Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Newport, AR

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Newport, AR by the ton or the yard and let a dump truck tip it on site. Arkansas Rock Supply sells SB-2 base and the washed stone, sand and soil that go with it.

Newport sits in Jackson County on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where deep alluvial silt loam and heavy clay ground sets the rules for every drive, pad and drainage job.

Materials for Newport Projects

Start with base. SB-2 base is the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone Arkansas crews build drives, parking pads and shed pads on.

The fines stay in so it locks up under a roller.

When a job is written to a spec, the same material goes in as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. Same stone, same use, named the way an engineer draws it.

Surfacing is the other half of the work. Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or caps a compacted base on rural and county-road property.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate.

3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds and construction entrances where no fines are wanted.

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Washed sand and mason sand cover leveling, slabs and block work.

Screened top soil and garden soil rebuild ground after grading, and shredded mulch holds moisture through a Delta summer.

Ground and Conditions in Newport

Water drives every decision here. Ground on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain is flat, the water table runs high, and the clay barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls. Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold for days after a storm.

That standing water is why a base course matters more than a pretty surface. Build the pad up out of the wet with fill dirt first, then put SB-2 base on top of dry, compacted ground.

Bare cropland silt sheets off in a thunderstorm, and ditch and bayou banks slough. Rip rap armor on a slope or culvert outlet holds that bank where gravel alone will not.

Work runs all year. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Winters are short and mild, and frost is shallow here. Saturated clay, not frost, is what ruts a drive when a loaded truck rolls across it in January.
