Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Success, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Success, AR, and the timing question comes first. Work runs all year here, but wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint in the Delta.

Midsummer is the window when the clay shrinks and cracks and base work goes in clean. Order SB-2 base and the rest of your material for that stretch.

Ground and Conditions in Success

Success sits in Clay County on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. This is the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for.

Flat ground, a high water table and clay that barely takes water are the local combination. Rain stands where it falls and field ditches and bayous drain slowly.

A thin base fails here by pumping. Water sits in the clay, the stone works down into the soft subgrade, and the surface ruts under a truck.

The fix is a base course that locks up under a roller, with the fines left in so it holds together. That is what SB-2 base does.

Wet winter ground is the reason for a proper base depth, not frost. A loaded truck will rut a drive deeply through a Delta winter with no frost involved at all.

Materials for Success Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows. The bedding layer levels the pavers and moves water, and the base under it carries the load.

SB-2 base, also called SB2 or base stone, 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.

Use it under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. Cities and engineers write the same material into their street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base, or Class 7 aggregate base course, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

See SB-2 Base.

Screenings, also called limestone fines, stone screenings or crusher fines, are the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines. They bed pavers, flagstone and brick, fill joints and leave a tight walking surface.

See Screenings.

Washed sand, also called concrete sand or river sand, beds and levels under slabs and pools. Mason sand is the finer grade for brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

See Washed Sand and Mason Sand.

#57 limestone, also called #57 stone, 57 rock or clean rock, is the workhorse washed size here. It goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and as a clean top over a compacted base.

See #57 Limestone.

3/4 inch clean limestone, also called 3/4 inch crushed stone or 3/4 clean, is a washed stone with no fines. It suits drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing.

Delivery to Success and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a delivery date at checkout. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to size the load.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site. It does not spread or place the material, so plan where the pile should sit before it arrives.

Delivery covers Success and Clay County, including Piggott, Corning, Rector, Pollard and Knobel. The truck reaches rural and county-road properties the same way it reaches town addresses.

Top it with 3/4 inch clean limestone or #57 limestone where you want a washed surface with no fines.
