Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Rison, AR

If you are planning a driveway, a patio base or a drainage run, gravel and aggregate delivery in Rison, AR starts with the right material. Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk stone, sand and soil by the ton or yard and drops it at your site.

For a drive or pad, that usually means SB-2 base.

Rison sits on the West Gulf Coastal Plain, where sandy topsoil rests over a dense clay subsoil. Water soaks in, perches and then moves sideways, which shapes what you put on the ground.

Materials for Rison Projects

Grading and bed prep come before anything hard goes down. Screened topsoil and garden soil build the planting side, and fill dirt brings low ground up so a base course has something to sit on.

Topsoil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep over sandy upland ground. Garden soil is blended for raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas.

Where a pad has to come up out of wet ground, fill dirt goes in first.

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

Cities and engineers write the same material into street and sidewalk standards as Class 7 base.

Washed stone handles water. #57 limestone drains French drains, foundation and pipe runs, and 3/4 inch clean limestone works for drainage beds and construction entrances.

Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints.

Sand and decorative stone round out a job. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, mason sand serves brick, block and paver joints, and Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock cover walkways, beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Rison

Start with where the water goes. Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, sandy topsoil sits on dense clay, so rain soaks in, perches on the clay and then runs sideways.

Flat ground holds that water table up for days after a heavy storm.

That sideways movement is why a drainage layer matters more than a fast surface. A clean washed stone like #57 limestone or drain rock gives perched water somewhere to travel instead of pooling under a slab.

Bare sand also cuts and gullies under intense Gulf rainfall. Thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets, so rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and ditch checks where the flow concentrates.

Work runs all year here. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the real limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.

The mildest winters in the state mean freezes are short and shallow, and an ice storm matters far more than frost depth ever will.

Questions About Ordering in Rison

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Rison?

Yes. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and you choose the amount when you place the order online.

Each product page has a calculator you can use before checkout. Pick a delivery date, and a dump truck tips the load at your site in Rison.

What stone should I use for drainage in Rison?

Use a clean washed stone with no fines. #57 limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and 3/4 inch clean limestone suits drainage beds and construction entrances.

Both let water move instead of trapping it, which matters where sandy topsoil perches water on clay.
