AB-3 is the base most Kansas work starts from, and it is the material to know here. It is dense-graded crushed limestone, rock and fines together, and it locks up tight once it is moisture-conditioned and rolled.
Materials Delivered in Decatur County
AB-3 is the Kansas name for dense-graded crushed limestone base, graded roughly 1 1/2 inch down.
1 inch minus is the smaller cousin. It tops a drive, patches soft spots and builds up shoulders where a full AB-3 base is more than the job needs.
Decorative and soil materials round out a load. Kansas River Rock dresses beds and dry creek beds, and Mason Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes.
Ground Conditions Across Decatur County
Across the High Plains of western Kansas, the ground is silty loess and sandy soil over the Ogallala Formation of sand, gravel and cemented beds. Cemented Ogallala is called mortar bed locally, and hard caliche layers sit close to the surface in places.
That matters for drainage. Water that gets through the silt and sand can stop at a caliche layer and sit there instead of soaking away.
Rainfall runs about 15 to 25 inches a year on the High Plains of western Kansas, but it arrives in heavy summer storms. Tight silt and caliche will not take that water fast, so it runs to the low spots and playas.
Wind is the main agent of erosion here. Bare silt and loose sand blow, drifting across drives and stripping unbound surfaces, and cloudbursts cut steep-sided draws such as the Arikaree Breaks.
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.
Winters on the High Plains of western Kansas are the coldest, windiest and driest in the state, with hard freezes and rapid thaws. Frost depth is set city by city and county by county in Kansas, not by a statewide table.

Choosing the Right Material
Thomas County, Norton County and Rawlins County all sit in the High Plains, and all three share the same ground region as Decatur County. Silty loess and sandy soils over the Ogallala Formation, with mortar bed and hard caliche layers close to the surface.
The ground is the same across all four counties, so the material choice does not change from one to the next. The same base and drainage logic applies in each.
Pick by the job. AB-3 for a compacted base under a drive or pad, 1 inch minus for topping and shoulders, and clean stone such as 1 inch clean or 3/4" crushed stone where water needs to move.
Screenings bed pavers and flagstone. Washed sand beds slabs and pavers and mixes into concrete.
Top soil and garden soil rebuild ground that is thin or tight.
