Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in West Memphis, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in West Memphis, AR to drives, pads, gardens and job sites. The ground here is Delta clay that sheds water slowly, so the right base matters from the start.

Order SB-2 base, screenings, washed stone, sand and screened topsoil online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Materials for West Memphis Projects

Grading and bed prep start with the soil you put back down. Screened topsoil covers a graded lawn or a fresh bed over heavy Delta clay, and garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Fill dirt raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet before any base course goes on.

Under all of that sits the base. SB-2 base is the dense-graded crushed stone with the fines left in, the material West Memphis driveways, parking pads and shed pads are built on.

When a written standard calls it Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course, it is the same stone under the spec name.

On top of a compacted base, washed stone handles water and surfaces. #57 Limestone drains French drains, foundation drains and pipe beds, and 3/4" Crushed Stone works for construction entrances and drainage beds.

RipRap armors banks, ditch checks and culvert outlets where moving water is the problem.

Sand beds and levels. Washed Sand goes under slabs and pool bases, and Mason Sand handles brick, block and paver joints.

Screenings bed flagstone, pavers and brick and fill the joints between them.

For finish work, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and dog runs, and Arkansas River Rock covers decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through the summer.

Ground and Conditions in West Memphis

Across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain the ground is deep alluvial silt loam and heavy clay, the buckshot and gumbo soil the Delta is known for. It barely takes water.

Rain stands where it falls, ditches and bayous drain slowly, and backwater can hold water for days.

That is why a fines-bearing base like SB-2 base belongs under a drive or pad here. Water sits on top of clay rather than soaking away, so the base has to carry the load and shed what it can.

A clean washed stone under the same slab does the opposite job: it lets water move.

Bare cropland silt sheets off in a storm, ditch and bayou banks slough, and river banks cave. Riprap on a bank or a ditch check slows that down.

Shredded mulch keeps bare soil from washing out of a bed in a summer thunderstorm.

Work runs all year in this part of Arkansas. Wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell that shrinks and cracks the clay is the best window for base work.
