Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Pea Ridge, AR

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Pea Ridge, AR, start with SB-2 base. Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk stone, sand and soil by the ton.

This is karst country. Water drops through sinkholes and fractured limestone instead of running off, and the clay left in the joints holds it at the surface after a long rain.

Build the pad and the base for that.

Materials for Pea Ridge Projects

Raising grade is the first job on most sloped lots here. Fill dirt builds a pad up out of the wet before any base course goes on, and it lets you set a level building pad on ground that falls away.

Over that fill, 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.

Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and pipe bedding.

When a job is written to a spec, engineers and cities here call the same material Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. Same stone, same use, the name that appears on the plan.

For a driveway, driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. SB-2 Base goes underneath as the structural layer.

For a patio or walkway, screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Screenings are the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines, and they give a tight walking surface.

Walkway gravel covers garden paths and side yards that need a finer surface than a drive.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

It carries no fines, so water moves through it.

For soil, fill dirt raises low ground and builds pads. Top Soil finishes lawns and beds, and buyers here usually want it screened.

Ground and Conditions in Pea Ridge

The soil across the Ozark Plateaus is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone. Chert gravel runs right through the profile, and rock or rubble sits close to the surface on side slopes.

That shallow rock cuts both ways. It gives you a firm bottom, but the chert and clay above it move when water gets in.

An under-built base on that ground pumps and ruts.

Water here leaves through the rock rather than across it. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams take runoff underground fast.

The residual clay filling the joints still holds water at the surface after a long rain, so a pad needs to shed water away from its edges.

Erosion follows the steep hollow slopes and the flashy streams. Heavy spring rain scours drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks.

Rip rap and clean stone at those outlets slow it down.

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.

Freezes come in runs from December into February, and shallow freeze-thaw lifts loose gravel and heaves unbound surfaces before spring. Ice storms cause more trouble than deep frost.

No statewide frost figure is published, and each jurisdiction sets its own frost line, so confirm the local figure before footings go in.

Questions From Pea Ridge Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Pea Ridge?

SB-2 base under the bedding, then screenings on top. The SB-2 is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller and carries the load.

Screenings bed the pavers themselves and fill the joints. If the plan cites a spec, that base layer may be written as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course.
