Gravel and Rock Products Available in Blytheville

From small pea gravel to large river rock, the materials listed below cover most projects. Each one has a specific job, and the table can help you match the product to your need.

Choosing Gravel and Rock for Common Blytheville Projects

Each project needs a different material and depth. The table below matches typical jobs with the right product and a quick depth note.

How Blytheville's Weather and Soil Affect Your Gravel Job

Soils mapped in the Blytheville area are commonly moderately well drained. That means most properties will need some base stone under the surface layer to keep the gravel from sinking into wet ground. The ground around Blytheville is in hydrologic group A, which soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the surface than in heavier soil areas.

About 74 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so plan the delivery onto firm ground rather than during a wet spell. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. With around 64 days a year below freezing, the ground does shift a little, and a well-compacted base prevents frost heave from ruining a path or patio.

Snowfall averages about 2 inches a year, which is light, but plowing that snow can damage a loose surface if you do not top it with a stable layer like road base.

Estimating How Much Gravel or Rock You Need

To figure out the tonnage for your project, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by about 160 to get tons for most materials. For an exact amount, use the material calculators on our site to enter your dimensions and get a load size.
