Buy #57 Limestone in Plainview, AR

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Plainview, AR, the job usually starts with what goes under it. Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material for drives, pads, drainage runs and beds, and SB-2 base is the term to use when you order a base course here.

Plainview sits in Yell County, in the Arkansas River Valley, where deep silt loam and clay hold water longer than most builders expect.

Materials for Plainview Projects

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 builds driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding.

When a job is written to a spec, the same material shows up as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. That is the name engineers and cities put into street, sidewalk and parking standards, so order it that way if you are working from a set of plans.

Both come through the same product: SB-2 Base.

For the drive surface itself, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base on rural and county-road properties. Where you want a finer, walkable finish, Walkway Gravel suits garden paths and side yards.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone, also called 57 rock or clean rock, goes into French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same idea in a smaller washed size for drainage beds and construction entrances.

Sand and soil round out a site. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, beds and levels under slabs and pools, while Mason Sand works into brick, block and paver joints.

Top Soil comes screened for lawns and bed prep over the clay and chert here.

Screenings, the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints tight. For decorative work, Arkansas River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel cover borders, dry creek beds and walkways.

Ground and Conditions in Plainview

Across the Arkansas River Valley, water is the driver. Flat bottomland carries a high water table near the river, and clay subsoils let go of water slowly, so backwater after heavy rain upstream sits where you want a pad to be dry.

That changes what a base course has to do. A dense-graded material like SB-2 base with the fines left in binds and compacts into a surface that sheds traffic, while a clean washed stone lets water pass instead.

Pick by whether you are building on the ground or draining it.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bank scour and flood flow work on the Arkansas River and its lakes, and bare valley clay sheets off in spring thunderstorms.

Rip rap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks where moving water is the problem.

Work runs nearly all year here. A wet late winter and spring is the real limit, and summer heat can dry a surface before it can be rolled.

Mild winters bring short hard freezes and the occasional ice storm, but wet clay subgrade softens and pumps under traffic all winter, which does more damage to a base than cold does.

Pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the material in one pile on site.

Bulk delivery means having the drop spot ready. The truck needs room to reach the pile location and a surface that will take the weight, so keep the area clear before the load arrives.

The driver tips the load and leaves it where it lands.
