Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Norman, AR

Planning a driveway, a patio base, or a drainage run starts with picking the right material, and gravel and aggregate delivery in Norman, AR runs on the same choices a local contractor makes. Arkansas Rock Supply sells SB-2 base, crushed stone, sand, and soil in bulk.

This page leads with grading and bed prep, because rough ground here needs soil and fill before anything else goes down.

Materials for Norman Projects

Grading and bed prep start with the dirt. Top Soil is screened for lawns, regrading, and bed prep, and Garden Soil goes into raised beds and vegetable plots.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course ever goes down.

Once the grade is set, the base holds the load. SB-2 base, also called Class 7 base in written specs, is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in.

It locks up under a roller and carries driveways, parking pads, and shed pads. SB-2 Base is the material for that job.

Above the base, washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone goes into French drains, foundation drainage, and pipe bedding.

3/4" Crushed Stone works drainage beds and construction entrances where a clean stone with no fines is wanted.

Sand and decorative stone finish the work. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs, while Mason Sand handles brick, block, and paver joints.

Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and Arkansas River Rock covers decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Norman

Across the Ouachita Mountains, tilted shale and chert beds shed water off the ridges fast. That flow funnels into the narrow valleys below, so a drive or pad takes concentrated water arriving from above it rather than rain that lands on it.

Ground here is stony, gravelly loam over sandstone, shale, and chert, with rock fragments through the profile. Ridges stay shallow while valley ground works deeper and easier.

On a ridge, that shallow rock sets how much you can cut before you hit stone.

Fast ridge runoff and flashy streams push water hard, and steep drive cuts lose surfacing after every big storm. A clean washed stone in a drainage run moves that water away instead of letting it sit under the base.

SB-2 base compacts well once the rocky ground drains, and it holds.

Work runs year round here, with winter ice and a wet spring as the limits. Cold snaps and ice storms matter more than a long frozen season, and north-facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet.

That is when a gravel drive ruts most easily.

What stone should I use for drainage in Norman?

Washed stone with no fines is what moves water. #57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation drains, and pipe bedding.

For larger drainage beds and construction entrances, 3/4 inch clean limestone works well. Both are clean washed sizes that let water pass instead of trapping it.

SB-2 base is a compacted base material, not a drainage stone.
