Buy #57 Limestone in Witter, AR

Arkansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Witter, AR. Grading and compaction go best from late spring through fall, once the slopes have dried out, so plan the base work around that window.

SB-2 base is the Arkansas name for the dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone that locks up under a roller. It carries drives, parking pads and building pads on ground that stays wet longer than most of the state.

Materials for Witter Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first on any Witter job. SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material, a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in so it binds and compacts.

When a job is written to a spec, the same material shows up as Class 7 base or Class 7 aggregate base course. That is how Arkansas cities and engineers write it into street, sidewalk and parking standards.

Order it as SB-2 Base.

Driveway surfacing tops a compacted base on rural and county-road properties. Driveway Gravel covers that use, and Crusher Run is the finer dense-graded option where a material that binds and compacts is wanted.

Washed stone handles drainage and concrete work. #57 Limestone is the workhorse washed size here, used in French drains, foundation and pipe drainage and as a clean top over a compacted base.

3/4" Crushed Stone is a washed stone with no fines, for drainage beds, construction entrances and drive surfacing. Screenings, the Arkansas trade name for crusher fines, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out a site. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep.

Arkansas River Rock works decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Witter

Across the Boston Mountains, shale beds perch water above the rock. That keeps slopes wet and slick, 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 do the rest: runoff cuts ruts and carries surfacing to the bottom, and saturated shale slopes slump after long rain.

Witter sits on stony, acid silt loam and clay over flat-lying sandstone and shale. Rock benches, ledges and loose colluvium show on the steep slopes, and ridge soils are thin.

That ground is why a proper base depth matters more than the surface stone. Wet ground, not frost, is the reason to build the base up before any surfacing goes down.

Winter sets the limits here. Ice and mud on steep drives shut down grading, and shaded north-facing slopes hold ice longer than the valleys below.

Frost depth is set locally, so ask the Madison County building official for the number that applies.
