Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Royal, AR

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Royal, AR by the ton or by the yard. Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk SB-2 base, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock across Garland County.

This is stony, gravelly ground over sandstone, shale and chert. That shapes what you put on top of it, and how much of it you need.

Materials for Royal Projects

SB-2 base is the 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.

Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. When a job is written to a standard, the same material appears as Class 7 base, or Class 7 aggregate base course.

Surfacing an existing drive is a separate job from building a base. Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base on rural and county-road properties.

For a finer dense-graded material that binds and compacts, look at Crusher Run. Arkansas usually reaches for SB-2 first, but crusher run works the same drives and pads in a tighter size.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size here, 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. It goes into drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

Sand beds and levels. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand or river sand, is used under slabs and pools and for bedding and leveling.

Mason Sand is for brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play areas.

Soil and mulch finish the job. Top Soil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas.

Fill Dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before a base course goes on. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings.

Decorative stone is rounded and washed. Arkansas River Rock goes in beds, borders and dry creek beds, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs.

Ground and Conditions in Royal

Across the Ouachita Mountains, tilted shale and chert beds shed water off the ridges fast. That water funnels into the narrow valleys between them.

So a drive or pad here takes concentrated flow arriving from above it, not just the rain that lands on it. Plan for water before you plan the surface.

Ridge runoff is quick and the streams run flashy. Steep drive cuts lose surfacing after every big storm.

That is the case for a compacted base under the wearing course. SB-2 base is built to lock up and hold, which is what a slope needs.

Where a slope keeps shedding water, a washed stone drainage layer moves it instead of trapping it. Drain Rock and #57 Limestone both work in French drains and downspout runs.

Rip rap armors banks and slopes where a rounded stone will not hold. It is broken sandstone, limestone or syenite, used on creek and lake edges, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Work runs year round here. Winter ice and a wet spring are the limits.

North-facing slopes hold frost longest and thaw wet. That is when a gravel drive ruts most easily, so the base matters more than the top inch.

Once the rocky ground drains, it compacts well and holds. Screening the soil first helps too, since rock fragments run through the profile.
