Do you deliver to Woodruff County?

Yes. Arkansas Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, stone, sand, soil and mulch across Woodruff County, including Augusta, McCrory and Cotton Plant. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on site.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular and mechanically broken, so a dense-graded material like SB-2 base locks up and compacts under a roller. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded and washed out of river deposits, usually brown or beige, and it stays loose. That makes Natural Pea Gravel good for walkways, play areas and dog runs, while crushed stone carries drives and pads.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both work, and the choice usually comes down to how you measured the job. Each product page has a calculator that sizes the load from your numbers, so you can order in whichever unit suits you. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard at checkout.

Woodruff County, AR Aggregate and Rock Delivery

Arkansas Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Woodruff County, AR to contractors and homeowners working the same ground. For building a driveway outside Augusta or leveling a pad in McCrory, the material has to suit Delta clay.

SB-2 base is the starting point for most of that work. It is a dense-graded 1 1/2 inch minus crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller.

Ground Conditions Across Woodruff County

Woodruff County sits on the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, where the ground is deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay. Locals call the sticky part buckshot or gumbo.

Under a wet winter it holds water instead of taking it.

The land is flat and the water table is high. Rain stands where it falls, and field ditches and bayous drain slowly.

Backwater can hold water on low ground for days after a storm.

That is why a base course matters more here than a thin layer of stone. A fines-bearing material like SB-2 binds and compacts into a stable surface over soft clay.

A clean washed stone will not do that job.

Erosion shows up as sheet wash off bare cropland and sloughing along ditch and bayou banks. Rip rap armors those banks where a rounded stone will not hold.

Work runs all year across the Delta. 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.

Winters are short and mild, and frost is shallow. Saturated clay, not frost, is what ruts a drive when a loaded truck crosses it.

Materials Delivered in Woodruff County

SB-2 base is the standard Arkansas base material, and it carries the most weight in any base conversation here. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and it beds pipe.

Arkansas cities and engineers write the same material into street, sidewalk and parking standards as Class 7 base.

Section 302 covers select material used as a foundation course underneath. When you are working to a written spec, order it as Class 7.

Class 8 base is the 1 inch minus version of the same dense-graded material, for the same uses in a tighter size. Crusher run is the finer dense-graded option that binds and compacts.

Sand comes in two grades worth knowing. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pools, and mason sand is for brick, block and stone work, paver joints and play sand.

Soil and mulch round out a load. Screened topsoil dresses lawns and beds over heavy Delta clay, garden soil fills raised beds, and shredded mulch holds moisture through a Delta summer.

Delivery Across Woodruff County

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and tips in one pile on site. The driver does not spread or spot the load, so pick a spot that can take the whole pile at once.

Have the drop area clear before the truck arrives. Soft clay ground is the thing to watch, because a loaded truck will rut a wet drive deeply with no frost involved at all.

Ordering happens online. Choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, size the load with the calculator on each product page, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

Delivery covers Augusta, McCrory, Cotton Plant and the surrounding county roads.

Choosing the Right Material

Jackson County shares Woodruff County's ground: deep alluvial silt loam, silty clay and heavy clay laid down by the big rivers, with sandier natural levee ridges. The base and drainage choices carry over unchanged.

St. Francis County and Cross County each span more than one ground region, covering both the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and Crowley's Ridge.

On the Crowley's Ridge side the ground is higher and better drained than the flat Delta clay, so a drive there sheds water more readily and a fines-bearing base still does the work.

On the Delta side of those counties the ground matches Woodruff County, and the same reasoning applies. Heavy clay and a high water table mean a compacted base course first, then a clean washed stone where drainage is the goal.

Match the material to the job. SB-2 base for anything that carries traffic or a building.

Screenings for bedding pavers and flagstone. #57 limestone and 3/4 inch clean for drains and drainage beds.

Natural Pea Gravel and river gravel for walkways and decorative beds. Rip rap for bank armoring.

Washed sand and mason sand for bedding and masonry. Topsoil, garden soil, fill dirt and mulch for the ground itself.
