Bulk Material Delivery in Scotland, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Scotland, AR, and the first thing to settle is how much you need. Each product page carries a calculator, and quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.

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

Materials for Scotland Projects

A lot of work around here comes down to moving water away from a structure. That means washed stone, French drains, drywells and downspout runs, and the size you pick matters more than the volume you buy.

Coarse washed stone

#4 Crushed Stone is the heavy end. Use it in trench bottoms, at construction entrances, and anywhere soft ground needs stabilizing before anything finer goes over it.

#57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size in Arkansas. It goes into French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is 3/4 inch clean limestone with no fines. It suits drainage beds, construction entrances, drive surfacing and any spot where a washed stone is wanted.

One size down, #67 Stone covers drainage and concrete work. #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone handle fine drainage, tight joints and close bedding around pipe.

Base, bedding and finishes

SB-2 Base is the same material Arkansas cities and engineers write into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base. Use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Crusher run is the finer dense-graded option where a material that binds and compacts is wanted.

Screenings are the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines. They bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints, and give a tight walking surface.

For beds and borders, Arkansas River Rock and Large River Rock handle decorative work and dry creek beds. RipRap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs, and Mason Sand serves brick, block and paver joints.

Delivery to Scotland and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile.

Scotland sits in Van Buren County, and coverage runs out to Clinton, Fairfield Bay, Dennard, Shirley and Bee Branch. Ordering is the whole process: no counter to visit and no material staged for pickup.

Ground and Conditions in Scotland

Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock, so slopes stay wet and slick while the sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow. A steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it.

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.

That is why a proper base course matters more than a thin top dressing on this ground.

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

Cold here is real by Arkansas standards, with ice storms and repeated freeze-thaw on shaded north-facing slopes that stay frozen hours longer than the valleys below.

No statewide frost depth figure is published. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line, and shaded mountain slopes hold frost longest, so ask the county or city building official for the local number.
