Rip Rap, Stone and Soil Delivery in Maynard, AR

Ozark water leaves through the rock, not across it. Springs and losing streams take runoff underground fast, and steep hollow slopes above Maynard scour drive shoulders and creek banks when spring rain hits hard.

Arkansas Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in Maynard, AR, from SB-2 base to rip rap.

The ground here is cherty clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel through the profile and rubble close to the surface on side slopes. That shapes which stone you want and where it goes.

Materials for Maynard Projects

Start with the big angular stone. Rip rap is the answer for bank and slope armoring on Ozark creeks, culvert outlets and ditch checks, where flashy water scours a channel fast.

It is broken sandstone, limestone or syenite, and it holds a slope that smaller stone will not.

Step down for drainage. #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base.

No fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting in it.

Use 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where a washed stone with no fines is what you want. Drain Rock covers French drains, dry wells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

For a compacted base, SB-2 Base is the local standard: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller. Arkansas engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base.

Ask for it that way when you are working to a written spec.

Finish with the fine material. Screenings bed and joint pavers, flagstone and brick, and give a tight walking surface.

Washed Sand handles bedding, leveling and sand under slabs and pools.

Ground and Conditions in Maynard

Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year here. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring are the interruptions, and the late-summer dry spell is the easiest time to get real compaction.

The clay that fills joints in the limestone holds water at the surface after a long rain. That is the reason for a proper base depth: wet ground, not frost, is what moves an unbound surface.

Freezes come in runs from December into February, and shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring. Ice storms are a bigger nuisance than deep frost.

Frost depth has no statewide figure. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground, so confirm the local figure before footings go in.
