Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Ozone, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in Ozone, AR, from SB-2 base for drives and pads to screened topsoil for lawns and beds. The ground here is stony silt loam and clay over sandstone and shale, so what you put on top of it decides how the project holds up.

Materials for Ozone Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Fill dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before anything else goes down.

Screened topsoil then covers that graded ground for lawns and bed prep.

For planting areas, garden soil goes into raised beds and vegetable gardens where roots need something looser than the native clay. Order Fill Dirt, Top Soil and Garden Soil by the ton or the yard.

Under a drive or a building pad, SB-2 base is the Arkansas standard. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Engineers and city standards often write the same material as Class 7 base. Order it as SB-2 Base.

For drainage, #57 limestone is the washed workhorse: French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base. #57 Limestone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting.

Sand and decorative stone round out a site. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, mason sand sets brick, block and paver joints, and river gravel covers decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Ozone

Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock. That keeps slopes wet and slick long after a storm, while the sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow.

A steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it. Slope length and gradient do the rest: runoff on a steep hollow drive cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom.

That is the case for a compacted base rather than a thin top dressing. Wet ground, not frost, is the reason a drive here needs proper base depth before any surfacing goes on.

Saturated shale slopes slump after long rain, so keep water moving away from the toe of a cut. A drainage layer of clean washed stone gives it somewhere to go.

Timing matters too. Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the limits, and grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall, once the slopes have dried out.

What stone should I use for drainage in Ozone?
