Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Paragould, AR

If you are planning a driveway, a parking pad or a shed pad in Paragould, gravel and aggregate delivery in Paragould, AR starts with the base. Arkansas Rock Supply sells SB-2 base and the rest of the bulk materials in one place.

SB-2 base is the dense graded crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller. On Crowley's Ridge ground, that locked surface is what keeps a drive from cutting apart.

Materials for Paragould Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Paragould job usually begins, and SB-2 base is the Arkansas name for it. It is a 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone that compacts into a firm pad for drives, parking areas, shed floors and pipe bedding.

When a job is being built to a written standard, the same material is written into the plans as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. That is how the spec reads, not a separate product.

Both come from the same SB-2 Base listing.

For a drive that needs a fresh wearing surface, Driveway Gravel goes over a compacted base. It is a surfacing material, and it works best when there is something solid underneath it.

Where a finer dense graded material that binds and compacts is wanted, Crusher Run is the tighter option. Arkansas reaches for SB-2 first, so treat crusher run as the alternative, not the default.

Washed stone handles the water side of a job. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size here, used in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same idea in a slightly smaller clean stone. It suits drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where no fines are wanted.

For a tight walking surface, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Screenings are the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, while Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work and paver joints.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and buyers here usually want it screened. Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas.

Decorative work runs on rounded stone. Arkansas River Rock fills decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Ground and Conditions in Paragould

Paragould sits on Crowley's Ridge, and the ridge behaves differently from the flat ground on either side. Water runs off it rather than standing on it.

The ground here is deep wind-blown loess, up to about 50 feet of it, over Tertiary sand, gravel and clay. That loess is fertile and well drained, and it cuts cleanly.

It also slumps and gullies wherever it is left bare. A steep cut, a drive bank or a hollow on the ridge erodes fast once rain gets into it.

Loess takes rain readily until it saturates, then sheds the rest down road cuts and hollows onto the plain below. That is why ridge cuts, ditches and outlets get armored rather than left open.

For a drive or pad, the practical answer is a base that compacts and a surface that sheds water away from the edge. SB-2 base locks up under a roller and gives you that firm layer.

Work runs all year here, with winter and spring rain the real limit. A freshly cut loess slope wants armoring or planting before the next heavy rain, not after it.

Winters are short and mild, with shallow frost and the occasional ice storm. No statewide frost depth is published, and each Arkansas jurisdiction sets its own frost line for exterior footings.

On the ridge, the deciding factor is usually the stability of the loess cut rather than cold. Wet ground, not frost, is the reason a proper base depth matters here.
