Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in St. Paul, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in St. Paul, AR, and the ground here sets the order.

Across the Boston Mountains the slopes carry stony, acid silt loam over sandstone and shale, with rock benches and thin soil on the ridges.

That is why SB-2 base goes down before anything else on a pad or a drive. The fines stay in the mix so it locks up under a roller.

Delivery to St. Paul and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout, and you choose a delivery date there.

A dump truck then tips the material on site in St. Paul.

Bulk loads reach sites in Madison County, including Huntsville, Wesley, Kingston, Hindsville and Combs. Steep ground is worth thinking about before the truck arrives.

A driver tips one pile, so the spot you leave open is where the material stays.

Materials for St. Paul Projects

Raising grade is the first job on a sloped lot, and fill and sub-base do that work. Fill dirt builds a pad up out of the wet before any base course goes on.

Order it by the yard and let the truck tip it where the pad will sit.

Once the grade is up, SB-2 base is the layer that carries the load. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it compacts into a firm surface for a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad.

Where a written standard applies, the same material is specified as Class 7 aggregate base course. Use that name when you are building to a plan for a sidewalk or a parking area.

Crusher run covers the same ground in a finer dense-graded size.

For a driveway, start with fill if the ground is low, then SB-2 base, then a top course of driveway gravel if you want a finer running surface.

For a patio or a walkway, screenings bed the pavers and fill the joints. They pack tight and give you a firm walking surface, and they are the Arkansas name for crusher fines.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed size for French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding. It has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting.

Ground and Conditions in St. Paul

Shale beds perch water above the rock, so slopes across the Boston Mountains stay wet and slick. The sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow.

A steep gravel drive there takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it.

That is the argument for a real base depth and a drainage layer under the surfacing. Water that cannot get out of the base will work at it until the surface moves.

An under-built base fails from the bottom up.

Erosion follows slope length and gradient. Runoff on a steep hollow drive cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

Rip rap armors banks and culvert outlets where that water leaves the property.

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

Shaded north-facing slopes hold frost longest, so ask the Madison County building official for the local frost line before you set exterior footings.

Questions About Material in St. Paul

What is the best base under pavers in St. Paul?

SB-2 base is the compacted layer under the bedding, and screenings bed the pavers themselves. The screenings are the Arkansas name for crusher fines, and they pack tight for a firm walking surface.

On ground that stays wet, put a drainage layer of #57 limestone below the base so water has somewhere to go.
