Bulk Gravel Delivery to Uniontown, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Uniontown, AR, and the work here runs nearly all year. A wet late winter and spring is the real limit on a load, and summer heat can dry a surface before it can be rolled.

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material, and it is where most Uniontown flatwork starts.

Ground and Conditions in Uniontown

Uniontown sits in Crawford County, in the Arkansas River Valley. Across the valley, deep silt loam and clay run along the bottoms and terraces, with shale and sandstone uplands between them.

A thin base shows its failure first at the edges. Clay subsoil lets go of water slowly, so a pad that is too shallow pumps and shifts under traffic all winter.

Wet clay does more damage to a base than cold does. The fix is a dense-graded base with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Bank scour and flood flow along the Arkansas River and its lakes work on bare ground, and spring thunderstorms sheet erode bare valley clay. Cover ground early.

Materials for Uniontown Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows. The bedding layer sets the surface, so it has to be fine, consistent and easy to screed.

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.

Screenings are the bedding layer to start from.

Washed sand and mason sand both work under flatwork. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, while Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Under the bedding, SB-2 base carries the load. It is also called SB2, SB-2 or base stone: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads and pipe bedding. SB-2 Base is the same material Arkansas cities and engineers write into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base, so use that name when you are working to a written spec.

Where a finer dense-graded material that binds and compacts is wanted, Crusher Run does the same work in a tighter size, sold alongside Class 7 as Class 8 base.

Drainage sits below or beside all of it. #57 Limestone is the washed workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and concrete aggregate.
