Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Lonsdale, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lonsdale, AR, and every load starts with a number. Each product page carries a calculator, so you can size the load before you order.

SB-2 base is the material this part of Arkansas builds on. It is a dense graded crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller.

Delivery to Lonsdale and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips your material on site.

Lonsdale sits in Garland County, and delivery covers the same county. That includes Hot Springs Village, Pearcy, Mountain Pine, Bonnerdale and Jessieville.

Bulk loads arrive loose and go on the ground as one pile, so it helps to know where you want that pile before the truck shows up. Keep it clear of overhead lines and anything you do not want buried.

Materials for Lonsdale Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of yards here start, and the Ouachita ground gives you plenty of reasons to build beds and borders rather than fight the rock.

Arkansas River Rock is the rounded, washed stone for decorative beds, borders and splash pads. Large River Rock carries the same look into dry creek beds and heavier decorative work.

Where a dry creek bed has to move water, rip rap is the angular option. It armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

For a drive or a parking pad, SB-2 base is the compacted layer. Class 7 base is the same material under the name engineers write into street, sidewalk and parking standards, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

SB-2 Base covers both.

Above a compacted base you want a clean, washed stone. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same idea one size up, for drainage beds and drive surfacing.

For bedding and joints, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and they fill the joints between them. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded, washed choice for walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Ground and Conditions in Lonsdale

The ground across the Ouachita Mountains is stony, gravelly loam over folded sandstone, shale, chert and novaculite. Rock fragments run right through the profile, and the long east-west ridges carry shallow soils while the valleys between them hold deeper, more workable ground.

That matters before anything goes down. A pad cut into shallow, rocky ground can look solid and still need fill to bring it up level, which is where Fill Dirt comes in.

Water is the other half of it. Tilted shale and chert beds shed rain off the ridges fast and funnel it into the narrow valleys, so a drive or pad takes concentrated flow arriving from above rather than the rain that lands on it.

Fast ridge runoff and flashy streams drive the erosion here, and steep drive cuts lose surfacing after a big storm. A drainage layer of clean stone gives that water somewhere to go instead of through your base.

Work runs year round, with winter ice and a wet spring as the limits. Once the rocky ground drains, it compacts well and holds.
