Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in White County, AR
Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in White County, AR. The base material here is SB-2 base, also called SB2 or base stone.
It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up under a roller. Driveways, parking pads, shed pads and pipe bedding all start with it.
Materials Delivered in White County
SB-2 base is the Arkansas base material. Arkansas cities and engineers write it into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base.
Class 8 base is the 1 inch version of the same dense-graded material. Section 302 covers select material used as a foundation course underneath.
Above the base, washed stone sizes do the drainage work. #57 Limestone goes in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and concrete.
3/4" Crushed Stone is the same clean stone one size down.
For a finer surface, Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints. Washed Sand levels under slabs and pools, and Mason Sand goes into brick, block and stone work.
Soil and mulch finish the job. Top Soil covers lawns and bed prep, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings.
Ground Conditions Across White County
White County spans two ground regions, and the two behave differently. Around Searcy, Beebe, Bald Knob and Judsonia the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay.
That is the buckshot and gumbo ground the Delta is known for. Flat ground, a high water table and clay that barely takes water mean rain stands where it falls and drains slowly.
Around Pangburn, Rose Bud and Romance the ground is cherty, acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone. This is karst country, with sinkholes, springs and losing streams under the plateau tops.
Water leaves through the rock rather than across it. The residual clay filling the joints still holds water at the surface after a long rain.
Timing follows the same split. On the Delta side, wet winter and spring ground is the real constraint, and the midsummer dry spell is the best window for base work.
On the Ozark side, work runs almost all year, with winter cold snaps and a wet spring as the interruptions.
No statewide frost figure is published. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line and requires exterior footings at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.

Choosing the Right Material
Faulkner County sits on the Arkansas River Valley, where deep silt loam and clay cover the river bottoms and terraces. That is heavier, wetter ground than the cherty upland on the Ozark side of White County, so a drive there leans harder on a compacted base course.
Independence County shares the Ozark Plateaus ground, cherty acid clay loam over limestone and dolostone with karst underneath. The ground is the same, and the same drainage choices apply.
Cleburne County is Boston Mountains ground, stony silt loam and clay over sandstone and shale with thin ridge soils. Rock sits close to the surface, so a drainage layer matters more than base depth on the slopes.
