Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Bunker Hill, KS
Kansas Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Bunker Hill, KS, with AB-3 as the base material this market builds on. AB-3 is the Kansas name for dense-graded crushed limestone base, crushed rock and fines graded together, and it is what driveways, parking pads, shed bases and road shoulders start from here.
Silty and clayey soils over Cretaceous rock run through this part of the state, so a base that locks up tight matters more than a pretty surface.

Materials for Bunker Hill Projects
Decorative rock, beds, dry creek beds and ground cover are what give a Bunker Hill yard its finished look, and the right stone depends on the job.
Kansas River Rock is rounded washed gravel of the kind dredged from the Kansas River, which locals call the Kaw. It suits decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
Large River Rock handles dry creek beds, splash pads under downspouts and heavier erosion work where a bigger stone is wanted.
RipRap, also called ditch lining rock, armours pond banks, stream banks, ditch lines and culvert outlets against flash runoff.
For a walkable surface, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is a rounded stone for walkways, play areas and dog runs. Shredded Mulch holds soil moisture in beds and tree rings through a hot, windy Kansas summer.
Under the decorative layer, AB-3 builds the driveway, parking pad or shed base. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted AB-3 base, and Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill paver joints.
Ground and Conditions in Bunker Hill
Silty and clayey soils over Cretaceous rock are the ground here, with loess on many of the uplands. That silty upland soil crusts over and sheds water instead of soaking it in.
The chalk and shale beneath sit close to impervious, and summer storms drop a lot of rain in a short time. Water that cannot soak down has to move sideways, so a base laid on bare ground can pump and rut.
Wind and water both work on this ground. Exposed silt blows, and short intense storms gully bare slopes and scour river banks.
Winters here are cold and dry with sharp temperature swings, and repeated freezing and thawing loosens compacted surfaces and heaves gravel drives.
The working season is long and dry either side of a short wet spring. Rapid drying and dust are as much of a problem as rain when you are trying to compact material.
