Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Roe, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Roe, AR, and the ground here sets the order. SB-2 base is the Arkansas name for the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone that locks up under a roller.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

Roe sits in Monroe County on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the soil runs to deep silt loam and heavy clay. That clay decides how much base a pad needs.

Delivery to Roe and the Surrounding Area

You order online. Pick the material, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and set a delivery date at checkout.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit. A dump truck then tips the material in one pile at the site.

Delivery covers Roe and the rest of Monroe County, including Brinkley, Clarendon and Holly Grove. Ground conditions are flat and the water table sits high, so a truck can rut soft ground after a wet stretch.

Materials for Roe Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for. Low, flat Delta ground holds water, so a pad usually starts with fill brought up before any base course goes down.

Start with Fill Dirt to raise a building pad, a shed pad or a driveway out of the wet. On top of that, SB-2 Base gives you the compacted layer that carries traffic.

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

For a driveway, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. For a patio or walkway, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is a washed stone with no fines, used in French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding. RipRap armors ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where water moves fast.

Ground and Conditions in Roe

The Mississippi Alluvial Plain is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. This is the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for.

Clay that barely takes water is the whole problem.

Rain stands where it falls. Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

A base built on saturated clay will not hold, no matter how thick it looks.

That is why fill and sub-base come first on most pads here. Bring the grade up, let it settle, then place SB-2 base on ground that is no longer sitting in water.

Crusher run works in the same role where a finer dense-graded material is wanted.

Work runs all year. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.

Winters are short and mild. Frost is shallow, but saturated clay will rut a loaded drive with no frost involved at all.
