3/4 Inch Clean Limestone Delivery for St. Charles, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in St. Charles, AR.

The base material here is SB-2 base, a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.

St. Charles sits in Arkansas County on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is heavy clay that barely takes water.

That shapes what you order and how you build on it.

Delivery to St. Charles and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick your material, and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load before you check out.

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the load in one pile at your site. Bulk delivery covers St.

Charles and the rest of Arkansas County, including Stuttgart, DeWitt, Gillett, Almyra and Humphrey.

Have the spot for the pile ready before the truck arrives. Once it is tipped, the material stays where it lands.

Materials for St. Charles Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for most often. Delta clay holds water, so a pad built up out of the wet needs fill first and a compacted base on top of it.

For a building pad or a low lot, start with Fill Dirt to bring the grade up. Then cap it with SB-2 base, sold as SB-2 Base, which compacts into a hard, tight surface.

If you are working to a written standard, that same material is specified as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. Ask for it by the spec name and the yard knows what you mean.

For a driveway, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Pair it with SB-2 base underneath on soft ground.

For a patio, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick. Screenings are the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines, and they pack tight for a walking surface.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is a washed stone with no fines. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

Ground and Conditions in St. Charles

The Mississippi Alluvial Plain is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay, the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for. Rain stands where it falls because the clay barely takes water.

Flat ground and a high water table mean field ditches and bayous drain slowly. Water can sit for days after a storm, and it works its way under anything built on bare clay.

That is why an under-built base fails here. A pad or drive needs fill to raise it out of the wet, then a dense-graded base that compacts and sheds water instead of holding it.

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, so frost is shallow. The clay stays wet enough through the winter that a loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved at all.
