Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Lockesburg, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lockesburg, AR. Work here runs all year, and winter and spring rain on sandy clay is what sets the pace.

A long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, so the order that lands on a dry stretch goes down cleaner. Start with SB-2 base and build out from there.

Ground and Conditions in Lockesburg

Sandy loam over dense clay is the pattern through this part of the state. Water soaks in fast, hits the clay, and then moves sideways instead of down.

On a paver patio or a slab, that sideways water is the whole problem. A thin base layer saturates, then shifts, and the surface above it starts to move.

A thick, well-graded base is the correction. It spreads the load, keeps the bedding dry, and holds a patio edge where it was set.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, so drainage matters as much as the surface.

Freezes are short and shallow here. Wet ground is the reason to build a base properly, not cold.

Materials for Lockesburg Projects

Patios, walkways and flatwork live or fail on what sits under them. Start with the base, then pick the bedding and the surfacing to match.

SB-2 Base

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

It carries driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. Engineers and cities write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Order it by name at SB-2 Base.

Screenings and Sand for Bedding

Screenings, also called limestone fines, are the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines. They bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and give a tight walking surface.

Mason sand does the same work on brick, block and stone, and it fills paver joints. Washed sand levels and beds under slabs and pools.

Both come in at Screenings and Mason Sand.

Clean Stone and Drainage

#57 limestone is the workhorse washed size here. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate.

3/4 inch clean limestone has no fines in it, so it suits drainage beds and construction entrances. Rip rap armors banks, slopes and culvert outlets where a large angular stone is wanted.

Find them at #57 Limestone and 3/4" Crushed Stone.

Surfacing and Decorative Stone

Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county-road properties. Walkway gravel gives garden paths and side yards a finer, walkable surface.

Natural Pea Gravel and river gravel, which Arkansas suppliers also call creek gravel, finish beds, borders and dry creek beds.
