Fill and Base Material Delivered in Bazine, KS
Kansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Bazine, KS, and AB-3 is the base the work starts from. AB-3 is the Kansas name for dense-graded crushed limestone base, crushed rock and fines graded roughly 1 1/2 inch down.
It locks up tight once it is moisture-conditioned and rolled, which suits drives, parking pads and shop bases. The ground here is silty loess and sandy soil, so a pad is only as good as what sits under it.

Materials for Bazine Projects
Raising grade and building pads is the work that shapes most of this list. Fill and sub-base go down first, then a compacted base course on top of it.
Fill Dirt raises grade, backfills and builds up low spots before a base course goes down. On loess and sandy ground, that build-up is what keeps a pad from settling unevenly.
AB-3 is the dense-graded crushed limestone base for driveways, parking pads, shed and shop bases and road shoulders. 1 Inch Minus is the smaller dense-graded limestone, used for topping a drive, patching soft spots and building up shoulders where a full AB-3 base is more than the job needs.
For drainage, 1 Inch Clean is washed limestone sold by inch size, used in French drains, foundation drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. 3/4" Crushed Stone covers drainage beds, drive surfacing over a compacted base, and trench backfill.
Screenings are the crusher fines left after limestone is screened. They bed pavers and flagstone, level under flatwork and fill paver joints.
Ground and Conditions in Bazine
The ground across the High Plains of western Kansas is silty loess and sandy soil over sand, gravel and cemented beds. Hard caliche layers sit close to the surface in places, and cemented Ogallala is called mortar bed locally.
That matters under a pad. Caliche and mortar bed do not drain, so water that gets through the silt above them sits instead of moving on.
Rainfall across this part of the state runs about 15 to 25 inches a year, but it arrives in heavy summer storms. Tight silt and caliche will not take it, so it runs to the low spots.
Wind is the main agent of erosion here. Bare silt and loose sand blow, drifting across drives and stripping unbound surfaces, so a surface left without a base under it loses material.
The working season is long. The difficulty is getting moisture into material and holding it there long enough to compact, rather than waiting for the ground to dry out.
