Bulk Gravel Delivery to Mount Judea, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mount Judea, AR, with SB-2 base leading the list. That is the dense graded crushed stone this part of Arkansas builds drives and pads on.

You can also order washed stone, screenings, sand, topsoil and fill dirt. Slopes here shed water fast, so what you put under a paver or a slab matters as much as the surface.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Judea

Across the Boston Mountains, soils are stony silt loam and clay over sandstone and shale. Ridges stay thin and only the foot of a slope carries real depth.

Shale beds perch water above the rock, so slopes stay wet and slick while sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow. A steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it.

Slope length and gradient drive the erosion. Runoff on a steep hollow drive cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

That is the failure a thin base shows here: the surface stone migrates downhill and the pad loses its shape. The fix is a properly sized, well compacted base that spreads the load instead of letting water work under it.

Timing matters too. Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the limits, and grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall once the slopes have dried out.

Cold lingers on shaded north-facing slopes, which stay frozen hours longer than the valleys below. No statewide frost depth is published; each jurisdiction sets its own frost line, so ask the Newton County building official for the local number before you pour footings.

Materials for Mount Judea Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows first. Get the bedding right and the surface stays flat; get it wrong and every paver follows the ground down.

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. Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding.

When you are building to a written standard, that same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. Class 8 base is the 1 inch minus version of the same dense graded idea, and Crusher Run covers the finer end of that family.

Screenings, which Arkansas yards also call limestone fines or crusher fines, are the bedding layer under pavers, flagstone and brick. They also fill joints and give a tight walking surface.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand handles brick, block and stone work plus paver joints. Both come out of Arkansas river sand operations.

For drainage and clean stone, #57 Limestone works in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the washed size for drainage beds and drive surfacing where no fines are wanted.

Round stone has its place too. Arkansas River Rock covers decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds, and RipRap armors banks, slopes and culvert outlets.

Delivery to Mount Judea and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load before you check out.

Pick your delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the load on site. Mount Judea sits in Newton County, and deliveries also reach Jasper, Western Grove, Ponca, Deer and Compton.

Steep hollow drives are worth thinking about before the truck arrives. A firm, wide approach keeps the load where you want it, and a pad that has been built up out of the wet first gives the base course something solid to sit on.
