Bulk Material Delivery in Rudy, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Rudy, AR to driveways, pads and drainage work. If you are building a base, SB-2 base is the Arkansas name to order.

This is stony, acid silt loam and clay ground over sandstone and shale. Thin ridge soil and steep slopes change how deep a base needs to go.

Materials for Rudy Projects

Steep ground sheds water fast, so slope, swale and bank protection come first here. Coarse stone does that work.

Finer material builds the surfaces you walk and park on.

Coarse Stone for Slopes and Banks

RipRap is broken sandstone, limestone or syenite sized for bank and slope armoring. It holds creek edges, culvert outlets and ditch checks where runoff arrives with force.

Railroad Ballast is a large angular stone for severe drainage and heavy hard standing. It also stabilizes soft ground at a trench bottom.

#4 Crushed Stone is heavy drainage stone for trench bottoms and construction entrances. It works where water moves in volume.

Washed Stone for Drainage

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size in Arkansas. It goes into French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate.

3/4" Crushed Stone is a washed stone with no fines. Use it in drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

Drain Rock, also called filter rock, suits French drains, dry wells and downspout runs. It stays open so water passes through.

Base, Beds and Surface Material

SB-2 Base is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller. It carries driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding.

Arkansas cities and engineers write the same material into street and sidewalk standards as Class 7 base. Use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Top Soil finishes lawns and beds over this cherty upland ground.

Delivery to Rudy and the Surrounding Area

Rudy sits in Crawford County, and delivery covers the town and the roads around it. Van Buren, Alma, Mulberry, Cedarville and Mountainburg are all inside the same county coverage.

You order online. Quantities are sold by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to help you size the load.

Pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at your site, so leave room for the truck to reach the spot you want it dropped.

Ground and Conditions in Rudy

Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock, so slopes stay wet and slick. 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. Slope length and gradient drive the runoff that cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom.

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

Cold here brings ice storms and repeated freeze-thaw on shaded north-facing slopes. No statewide frost depth is published; the Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line, so ask the county or city building official for the local number.

Questions About Stone in Rudy

What stone should I use for drainage in Rudy?

Washed stone stays open and lets water move. #57 limestone and 3/4 inch clean limestone both work in French drains, foundation drains and drainage beds.

For a dry well or downspout run, drain rock, also called filter rock, is the size to look at. Keep fines out of a drainage layer, because a material that carries fines will not pass water the way clean stone does.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with room for a dump truck to get in and out. The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick that spot before the delivery date.

Order your quantity by the ton or yard and use the calculator on the product page if you need to size it. Then choose your delivery date at checkout.
