Materials for Bison Projects
Washed stone is the place to start if you are moving water. Clean rock has no fines in it, so water passes straight through instead of pooling.
That is what makes it the right fill for a French drain, a drywell, a foundation drain or a downspout run.
Clean washed limestone is sold by inch size in Kansas, so the size you pick follows the job. 1 Inch Clean is the common choice for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.
3/4" Crushed Stone suits drainage beds and trench backfill.
For tight bedding and narrow paver joints, drop to #89 Crushed Stone. Drain Rock covers dry wells, foundation drains and downspout runs where a washed stone is wanted.
Fines-bearing material does a different job. AB-3 is the Kansas base course for driveways, parking pads, shed and shop bases and road shoulders, and it locks up tight when it is moisture-conditioned and rolled.
1 Inch Minus is the smaller dense-graded limestone for topping a drive, patching soft spots and building up shoulders.
Sand and soil round out a site. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and Top Soil builds new lawns and beds over heavy clay or thin rocky ground.

Ground and Conditions in Bison
Across the Smoky Hills, Blue Hills and Post Rock country, the working season is long and dry on either side of a short wet spring. Rapid drying and dust cause as much trouble as rain when you are trying to compact material.
The upland soil here is silty and clayey over Cretaceous rock, and silt on bare ground crusts over and sheds water. The chalk and shale beneath it sit close to impervious, so summer storms that drop a lot of rain in a short time have nowhere to go.
That combination is why drainage matters as much as surface. Clean stone under a downspout or around a foundation moves water away instead of letting it sit against the soil.
Wind and water both work on this ground. Exposed silt blows, and short intense storms cut gullies in bare slopes and scour river banks.
Riprap and large river rock armour those edges where runoff concentrates.
Winters here are cold and dry with sharp temperature swings, and repeated freezing and thawing loosens compacted surfaces. Frost depth is set jurisdiction by jurisdiction in Kansas, not by a statewide table.
