3/4 Inch Clean Limestone and Bulk Aggregates for Valley Springs, AR

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Valley Springs, AR, Arkansas Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and by the yard. SB-2 base is the local name for the dense graded crushed stone most drives and pads start from.

On the Ozark Plateaus side of the state, cherty clay loam sits over limestone and dolostone, so how deep a base goes matters more than what sits on top of it.

Materials for Valley Springs Projects

Water is the reason washed stone gets ordered here. Runoff on this ground tends to go down through the rock rather than across it, so French drains, drywells and downspout runs do real work.

Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling. That is what makes it useful around a foundation, a footing drain or the outlet of a downspout.

Start with the coarser sizes and work down. #4 Crushed Stone is a heavy washed stone for trench bottoms and soft ground.

#57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is another clean washed size for drainage beds and construction entrances. Where a smaller washed stone is wanted for tight joints or close bedding, #89 Crushed Stone fits.

Fines-bearing material is a different job. SB-2 Base is a dense graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller.

Cities and engineers write it into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base, so ask for it that way when you are working to a written spec.

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

Sand and soil round out a drainage job. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Top Soil takes the ground back to a lawn once the trench is closed.

Ground and Conditions in Valley Springs

Base, drive and patio work runs almost all year here. A wet spring and winter cold snaps are the interruptions, and the late summer dry spell is the easiest window to get real compaction.

That matters because the ground under a drive is cherty clay loam over limestone, with chert gravel through the profile and rock close to the surface on side slopes. A wet clay subgrade will not compact, so the base has to carry the load instead.

Across the Ozark Plateaus, water leaves through the rock rather than across it. Sinkholes, fractured limestone and losing streams take runoff underground fast, while residual clay filling the joints holds water at the surface after a long rain.

That combination is why drainage stone and a properly graded base both earn their place.

Steep hollow slopes and flashy streams scour drive shoulders, culvert outlets and creek banks in heavy spring rain. Rip rap armors those spots, and a washed drainage layer keeps water moving away from a foundation.
