Order SB-2 Base and Crushed Stone in Little River County, AR
Arkansas Rock Supply sells gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Little River County, AR, ordered online and tipped on site by dump truck. The ground here tells you what a project needs before you pick a material.
Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy topsoil sits over a dense clay subsoil. Water soaks in, perches on the clay and then runs sideways, so a pad or drive built on bare ground moves under a loaded truck.
SB-2 base is the Arkansas answer: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.

Start with the job, then match the stone to it. A driveway, a patio, a drain and a garden bed each want a different size and a different amount of fines.
SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material, and it is also what cities and counties write into their street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base.
Class 8 is the 1 inch version of the same thing.
Section 302 covers select material used as a foundation course underneath.
When you are working to a written spec, order it as Class 7 base and you get the same stone. If you want a finer dense-graded material that still binds and compacts, crusher run is the tighter option.
Ground conditions across Little River County
The soil across this part of the West Gulf Coastal Plain is deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel, clay, chalk and marl. Sandy pine uplands cover most of it, with heavy dark prairie clay on the chalk and marl belt.
That layering is the practical problem. Sand takes water in quickly, the dense clay below stops it, and the water then moves sideways.
A base course laid straight on that ground pumps and shifts, so the base depth carries the load and the drainage layer carries the water.
Bare sand also cuts and gullies fast under intense Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, which is where rip rap and a clean washed stone earn their place.
Work runs all year here. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the real limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.
Freezes are short and shallow, and an ice storm matters far more than frost depth ever will.
Choosing the right material
Miller County and Hempstead County share this ground region, so the same base and drainage choices hold there. Sevier County spans more than one zone, reaching into the Ouachita Mountains, where rock sits closer to the surface and the clay layer is not the same constraint.
For a driveway, SB-2 base is the compacted layer and driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. For a drain, use a washed size such as drain rock or #57 limestone, because fines in a drainage bed stop the water.
For a walkway, walkway gravel or Natural Pea Gravel gives a finer surface than a drive needs. For a patio, screenings bed the pavers and fill the joints.
For a lawn or a bed, top soil is screened for grading and bed prep, and fill dirt raises low ground before any base course goes on.
