Rip Rap, Stone and Soil Delivery in Mountain Pine, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mountain Pine, AR. SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material here, 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 and building pads and pipe bedding. The ground in the Ouachita Mountains is stony, gravelly loam over sandstone, shale and chert, so a pad needs a base that binds.

Materials for Mountain Pine Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection wants coarse stone. On ground that sheds water off the ridges fast, the stone at the bottom of a cut does the holding.

RipRap is the heavy end of that work. It armors banks and slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks, and it is usually broken sandstone, limestone or syenite.

#4 Crushed Stone is angular and open. It suits heavy drainage, construction entrances, trench bottoms and stabilizing soft ground.

#57 Limestone is the washed workhorse size. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is a washed stone with no fines. Use it for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

SB-2 Base is the base course itself. Cities and engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base.

Below that, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints. Arkansas River Rock and Large River Rock cover decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds, where a rounded stone is wanted.

Delivery to Mountain Pine and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick a delivery date at checkout. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile.

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

Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. Bulk loads are heavy, so firm ground and room to turn matter more than a short run from the road.

Ground and Conditions in Mountain Pine

Work runs year round here. Winter ice and a wet spring are the limits, and once the rocky ground drains it compacts well and holds.

Across the Ouachita Mountains, tilted shale and chert beds shed water off the ridges quickly. That flow funnels into narrow valleys, so drives and pads take concentrated water arriving from above.

Fast ridge runoff and flashy streams are the erosion driver, and steep drive cuts lose surfacing after a big storm. RipRap and #4 stone at the outlets and along the cut face are what slow that down.

Cold snaps and ice storms matter more than a long frozen season. North facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet, which is when a gravel drive ruts most easily.

No statewide frost depth figure is published. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.

Rock is often close enough to the surface that bearing, not frost, sets the footing.
