Materials for Bluff City Projects
Decorative rock, bed cover and dry creek beds carry a lot of the work around here, and they are worth choosing by hand rather than by habit.
Beds, borders and dry creek beds
Kansas River Rock is rounded washed gravel, and it suits decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock is the heavier size for dry creek beds and splash pads under downspouts.
For walkways, play areas and dog runs, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives you a rounded, walkable surface. Shredded Mulch holds soil moisture in beds and tree rings through a hot, windy summer.
Driveways, pads and drainage
AB-3 is the dense-graded crushed limestone base for driveways, parking pads, shed and shop bases and road shoulders. It carries crushed rock and fines together, graded roughly 1 1/2 inch down, and locks up tight when it is moisture-conditioned and rolled.
1 Inch Minus is the smaller dense-graded stone for topping a drive, patching soft spots and building up shoulders. 1 Inch Clean is clean washed limestone for French drains, foundation drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.
Sand, soil and fill
Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers and goes into concrete work. Top Soil covers new lawns, levelling and bed preparation, and Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low spots before a base course goes down.
Ground and Conditions in Bluff City
Across the Arkansas River Lowlands and the south-central sand prairie, the ground is sand, gravel and silt laid down by the Arkansas River, with stabilized dune sand and a sandy loam over the top. Sand drains fast, which sounds like good news until a surface course with no binding fines sinks straight into it.
That is why AB-3 earns its place on a drive here. The fines in it bind the crushed limestone together, so the surface holds instead of disappearing into loose sand.
A clean open stone will not do that job.
Wind moves loose sand as soon as the cover is broken, and spring high water scours banks in this part of the state. Rip rap and large river rock are the materials for that work.
The working season is long, with wet spring weeks and high summer heat as the limits.
Freeze and thaw cycles are shorter here than in northern Kansas, but they still move a drive that has no proper base under it. Frost depth is set locally, city by city, so check with the building official for Bluff City before you plan footing depth.
