Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Oden, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Oden, AR, with bulk loads sold by the ton. 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.

Oden sits in Montgomery County in the Ouachita Mountains, where stony, gravelly loam over folded sandstone, shale and chert puts rock fragments through the soil profile.

Delivery to Oden and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in Oden.

Each product page carries a calculator if you need help with quantity. Bulk delivery covers Oden and the rest of Montgomery County, including Mount Ida, Norman, Caddo Gap, Pencil Bluff and Sims.

Plan for a spot the truck can reach and tip. The driver does not spread the load or split it between piles, so the pile lands where the truck can back in.

Materials for Oden Projects

Fill and sub-base carry a lot of the work here, because so many projects start by raising grade or building a pad up out of the wet. Fill dirt brings low ground up to level before anything else goes down.

Once the pad is up, SB-2 base goes on top as the compacted layer under a drive, a parking pad or a building slab. The same material is written into Arkansas street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

SB-2 Base covers both.

For a driveway, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county-road property. Crusher Run is a finer dense-graded material that binds and compacts, and Class 8 base is the same idea in a tighter 1 inch minus size.

For a patio or paver walk, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and leave a tight walking surface. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is a washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate. Drain Rock serves dry wells and downspout runs, and RipRap armors banks, slopes and culvert outlets.

Lawns and beds take Top Soil for grading and bed prep, Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas, and Shredded Mulch to hold moisture through the summer.

Ground and Conditions in Oden

The ground across the Ouachita Mountains is stony, gravelly loam over folded sandstone, shale, chert and novaculite, with rock fragments through the profile. Soils run shallow on the long east-west ridges and deeper in the valleys between them.

Tilted shale and chert beds shed water off the ridges fast and funnel it into narrow valleys. A drive or pad in Oden takes concentrated flow arriving from above, not just the rain that lands on it.

That is why an under-built base shows up so quickly here. If the pad is not raised and the sub-base is not built to carry the load, water finds the soft spots and the surfacing moves.

Winter ice and a wet spring set the working limits, and the rocky ground drains and compacts well once it does. North-facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet, which is when a gravel drive ruts most easily.

Questions About Material in Oden

What is the best base under pavers in Oden?

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill the joints and give a tight walking surface. Under them, SB-2 base is the compacted layer that carries the load, and the same dense-graded stone is specified as Class 7 base in Arkansas street and sidewalk standards.

The fines left in SB-2 are what let it lock up under a roller.
