Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Pencil Bluff, AR

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Pencil Bluff, AR online, by the ton or by the yard. Arkansas Rock Supply delivers SB-2 base, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock to Montgomery County addresses.

Ground here is stony, gravelly loam over sandstone, shale and chert, so a drive needs a base that locks up rather than one that shifts on rock fragments.

Materials for Pencil Bluff Projects

Start with the base. SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. Cities and engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base, or Class 7 aggregate base course.

Use that name when you are working to a written spec.

For a finer dense-graded material that binds and compacts, crusher run does the same work in a tighter size. Arkansas quarries also sell it as Class 8 base, or 1 inch minus base.

Surfacing goes on top of a compacted base. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county-road properties.

Walkway Gravel gives garden paths, side yards and walkways a finer, walkable surface than a drive takes.

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

3/4" Crushed Stone is a washed stone with no fines, for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

Sand beds and levels. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand or river sand, goes under slabs and pools.

Mason Sand is for brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Soil and decorative rock round out a site. Top Soil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Arkansas River Rock, which suppliers here also call river gravel or creek gravel, fills decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Pencil Bluff

Water arrives from above. Across the Ouachita Mountains, tilted shale and chert beds shed rain off the ridges fast and funnel it into narrow valleys.

A drive or pad here takes concentrated flow running onto it, not just the rain that lands on it.

That shapes the base. SB-2 base compacts well once the rocky ground under it drains, and the fines in it bind the stone together.

On a steep cut, fast runoff strips surfacing after a big storm, so the drainage layer matters as much as the depth.

Clean washed stone is the drainage layer. #57 limestone or 3/4 inch clean limestone under a French drain, a downspout run or a foundation drain moves water instead of holding it.

Screenings and other fines-bearing material do the opposite, so keep them for bedding and walking surfaces.

Winter ice and a wet spring set the working limits. North-facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet, which is when a gravel drive ruts most easily.

No statewide frost figure is published; the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line, and rock is often close enough to the surface here that bearing, not frost, sets footing depth.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. A bulk load needs firm ground, room to tip, and a clear path in.

Soft ground after a wet spell is the usual reason a site will not take a loaded truck.
