SB-2 Base Delivery for Perryville, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Perryville, AR. The base material here is SB-2 base, the dense graded crushed stone Arkansas crews use under drives and pads.

It locks up under a roller because the fines stay in the mix. That matters on ground with rock fragments already through the profile.

Delivery to Perryville and the Surrounding Area

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

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on site in one pile. Perryville sits in Perry County, and delivery covers the city and the surrounding area.

That includes Bigelow, Perry, Houston, Casa and Adona. Rural properties and county road frontage are part of the same coverage.

Materials for Perryville Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work that shapes most of this page. Fill and sub-base go in first, then the surface material sits on top of what you built.

Fill and Sub-Base

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet. It goes down before any base course, so the pad carries what comes after it.

SB-2 Base is the compacted layer over that fill. Cities and engineers write the same material into street and parking standards as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Crusher Run is a finer dense graded material that binds and compacts, for drives and pads where a tighter size is wanted.

Driveways and Pads

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on rural and county road properties.

#57 Limestone is a washed stone with no fines. It works as a clean top over a compacted base and in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the other washed size, for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

Patios, Walkways and Beds

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints. The same material gives a tight walking surface on a path.

Walkway Gravel is a finer, walkable surface for garden paths and side yards.

Arkansas River Rock covers decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads. Suppliers here say river gravel or creek gravel just as often.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Ground and Conditions in Perryville

Ground across the Ouachita Mountains is stony, gravelly loam over folded sandstone, shale, chert and novaculite. Rock fragments run through the profile, and soils are shallow on the long east-west ridges.

Valley ground between those ridges is deeper and more workable. On a ridge, an under-built base shows up fast because there is less soil to work with.

Tilted shale and chert beds shed water off the ridges quickly and funnel it into narrow valleys. A drive or pad takes concentrated flow arriving from above, not just the rain that lands on it.

Ridge runoff is fast and streams run flashy, and steep drive cuts lose surfacing after a big storm. That is why the fill layer and the base layer both have to be right before anything goes on top.

Work runs year round, with winter ice and a wet spring as the limits. Once the rocky ground drains it compacts well and holds.

Cold snaps and ice storms matter more here than a long frozen season. North-facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet, which is when a gravel drive ruts most easily.

No statewide frost depth is published. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.

Rock is often close enough to the surface here that bearing, not frost, sets the footing. That is a footing rule, not a reason to put a gravel base below the frost line.
