layer and work up from there.
