Do you deliver to Kiowa County?

Yes. Kansas Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, stone, sand and soil across Kiowa County, including Haviland, Greensburg and Mullinville. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and select a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the load to your site and tips it in one pile.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular, broken limestone. Screenings, 3/4 inch crushed stone and 1 inch clean all come from crushed rock, and the clean sizes drain because they carry no fines. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded, washed stone near 3/8 inch, comfortable underfoot on walkways, play areas and dog runs. Rounded stone will not lock together the way a crushed base does.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Either works, and the choice is yours at checkout. Order by the ton when you want the weight, which suits base and fill work. Order by the yard when you are thinking in volume, which suits sand, soil and mulch. Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load before you order.

Gravel, Soil and Stone for Kiowa County, KS

Ground Conditions Across Kiowa County

Rain, snowmelt and spring storms all arrive the same way here. Across the Arkansas River Lowlands and the south-central sand prairie, the ground is sand, gravel and silt laid down by the Arkansas River, capped by sandy loam.

Sand drains fast. That sounds helpful until a surface course with no binding fines sinks straight into it.

The water table also sits close under parts of the valley floor.

Wind moves loose sand once the cover is broken. Spring high water scours stream banks too, so slopes and ditch lines need stone rather than soil.

Winters are moderate by Kansas standards. Freeze and thaw still moves a drive built with no proper base under it.

Frost depth is set locally, city by city, so check the figure your own jurisdiction adopted.

The working season runs long. Wet spring weeks and high summer heat are the limits, and sandy ground is back in shape quickly after rain.

Materials Delivered in Kiowa County

Base material comes first. AB-3 is crushed rock and fines together, graded roughly 1 1/2 inch down.

Order it for driveways, parking pads, shed and shop bases and road shoulders. It locks up tight when it is moisture-conditioned and rolled.

The storefront carries it as AB-3.

For a smaller dense-graded stone, use 1 inch minus. It tops a drive, patches soft spots and builds up shoulders where a full AB-3 base is more than the job needs.

Sand and soil round out the list. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs, pavers and concrete work.

Mason Sand handles brick, block and paver joints.

For planting, Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas. Shredded Mulch holds soil moisture through a hot, windy Kansas summer.

Delivery Across Kiowa County

Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and tips in one pile. Order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

Have the drop area clear before the truck arrives. A load of AB-3 or fill dirt needs open ground the truck can reach and tip onto.

Each product page has a calculator. Use it to size the load before you order.

Delivery covers Haviland, Greensburg, Mullinville and the rest of the county.

Choosing the Right Material

Ground next door is not the same ground. Barber County and Comanche County sit in the Red Hills, over red, iron-stained silty and clayey soil on Permian red shale, siltstone and sandstone, capped by gypsum beds.

That gypsum dissolves, which is why the country there is full of sinkholes and caves. Clayey red soil sheds water slowly and holds it, so drainage there leans on clean stone rather than on fines.

Ford County spans more than one zone, reaching into the High Plains of western Kansas as well as the Arkansas River Lowlands and the south-central sand prairie.

Kiowa County's own sandy ground drains fast, so a fines-bearing base like AB-3 does the binding work a clean stone cannot. Match the material to the ground under it.
