Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Midway, AR

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Midway, AR runs almost all year. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring are the interruptions, and the late-summer dry spell is the easiest window to get real compaction.

Arkansas Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Baxter County. SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base here: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.

Materials for Midway Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil. Screened Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep over the cherty upland ground here.

Buyers in Arkansas usually want it screened, so the rock and root matter is out before it lands.

Garden Soil goes into raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas. It is a planting medium, not a fill, and it holds moisture through a dry Ozark summer.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on. That order matters on this ground, where water sits in the clay after a long rain.

Once the grade is set, base and stone take over. SB-2 base, also written SB2 or base stone, is the dense-graded material for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

Cities and engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Above a compacted base, washed stone does the drainage work. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size in Arkansas, used for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone suits drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where a washed stone with no fines is wanted.

For a tight walking surface, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and leave a firm path. Sand rounds out the list: Washed Sand for bedding, leveling and sand under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand for brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Ground and Conditions in Midway

Across the Ozark Plateaus, water leaves through the rock rather than across it. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams take runoff underground fast.

What is left behind is the problem. Residual clay filling the joints in the limestone holds water at the surface after a long rain, and the cherty clay loam over it drains unevenly.

That is why a proper base depth matters more here than frost does. Wet ground, not cold, is the Arkansas reason to build a base that will hold up under a loaded truck.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders and culvert outlets when heavy spring rain arrives.

Rip rap armors banks and slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks where a rounded stone will not hold.

Timing the work is straightforward. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring interrupt the schedule, and shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring.

The late-summer dry spell is the easiest time to get real compaction.
