Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Aurora, KS
Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Aurora, KS online. Kansas Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or by the yard and drops it at your site.
Start with AB-3, the Kansas name for dense-graded crushed limestone base. This is Post Rock country, silty ground over limestone, and a drive here needs a base that locks up tight.
Materials for Aurora Projects
Base and driveway surfacing carry the work on most Aurora sites. AB-3 is crushed rock and fines graded roughly 1 1/2 inch down.
Conditioned and rolled, it locks up into a hard, dense surface for drives, parking pads, shed bases and road shoulders.
Where a full AB-3 base is more than the job needs, step down to 1 Inch Minus. It is a smaller dense-graded limestone for topping a drive, patching soft spots and building up shoulders.
Do not treat it as the same material as AB-3.
Surface an existing drive with Driveway Gravel, or top a compacted AB-3 base with it. Garden paths and walkways want the finer, comfortable surface of Walkway Gravel.
Water has to go somewhere. 1 Inch Clean is washed limestone sold by inch size, and in Kansas clean rock means exactly that, no fines.
Use it for French drains, foundation drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.
For a drainage bed or trench backfill, 3/4" Crushed Stone works at a smaller size. Paver joints and tight bedding take Screenings, the crusher fines left after limestone is screened.
Sand and soil round out a build. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and Mason Sand handles brick and block work plus paver joints.
Top Soil builds new lawns over heavy clay or thin rocky ground.
For decorative beds and dry creek beds, Kansas River Rock is rounded washed gravel of the kind dredged from the Kaw. Large River Rock takes splash pads under downspouts and heavier erosion work.
Ground and Conditions in Aurora
Across the Smoky Hills, Blue Hills and Post Rock country, the upland soil is silty and it crusts over. Rain and snowmelt shed off that crust instead of soaking in.
Beneath it, the chalk and shale sit close to impervious. Summer storms drop a lot of rain in a short time, and that water has nowhere to go but downhill.
Plan for it. A clean washed stone under a drain line moves water away; a fines-bearing base does not.
Keep those two jobs on separate materials.
Erosion works from both sides here. Wind lifts exposed silt, and short intense storms cut gullies into bare slopes and scour stream banks.
The working season is long and mostly dry, split by a short wet spring. Rapid drying and dust cause as much trouble as rain when you are trying to compact material.
Winters are cold and dry with sharp swings. Repeated freezing and thawing loosens compacted surfaces and heaves gravel drives.
Frost depth is set by each Kansas jurisdiction, not by a statewide table, so check the figure your local building official uses.
