Fill and Base Material Delivered in Clyde, KS
Kansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Clyde, KS, and AB-3 is the base material most of that work starts from. AB-3 is the Kansas name for dense-graded crushed limestone base, crushed rock and fines together, graded roughly 1 1/2 inch down.
It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and shop bases and road shoulders. Clyde sits in Cloud County, where silty and clayey soils over Cretaceous rock make a solid base course worth getting right.

Materials for Clyde Projects
Fill and sub-base work drives a lot of what gets ordered here, and it starts with raising grade and building pads. Fill dirt brings a low spot up to level before any base course goes down.
AB-3 then goes over it as the compacted layer a drive or pad sits on.
For a driveway, start with Fill Dirt where the ground needs building up, then cap it with AB-3. If the drive already has a firm base, Driveway Gravel surfaces it.
Where a full AB-3 base is more than the job needs, 1 Inch Minus tops a drive, patches soft spots and builds up shoulders.
For drainage, 1 Inch Clean is washed limestone sold by inch size, used in French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding. RipRap lines ditch banks and culvert outlets where runoff moves fast.
For a patio or walkway, Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them. Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.
Top Soil covers a new lawn or a bed once the grade is set.
Ground and Conditions in Clyde
The soils through this part of the state are silty and clayey over Cretaceous rock, with loess on many of the uplands. Silt crusts over and sheds water instead of taking it in.
The chalk and shale beneath it sit close to impervious.
That combination matters under a drive or a pad. Water that cannot soak away sits against the base, and a base built over soft ground loses its shape.
Building the grade up first with fill dirt, then capping it with AB-3, keeps the finished surface on ground that holds.
Wind and water both work on exposed ground here. Silt blows, and short intense storms cut gullies into bare slopes.
A long dry working season either side of a short wet spring means rapid drying and dust are as much of a factor as rain when you are trying to compact material.
Winters are cold and dry with sharp temperature swings. Repeated freezing and thawing loosens compacted surfaces and heaves gravel drives.
Frost depth in Kansas is set by jurisdiction rather than by a statewide table, so check the figure your local building official uses.
