Bulk Material Delivery in Pleasant Plains, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Pleasant Plains, AR. This is karst country, and water here leaves through the rock rather than across it.

That shapes what you order. SB-2 base builds the pads and drives, and coarse stone answers the slopes, swales and creek banks that take the runoff.

Materials for Pleasant Plains Projects

Start with the big angular stone when the problem is water moving fast or ground giving way. Size down only when the job gets finer.

RipRap is the heavy end. Use it on steep bank, culvert outlets, ditch checks and slope armoring where the stone has to stay put under moving water.

#4 Crushed Stone and Railroad Ballast bridge the gap between armor and drainage. Both give you a large angular stone with open void space, so water passes and soft ground firms up.

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size. French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and a clean top over a compacted base all take it.

Then come the base and surface materials. SB-2 base is the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone that locks up under a roller, and it is your choice for driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

When you are working to a written standard, that same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. Crusher Run covers the same work in a finer dense-graded size.

For a finished surface, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Arkansas River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel handle decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site. Have the spot clear and reachable, and the stone lands where the truck can back in.

Ground and Conditions in Pleasant Plains

Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year on the Ozark Plateaus. Winter cold snaps and a wet spring are the interruptions, and the late-summer dry spell is the easiest window to get real compaction.

The ground is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone, with chert gravel through the profile and rock close to the surface on side slopes.

Water drops away fast through sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams. The residual clay filling the joints still holds water at the surface after a long rain.

That is why wet ground, not frost, is the reason a proper base goes down here. Build the pad up out of the wet with Fill Dirt before any base course goes on top.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks in heavy spring rain. Coarse stone on those edges is what holds them.
