Arkansas Decorative Stone

The Hayden Group prides itself on manufacturing industry-leading sports sands, pool pebbles, and masonry sand. Our products, manufactured locally at our Arkansas-based quarry, are in high demand across the country. The Hayden Group's sands have been designed to meet the highest standards, while also addressing common issues faced by facility managers and superintendents such as drainage problems and ease of maintenance. At our 800-acre plant in Sheridan, AR, we mine quartz year-round. Once mined, our the quartz goes through an extensive washing and screening operation, before being fed into our top-of-the line crushers.

Darrell Hayden founded Hayden Gravel and Construction in 1983 in Hornersville, Missouri. Hayden Gravel and Construction began by providing gravel to several area Missouri counties and state agencies for roadwork. The business expanded after Hayden read an ad in a 1989 issue of "Pit and Quarry" magazine and decided to purchase a quarry just south of Sheridan, Arkansas. Upon purchasing the quarry in 1989, Mr. Hayden moved his family and business from Missouri to Sheridan, AR. In its new location, the Hayden Gravel dropped the construction side and focused on providing sand and gravel to numerous local companies, as well as several larger companies that bagged "white rock" for sale in big box stores.
