Landscaping Material Delivered in London, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, crushed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock to London and the surrounding part of Pope County. You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Delivery to London and the Surrounding Area

Ordering is done online. Choose your material, 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 want to size the load before you commit.

Bulk delivery to a site in London arrives as one tipped pile. The truck cannot place, spread or split the load, so the pile lands where the truck can reach and you move it from there with your own equipment.

London sits in Pope County, and delivery covers the county, including Russellville, Pottsville, Atkins, Dover and Hector. If your property is on a county road outside the city, the same online order works.

Materials for London Projects

Decorative rock is where a lot of London yards start, because beds, borders and dry creek beds are the visible part of the work. Arkansas River Rock, also called river gravel or creek gravel, is rounded and washed, and it suits decorative beds, borders and splash pads.

Large River Rock is the heavier option for the same kind of work. Use it in dry creek beds and heavier decorative areas where a bigger rounded stone reads better than a small one.

Natural Pea Gravel, sold as 3/8 inch Natural Pea Gravel, is the finer decorative and walking surface. It goes on walkways, play areas and dog runs, and it drains well because the stone is rounded and washed.

Under all of that, a bed or a pad still needs a base that locks up.

SB-2 base is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it is the material Arkansas engineers write into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base when a job is built to a written spec.

For drainage, #57 limestone is the washed workhorse size. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Soil and sand round out a landscaping job. Screened topsoil goes on lawns and bed prep, garden soil fills raised beds, and mason sand beds brick, block and stone work.

Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds and keeps bare soil from washing in a spring thunderstorm.

Ground and Conditions in London

Across the Arkansas River Valley, the ground runs to deep silt loam and clay on the bottoms and terraces, with shale and sandstone uplands between them. That clay is the part that matters when you build.

Clay subsoil lets go of water slowly, and flat bottomland in this part of the state sits on a high water table. A base course laid straight onto wet clay softens and pumps under traffic all winter, long after the surface looks dry.

That is why an under-built base fails here and why the base is the part worth getting right. A dense-graded material like SB-2 base compacts into a surface that spreads load instead of punching into the subgrade.

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, so timing matters as much as material.

Winters are mild with short hard freezes and the occasional ice storm. Frost action is shallow, and wet clay does more damage to a base than cold does.
