Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Oxford, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Oxford, AR. Water on the Ozark Plateaus leaves through the rock instead of running across it, so sinkholes and losing streams take runoff underground fast.

That shapes what you place and where. SB-2 base goes under anything that has to stay flat and firm, and a washed stone handles the water that disappears into the ground.

Materials for Oxford Projects

Start with the project, then pick the stone. Decorative work, beds and dry creek beds each want a different material, and ground cover is its own decision.

Beds, Borders and Dry Creek Beds

Arkansas River Rock is rounded, washed gravel that suits decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads. Local suppliers say river gravel or creek gravel just as often.

Large River Rock takes the heavier decorative work and light bank protection where a rounded stone is wanted. For a finer ground cover, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage.

Driveways, Pads and Base

SB-2 Base is the standard Arkansas base: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller. Engineers write the same material into street and parking standards as Class 7 base.

Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county-road properties.

Drainage and Water

#57 Limestone is a washed stone for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and a clean top over a compacted base. RipRap armors banks and slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and give a tight walking surface. Washed Sand handles bedding and leveling under slabs and pools.

Ground and Conditions in Oxford

Ozark Plateaus ground is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel right through the profile. On side slopes, rock or rubble sits close to the surface.

That matters because the residual clay filling the joints holds water at the surface after a long rain. An under-built base on that ground moves, so the base course has to be right before anything goes on top.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks in heavy spring rain. RipRap and a washed drainage stone are the answer on those edges.

Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year here. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring are the interruptions, and the late-summer dry spell is the easiest time to get real compaction.

This is the coldest corner of Arkansas. Freezes come in runs from December into February, and shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring.
