Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Vilonia, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Vilonia, AR, and the ground here decides how a project gets built. This part of the Arkansas River Valley runs to deep silt loam and clay, so an under-built base moves long before the stone on top of it fails.

That is why SB-2 base matters. It is the local name for a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller instead of shifting.

Delivery to Vilonia and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. Each product page carries a calculator if you want help sizing the load.

A dump truck then tips the material in one pile at the address you give. Arkansas Rock Supply delivers across Faulkner County, including Conway, Greenbrier, Mayflower, Wooster and Guy, with Vilonia sitting at the center of that run.

Bulk loads are heavy, so think about where the truck can reach before you order. A firm, open spot near the work keeps the pile where you want to shovel from.

Materials for Vilonia Projects

Start with the project, not the material. A drive, a patio, a bed and a drain each want something different, and the decorative work is where the choice shows.

Beds, Borders and Ground Cover

Arkansas River Rock is the rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock handles the heavier decorative work and light bank protection where a rounded stone is wanted.

Both are river gravel, which is what most Arkansas yards mean when they ask for creek gravel. They dress a bed and they read as stone, not as fill.

For a walking surface between beds, 3/8 inch Natural Pea Gravel gives you a small rounded stone that works on walkways, play areas and dog runs. Shredded Mulch belongs in the same beds, holding moisture through a summer and keeping bare soil from washing in a thunderstorm.

Drives, Pads and Drainage

Under all of that, SB-2 Base is the compacted layer that carries a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad. Screenings, also called limestone fines, bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them.

Where water has to move, #57 Limestone is the washed size for French drains, foundation drainage and pipe bedding. Drain Rock does the same work in a filter grade, and RipRap armors a bank or a culvert outlet where flow is stronger.

Ground and Conditions in Vilonia

The soil across the Arkansas River Valley is deep silt loam and clay on the bottoms and terraces, with shale and sandstone uplands between them. Clay subsoils let go of water slowly, so ground stays soft well after a rain.

That is the argument for base depth. An under-built base on wet clay pumps and rut under traffic all winter, no matter how good the stone on top is.

Work runs nearly all year here. A wet late winter and spring is the real limit, and summer heat can dry a surface before it can be rolled.

Erosion in this part of the state comes from bank scour along the river and its lakes, plus sheet erosion off bare clay in spring thunderstorms. RipRap on a slope and mulch over bare soil both slow that down.
