Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Dennis, KS
Kansas Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Dennis, KS. AB-3 is the base material this part of Kansas builds on: crushed limestone and fines together, graded roughly 1 1/2 inch down, that locks up tight when it is moisture-conditioned and rolled.
Dennis sits in Labette County, on ground that stays wet after a storm. That shapes what you put under a drive or a pad more than anything else.

Materials for Dennis Projects
Raising grade is the first job on a low, flat lot, and it is the job that decides how everything above it performs. Fill dirt builds up the low spots and backfills around a foundation.
Once the grade is where you want it, a compacted base goes on top.
For a driveway, start with Fill Dirt if the grade needs lifting, then lay AB-3 as the base. Top it with Driveway Gravel for the surface course.
Where a full AB-3 base is more than the job needs, 1 Inch Minus works for topping a drive, patching soft spots and building up shoulders.
For a patio or a walkway, Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer surface underfoot.
For drainage, 1 Inch Clean is washed limestone sold by inch size, used in French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding. Drain Rock covers the same work where a washed stone is wanted.
Ground and Conditions in Dennis
Across the Cherokee Lowlands and the southeast corner, the ground is a gently rolling to flat plain over shale, sandstone and coal. The soils are heavy claypan that hold water.
This is the wettest corner of the state, and a claypan will not take water away.
That means yards, pads and drives stay wet for days after a storm. A base built thin over ground like that goes soft and pumps when a loaded truck crosses it.
Fill and sub-base are where the money goes on a Dennis job, because the grade and the base are what keep the surface from breaking up.
Rain on flat, slow-draining ground causes sheet wash and ponding more than gullying. Rip rap lines ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where runoff concentrates.
The working season here is long and limited by wet ground far more than by cold. Late summer and early fall are usually the driest weeks for base work.
Winters are the mildest in Kansas, but the ground still freezes and thaws. Saturated claypan ground heaves and goes soft when it does.
Footing depth is set by the city or county building official.
