Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Walnut Ridge, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Walnut Ridge, AR, from SB-2 base for a new drive to topsoil for a lawn that will not grow on Delta clay. The ground here is heavy and holds water, so timing matters as much as the material.

The Delta working season runs all year. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the dry spell that cracks the clay is the window most grading work waits for.

Materials for Walnut Ridge Projects

Grading and bed prep start with the soil, not the stone. Heavy Delta clay needs a clean fill and a screened top layer before anything gets planted or paved over.

Top Soil covers lawns and bed prep. Ask for it screened, because unscreened soil off this ground carries clay clods and roots.

For raised beds and vegetable plots, Garden Soil gives you a lighter mix that drains instead of sealing over.

Low spots and new building pads come up out of the wet with Fill Dirt. Build the grade up first, let it settle, then cap it with SB-2 base for anything that takes traffic.

Base and Driveway Material

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base: a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller. Cities and engineers write the same material into street and parking standards as Class 7 base.

Use that name when you are working to a written spec.

For driveways, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Crusher Run is the finer dense-graded option where you want a material that binds.

Washed Stone and Sand

#57 Limestone handles French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete aggregate. 3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing where you want washed stone with no fines.

Screenings, the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools.

Decorative Stone

Arkansas River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel cover decorative beds, borders, walkways and play areas. The Natural Pea Gravel comes washed and rounded in brown or beige.

Ground and Conditions in Walnut Ridge

Walnut Ridge sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is flat, the water table is high and the clay barely takes water. Rain stands where it falls.

Field ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

That is the whole reason a proper base matters here. A fines-bearing material like SB-2 base compacts into a surface that sheds water.

On bare clay, water sits and the ground pumps under a loaded truck.

Winter is the other half of the problem. Winters here are short and mild, but the clay stays wet enough that a loaded truck will rut a drive deeply with no frost involved at all.

Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set its own frost line.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare cropland silt sheets off in a storm, ditch and bayou banks slough, and river banks cave where the current works at them.

Rip rap armors banks, slopes, culvert outlets and ditch checks where a rounded stone will not hold.
