Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Stephens, AR

Rain hits bare ground here and moves it. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Stephens, AR starts by slowing that water down.

Arkansas Rock Supply hauls SB-2 base, washed stone, sand and soil to Ouachita County jobs.

Water soaks into the sandy topsoil, perches on the clay below, then runs sideways across the yard. Rounded stone and a clean drainage layer handle it better than bare dirt ever will.

Delivery to Stephens and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page carries a calculator, so you size the load before you check out.

Choose a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on your site in one pile. That covers Stephens and the rest of Ouachita County, including Camden, Bearden, Chidester and Louann.

Bulk loads come off the truck the same way whether you are dressing a bed or building a pad. Plan where the pile lands before the truck arrives, because the driver tips it and pulls out.

Materials for Stephens Projects

Decorative rock carries a yard here. Bed cover, dry creek beds and ground cover around trees all take rounded stone, and it holds up through a wet Arkansas spring without washing out.

Start with Arkansas River Rock for a decorative bed or a dry creek bed. It is rounded, washed gravel, and it moves water along the channel instead of letting it cut a gully.

For heavier decorative work and light bank protection, step up to Large River Rock. It suits the same dry creek beds and borders where a bigger stone reads better under shrubs.

Beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch. It holds moisture through the summer and keeps bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Where a walkable surface matters more than looks, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, dog runs and play areas. It is rounded and washed, so it drains and stays comfortable underfoot.

Not every project is decorative. A driveway or parking pad wants SB-2 Base, the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone Arkansas crews compact into a pad.

Engineers and cities write the same material into their standards as Class 7 base, so it covers both jobs.

Drainage work takes #57 Limestone for French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding. It is washed and open, so water passes through instead of sitting in it.

Ground and Conditions in Stephens

The ground here is deep, acid sandy loam and sandy clay over unconsolidated sand, gravel and clay. Across the West Gulf Coastal Plain, that sandy topsoil sits on a dense clay subsoil.

Water soaks in fast, perches on the clay, then runs sideways. Flat ground and slow bayous keep the water table high for days after heavy rain, so a base laid over wet soil settles and ruts.

Bare sand cuts and gullies quickly under intense Gulf rainfall, and thunderstorm runoff scours drive shoulders and pipe outlets. That is why drainage stone belongs under and beside a pad, not just on top of it.

Work runs all year here. Winter and spring rain on sandy clay is the limit, and a long wet spell keeps hauling ground soft.

Freezes are short and shallow in this part of the state, so the ground rarely locks up. An ice storm matters far more than cold weather does.

For footing depth, the local building official sets the line and exterior footings sit at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.
