Bulk Gravel Delivery to Tumbling Shoals, AR

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Tumbling Shoals, AR, Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or by the yard and tips it on your site. If you are bedding pavers, setting a patio, or building up a shed pad, the load usually starts with SB-2 base and finishes with screenings.

Ground here is stony silt loam over sandstone and shale. That rock sits close under the surface on the ridges, so what you put down has to hold its shape without much help from the soil beneath it.

Ground and Conditions in Tumbling Shoals

A bedding layer that is too thin shows itself fast. The pavers rock, joints open, and the edges settle out of line after a wet stretch.

Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock. Slopes stay wet and slick long after the rain stops, and the sandstone above sheds it straight down the hollow.

That water is what ruins flatwork. A steep gravel drive takes runoff arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it, and that runoff cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom.

Slope length and gradient drive the erosion. Saturated shale slopes slump after long rain, so the base under a pad has to stay stable when the ground around it does not.

Timing matters as much as material. 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.

Cold is real here by Arkansas standards, with ice storms on shaded north-facing slopes. Any depth figure for footings comes from the county or city building official, not from a statewide number.

Materials for Tumbling Shoals Projects

Bedding is where most flatwork in this county either holds or fails. Screenings, the local name for crusher fines, are what pavers, flagstone and brick sit in and what gets swept into the joints.

Order Screenings when the finish surface is the job.

Under that bedding, SB-2 base carries the load. This is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. Arkansas cities and engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base, which is the name to use when you are working to a written spec.

Order SB-2 base as SB-2 Base.

A finer dense-graded option, crusher run, binds and compacts for drives and pads where a tighter size suits the job. See Crusher Run.

Concrete and drainage work on the same sites pulls from the washed sizes. #57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, concrete aggregate and a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where no fines are wanted.

Sand finishes the list. Washed Sand is bedding and leveling under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand is for brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play areas.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Tumbling Shoals?

On steep ground here, a clean washed stone such as 3/4" Crushed Stone is often used as a top course over a compacted base.
