Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Luxora, AR

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Luxora, AR runs all year, but the ground decides the schedule. Winter and spring leave the Delta clay wet, and a loaded truck ruts a soft drive fast.

Midsummer, when the clay shrinks and cracks, is the window for base work. Arkansas Rock Supply delivers SB-2 base, soil and stone to Mississippi County.

Materials for Luxora Projects

Grading and bed prep start with what goes under and around the work. Topsoil, garden soil and fill carry most of that job on flat Delta ground, and the base and stone go on top of it.

Top Soil is screened and used for lawns, grading and bed prep. Screened topsoil spades and rakes cleanly, so it takes seed and sod without the clods and roots raw dirt brings.

Garden Soil goes in raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas. It holds moisture and gives roots something loose to move through instead of tight clay.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on. On ground that stands wet, fill is what gets a building or shed floor above the water.

SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas base material: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

When a written standard calls for it, the same material is written as Class 7 base.

Screenings, the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and leave a tight walking surface. #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base.

Ground and Conditions in Luxora

Luxora sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. Locals call it buckshot and gumbo.

It barely takes water, so rain stands where it falls and field ditches and bayous drain slowly.

That changes how you build. A pad on this clay needs fill under it to get above the water, and a base course needs to sit on ground that has stopped moving.

SB-2 base locks up under a roller because the fines stay in the mix.

Where water has to leave, washed stone does the work. #57 limestone and 3/4 inch clean limestone have no fines, so water moves through instead of ponding.

Screenings and fines-bearing material do the opposite and hold water.

Bare cropland silt sheets off in a storm, and ditch and bayou banks slough. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks where moving water is cutting.

Winters here are short and mild. Frost is shallow, and the winter problem is saturated clay, not frost.

Work runs all year around that.
