Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Wilburn, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Wilburn, AR for two kinds of buyers: contractors building pads and drives, and homeowners grading a yard or filling a bed. Both usually start with SB-2 base or with soil, depending on whether they are building up or covering over.

Wilburn sits in Cleburne County, on ground that runs to thin, stony ridgetops above sandstone and shale. That shapes what you need hauled in, because the native material underfoot is often rock and clay rather than anything you can plant or build on.

Materials for Wilburn Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most properties here, and that work starts with soil and fill. Screened topsoil gives you a planting layer over the cherty upland ground.

Garden soil is the richer mix for raised beds and vegetable plots. Fill dirt raises low spots and builds a pad up before any base course goes down.

For the base under a drive, a parking pad or a shed floor, SB-2 base is the Arkansas standard. It is a dense-graded 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, which is the name to use when you are working to a written spec. A finer dense-graded option is Crusher Run, though SB-2 is the term most Arkansas buyers reach for.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is the workhorse size for French drains, foundation drainage and pipe bedding, and 3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds and drive surfacing where you want no fines at all.

Sand and decorative stone round out a project. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, while mason sand suits brick, block and paver joints.

For beds and borders, Arkansas River Rock is the rounded creek gravel many yards use.

Ground and Conditions in Wilburn

Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock. That keeps slopes wet and slick long after a storm passes, while the sandstone above sheds rain straight down the hollow.

A steep gravel drive takes water arriving from uphill, not just the rain that falls on it.

Slope length and gradient drive the erosion. Runoff on a steep hollow drive cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

Building the pad up out of the wet with fill before the base goes on is the practical answer on ground like this.

Timing matters too. Winter ice and mud on steep drives set the limits, so grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall once the slopes have dried out.

Cold by Arkansas standards, with ice storms and repeated freeze-thaw on shaded north-facing slopes that stay frozen hours longer than the valleys below.

No statewide frost depth figure is published. The Arkansas residential code has each jurisdiction set the frost line, and exterior footings sit at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground.

Ask the Cleburne County building official for the number that applies to your site.

What stone should I use for drainage in Wilburn?

Washed stone with no fines is what moves water. #57 Limestone is the standard size for French drains, foundation and pipe drainage, and 3/4 inch clean limestone works for drainage beds and construction entrances.

For finer work, 3/8 inch crushed stone suits pipe bedding and tight joints. SB-2 base is not a drainage material because the fines hold water.
