Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Quitman, AR

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Quitman, AR, the job usually starts with a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad that needs a base under it. Arkansas Rock Supply sells that material in bulk and delivers it by the ton.

SB-2 base is the Arkansas base stone most of those jobs call for first. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Materials for Quitman Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first because everything else sits on top of them. SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material, and it goes under drives, parking pads, building pads and pipe bedding.

When you are working to a written standard, the same material shows up as Class 7 base, or Class 7 aggregate base course. That is the name Arkansas cities and engineers write into street, sidewalk and parking specs.

SB-2 Base is what you order for either.

If you want a finer dense-graded material that binds and compacts, look at Crusher Run. Arkansas reaches for SB-2 first, but crusher run has its place on drives and pads.

For the surface layer, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base on rural and county-road properties. Walkway Gravel gives paths and side yards a finer, walkable surface than a drive takes.

Washed stone handles the water side of a project. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size, 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, so it suits drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing. Screenings, which Arkansas yards also call limestone fines or crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Sand and soil round out a site. Washed Sand handles bedding, leveling and sand under slabs and pools.

Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and most Arkansas buyers want it screened. Garden Soil fills raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas.

For decorative work, Arkansas River Rock goes into beds, borders, dry creek beds and splash pads. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage.

Ground and Conditions in Quitman

Water is the driver on Boston Mountains ground. Shale beds perch water above the rock, so slopes stay wet and slick, while the sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow.

That means a steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it. Plan the drainage before you plan the surface.

Slope length and gradient drive the erosion. Runoff on steep hollow drives cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

Soils here are stony, acid silt loam and clay over flat-lying sandstone and shale, with rock benches and ledges and loose colluvium on the steep slopes. Ridge soils are thin, and only the foot of a slope carries any depth.

Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the working limits. Grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall, once the slopes have dried out.

Cold comes with ice storms and repeated freeze-thaw on shaded north-facing slopes and drives that stay frozen hours longer than the valleys below. No statewide frost figure is published, and the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line, so ask the Cleburne County or city building official for the local number.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. Bulk material comes in a dump truck, so it needs room to pull in, tip and pull out without soft ground under the wheels.
