Which Gravel or Rock to Use for Common Jobs

Match your project to the right material and depth. Use this table for quick guidance.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Gravel Job in Forrest City

Forrest City sees about 58 days a year below freezing. That many freeze-thaw cycles can shift loose surface stone. A deeper base of compacted crusher run reduces that movement.

Soils around Forrest City are mapped as hydrologic group D, meaning they take water in very slowly. Most rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in. That makes drainage and a thicker base more important here than in many other places. St. Francis County permitted about 3 single-family homes in 2024, so most properties are existing lots where drainage patterns are already set. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
