Order SB-2 Base and Crushed Stone in Sebastian County, AR
If you are planning a driveway, a parking pad or a drainage run, Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Sebastian County, AR. Start with SB-2 base, the dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in.
Across the Arkansas River Valley, deep silt loam and clay sit under the bottomland and terraces, and that ground holds water a long time. It changes what your base has to do.
Ground Conditions Across Sebastian County
In this part of the state, the ground is deep silt loam and clay on the river bottoms and terraces, with shale and sandstone uplands between them. A thin base over that clay tells on itself fast.
Clay subsoils let go of water slowly, so a base placed over wet ground stays soft and pumps under a truck or a loaded trailer. The load spreads instead of bridging.
The other side of it is the water table, which runs high near the river, plus backwater after heavy rain upstream. Drainage has to move water away, and a fines bearing material will not do that job.
Erosion comes from two directions: bank scour and flood flow along the river and its lakes, and sheet erosion off bare valley clay in spring thunderstorms. Bare ground loses its surface in one hard storm.
Work runs nearly all year here. A wet late winter and spring is the real limit, and summer heat can dry a surface before it can be rolled.
Winters are mild, broken by short hard freezes and the occasional ice storm. Frost action is shallow, but wet clay subgrade still softens and pumps under traffic all winter.
Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, and no statewide figure is published.
Materials Delivered in Sebastian County
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.
Class 7 is the grading sold as SB-2, and Class 8 is the 1 inch version.
Cities and counties write Class 7 into their own street, sidewalk and parking standards, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.
Order SB-2 Base for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. Crusher run, or dense graded base, does the same work in a finer size and stays a body copy option here.
For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate. 3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where no fines are wanted.
Screenings, also called limestone fines or crusher fines, bed and joint pavers, flagstone and brick and leave a tight walking surface.
Delivery Across Sebastian County
You order online, pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on site. Arkansas Rock Supply delivers to Fort Smith, Greenwood, Barling, Lavaca, Mansfield, Hackett, Hartford and Huntington.
Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. If you are not sure which unit fits your job, each product page has a calculator, and it is the fastest way to settle the quantity before you order.
A bulk delivery arrives as one tipped pile, so pick the spot on your property where the material should land. From there you move it to where it is going.
Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?
Both are real ordering units. Aggregate is often sold by the ton because weight is what a truck carries, while sand, soil and mulch are commonly ordered by the cubic yard because volume is easier to picture on the ground.
Either way, size the load before you order. Each product page has a calculator, and it settles the quantity question.
Pick whichever unit your product page offers and order from there.
Which stone is best for drainage in Sebastian County?
Use washed stone with no fines. #57 limestone is the usual choice for French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding, and 3/4 inch clean limestone works for drainage beds and construction entrances.
For dry wells and downspout runs, drain rock is the same idea in a filter rock size. Fines bearing base material is not a drainage product.
It holds water instead of passing it.
What do I need to have ready for a bulk delivery?
Have the drop spot clear and reachable by a dump truck, with room for the truck to tip the load. A dump truck tips the material in one pile, so pick a spot that works for how you will move it afterward.
Order the right quantity by the ton or the yard first, and choose your delivery date at checkout. The load lands as one pile on site.
