AB-3 is the base a Kansas contractor names first. It is dense-graded crushed limestone, rock and fines graded together, and it locks up tight once it is moisture-conditioned and rolled.
Materials Delivered in Mitchell County
Start with the job, not the material. A driveway, a patio and a drain each want a different stone, and the local name is the one to order by.
AB-3 carries the most weight in base work. In Kansas, and the requirements for aggregates for base construction sit in Section 1104, inside Division 1100 of the Kansas Standard Specifications for State Road and Bridge Construction.
City and county work references the same class, so AB-3 is the term a contractor uses when ordering base.
For a patio or a walkway, Mason Sand and Washed Sand bed the pavers and level the ground under them. Top Soil and Garden Soil rebuild the ground where a lawn or a bed is going in.
Ground Conditions Across Mitchell County
Across the Smoky Hills, Blue Hills and Post Rock country, the soils are silty and clayey over Cretaceous rock. Dakota sandstone shows in one part of the region, Greenhorn limestone through the middle, and Niobrara chalk in another, with loess on many uplands.
That silty upland soil crusts over and sheds water instead of taking it. The chalk and shale beneath it sit close to impervious, so water that gets down has nowhere to go.
An under-built base on ground like that moves. The fines in AB-3 bind the rock together when the material is moisture-conditioned and rolled, which is what holds a drive or a pad in place.
Wind and water both work here. Exposed silt blows, and short intense storms gully bare slopes and scour river banks.
RipRap and large river rock armour banks, ditch lines and culvert outlets against that runoff.
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.
Winters are cold and dry with sharp temperature swings. Repeated freezing and thawing loosens compacted surfaces and heaves gravel drives.
Delivery Across Mitchell County
Order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load before you order.
Choose a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the load on site in one pile. Beloit, Glen Elder, Cawker City, Tipton and Hunter are all covered.
Bulk delivery suits a base course, a drainage bed or a fill job where the volume is too much to handle by the bag.
Choosing the Right Material
Cloud County, Ottawa County and Osborne County all sit in the same Smoky Hills region, and all three share Mitchell County's ground region: silty and clayey soils over Cretaceous rock, with loess on many of the uplands.
Because the ground is the same on both sides of the county line, the material choice does not change. AB-3 for a compacted base, clean washed stone for drainage, and rip rap where runoff has to be slowed.
What changes is the job in front of you, not the county you are standing in. Match the stone to the work and the ground does the rest.
