3/4 Inch Clean Limestone, Stone and Soil Delivery in Paron, AR

Need gravel and aggregate delivery in Paron, AR for a wet spot that will not dry out? Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, and the answer usually starts with washed stone.

SB-2 base is the local name for the compacted base that drives and pads are built on. In the Ouachita Mountains, water arrives from above and has to go somewhere.

Materials for Paron Projects

Folded sandstone, shale and chert shed water off the ridges fast, and a lot of it ends up at the bottom of a drive or against a foundation. Washed stone is how you move that water away instead of letting it sit.

Start coarse. #4 Crushed Stone is a heavy washed stone for trench bottoms and soft ground that needs stabilizing before anything else goes in.

Washed Stone for Drainage

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size here. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate, and it makes a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same kind of clean, no-fines stone in a slightly different size. Use it for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

Drain Rock covers dry wells and downspout runs.

For tighter work, #67 Stone is one size down from #57. #8 Crushed Stone fits fine drainage and paver joints, and #89 Crushed Stone handles close bedding and the tightest joints.

Base, Sand and Soil

Under all of it, SB-2 Base is the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone that locks up under a roller. When a job is written to a standard, the same material shows up as Class 7 base.

Crusher Run is the finer dense-graded option.

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints. Washed Sand levels under slabs and pools, while Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work.

For lawns and beds, Top Soil comes screened, Garden Soil fills raised beds, and Fill Dirt raises low ground before a base course goes on. Shredded Mulch holds moisture through summer and keeps bare soil from washing.

Rounded decorative stone is also available, including 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for walkways and dog runs, and Arkansas River Rock for dry creek beds and borders.

Delivery to Paron and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you buy.

A dump truck then tips your material on site.

Paron sits in Saline County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Benton, Bryant, Alexander, Bauxite and Traskwood. Bulk loads arrive as one tipped pile, so it helps to have the drop spot clear before the truck gets there.

Ground and Conditions in Paron

Work here runs year-round. Winter ice and a wet spring are the limits, and once the rocky ground drains it compacts well and holds.

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

Bearing, not frost, is often what sets a footing depth here.

Tilted shale and chert beds shed water off the ridges quickly and funnel it into narrow valleys. That means drives and pads take concentrated flow arriving from above, not just the rain that lands on them.

Fast ridge runoff also strips surfacing off steep drive cuts after a big storm.

North-facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet, which is when a gravel drive ruts most easily. Plan the delivery for when the ground is workable, and put a drainage layer under the surfacing rather than relying on the surface alone.
