Customer Comments

“Used this for bedding a flagstone path from the driveway to the front door, about a ton and a quarter delivered. The stone itself sets flagstone nice and level, no complaints there. Only snag was the final price rang up about thirty dollars over the phone quote for a fuel surcharge nobody mentioned when we booked the delivery window. Would have just liked to know ahead of time.”

“Our old lab tore up the grass in his run years ago, so we put down three tons of the 89 stone instead of pea gravel since our vet said it drains better and doesn't hold odor as bad. Small enough on his paws, and even after this year's wet April it never turned to mud like the dirt used to.”

“Twenty tons of railroad ballast went down for a stretch of farm road that turns to a bog every time it rains for more than a day, and Kansas Rock Supply had it out within two days of the call. The big angular rock drains almost instantly since there's nothing but coarse stone to hold water. Equipment rolls through now without sinking, even the loaded grain cart in a wet October.”

“Put four tons under a new stamped concrete patio for drainage before the pour, and the contractor said it was exactly the size he wanted for base work. Only nitpick is a handful of chalky white pieces mixed in that stick out against the rest of the gray stone, purely cosmetic since it's getting buried anyway. Patio's held up fine through one full year now.”

“Three tons of drain rock went in for a dry well we dug at the low corner of the yard where water sat for days after every downpour, ordered through Kansas Rock Supply after a neighbor recommended them. Filled the pit, wrapped it in fabric, and topped it with soil like the landscaper suggested. Two heavy rains since and the water disappears within an hour instead of sitting for a week.”

“Our neighborhood started a community garden on the empty lot down the street, and we brought in four yards of garden soil to fill twelve individual plots for anyone who signed up. Dark, crumbly, easy to work by hand without a tiller. First harvest came in heavier than any of us expected for soil that was dirt and weeds just two months earlier.”

“Kansas Rock Supply delivered six tons of the pea gravel for the playground area at our daycare, spread under the swings and the little climbing structure. Rounded stone, no sharp edges for tiny knees, and it cushions falls better than the old mulch we had. Parents have actually commented on how clean and tidy it looks at pickup time.”

“Needed two and a half tons for a ten by twelve shed pad out back and called Kansas Rock Supply after the big box store quoted three weeks out for delivery. Had it here in four days, dumped exactly where the flags were, and my brother-in-law and I had it raked level in under an hour. Shed's been sitting square on it since June.”

“Three tons of washed sand went into mixing concrete on a new equipment pad, ordered through Kansas Rock Supply since the local yard was out of stock that week. Wanted clean sand without any silt that could weaken the mix, and that's exactly what showed up. Poured smooth, no honeycombing once it cured, and the slab has held up through one full winter of freeze and thaw without a single crack showing up.”

“Manage a couple rental properties on the south side and needed something cheap but tidy looking for the entrance beds before new tenants moved in. Four yards of shredded mulch across both properties did the trick, dark and clean looking straight off the truck. Tenants have commented on how nice the place looks, and it's held its color through two months of Kansas heat already.”

“We mixed our own concrete for a small equipment shop pad and needed a consistent aggregate that wouldn't throw off the ratio, so we ordered four tons of the number 8 from Kansas Rock Supply. Poured clean, no clay clumps or trash mixed in like we got from a pit load two years ago. Shop's been standing on that slab through one whole winter with no cracking.”

“Four tons of large river rock went into a swale cutting across the pasture where spring runoff off the Flint Hills kept gouging a new channel every year, and Kansas Rock Supply had it out within the week we called. Rocks that size just sit there and take the flow without moving. One full spring of heavy rain behind us now and the channel looks the same as the day we finished it.”

“We ordered two tons of the three eighths inch stone through Kansas Rock Supply for a winding path through the vegetable garden and out to the chicken coop. Small and angular enough that it stays put without edging in most spots, and barefoot walking isn't bad either. Delivered right on the tarp we laid out in the driveway, no mess on the grass.”

“We needed a hard packed lot for parking feed trucks and skid steers south of Dodge City, so we ordered twenty tons of crusher run to build up the old dirt pad. It compacted beautifully once we ran the plate compactor over it, hard enough now that equipment doesn't sink in during spring thaw. Only issue was our gate is narrow and the tri-axle couldn't swing in far enough, so the driver dumped about a third of it near the entrance instead of the piles we'd planned, meaning extra hours moving it ourselves with the loader.”

“Stone screenings turned out to be exactly right for a round pen we built for starting young horses, seven tons ordered through Kansas Rock Supply. Packs into a firm, even footing that doesn't get slick or dusty like the pea gravel we tried first. The tri-axle dumped it right along the fence line so we could spread it with the ATV drag ourselves. Horses have worked in it through a whole summer without any issues.”

“Our lawn had low spots and bare patches all over from years of drainage problems, so we brought in five yards of top soil to level it out before overseeding this fall. Raked it smooth over the old grass and worked the seed in right behind it. Whole yard came in thick and even by the following spring, first time in years it's looked decent.”

“We lost about six feet of bank along the creek behind the barn two springs running before we finally did something about it. Twenty two tons of number four went in along the worst stretch and around the culvert where the runoff cuts hardest every March. The driver called ahead but still showed up almost two hours past the end of the window, which threw off our whole Saturday since we had a crew standing around waiting. Once it was down though, the stone locked in place through this year's heavy snowmelt and the bank hasn't moved an inch. Worth the wait in the end.”

“The lane running out to our wheat fields used to turn to soup every wet spring, so we had twenty five tons of road base put down along the half mile stretch, and Kansas Rock Supply had it here within two days. The tri-axle dumped it in three spots along the lane so we could spread with the tractor blade ourselves. Held up through a wet spring this year without a single truck getting stuck.”

“Redid the bed around our mailbox and the sign post out front with about three quarters of a ton of river rock after the mulch there never stayed put in the wind. Rounded stone in a nice mix of sizes, looks like something out of a magazine now, and it hasn't scattered onto the road even with how windy it gets out here.”

“We've got a low spot out past the barn where the runoff off the Flint Hills pastures dumps into a culvert, and every spring it chewed the bank back a little more. Ordered six tons of the large river rock to armor the outfall and build up a short stretch of dry creek bed leading away from it. The rock is heavy enough that nothing has shifted through a full season of spring storms, and the erosion has completely stopped. Only thing keeping it from a perfect score is the color coming in grayer than the tan shown in the photos online.”

“Eight yards of fill dirt went into a low spot in the backyard that held standing water for days after every storm, ordered through Kansas Rock Supply after a neighbor recommended them. Spread it out with the tractor box blade and graded it to drain toward the ditch instead of pooling by the patio. One wet spring behind us now and the yard drains within an hour of a hard rain.”

“Laid two tons along the side yard between our house and the fence where grass never grew right anyway. Small stone is easy on bare feet in summer and drains fast after the hard rains we get out here on the High Plains. Neighbors have asked twice now where we got it.”

“Our installer specified number 57 for the drain field lines out past the machine shed, about nine tons total for the whole system. The tri-axle dropped it right at the property edge where we marked flags for him, no backing over the yard. Inspector signed off the same week and it's been through a full year of Kansas weather without a hiccup.”

“We wanted washed sand to level the base under a new above ground pool, and the calculator on the site suggested it over mason sand for this job, so we ordered four tons for the whole footprint. Screeded it out over a couple of afternoons and the pool has sat level and steady through a full summer of use with the grandkids swimming most weekends. Only thing that surprised us was the texture came in noticeably coarser and grittier than the description led us to expect, more like a fine gravel sand than the smooth stuff we pictured. Worked fine in the end, just wasn't what we had in mind.”

“Six tons topped off a quarter mile driveway full of potholes from last winter's freeze and thaw. Graded it ourselves with the tractor box blade in an afternoon. Smooth ride to the mailbox now, even after last week's rain.”

“We needed six yards of top soil to level a stretch of the backyard before laying sod along the fence line where the ground dipped lower than the rest of the lot. Soil itself is fine and screened well, no rocks or debris mixed through it, and the sod rooted in evenly with no dips showing through. Only complaint is our street is narrow with cars parked on both sides most days, so the tandem couldn't get near the driveway and ended up dumping the whole load at the curb. Took my son and me most of a Saturday wheelbarrowing it around back before we could even start spreading.”

“Ordered twelve tons through Kansas Rock Supply for the low spot by the calving barn where the cows churn everything to mud by February. The tri-axle dumped it in two piles just like I asked so I could spread it with the loader myself. It's held firm through two thaws and a nasty ice storm, and the cows aren't slipping around anymore.”

“Two summers ago our church started a garden to grow produce for the local food pantry, and we've expanded it every year since. This spring we brought in six yards of garden soil for six new beds to keep up with demand. Rich, dark, and full of organic matter right out of the truck, no weeds or clumps to deal with before planting. First harvest this year came in earlier and heavier than any bed we've grown before, and the pantry has had fresh tomatoes and squash every week since June.”

“Kansas Rock Supply brought out fourteen tons of crusher run for the base under our new gravel driveway last winter. Compacted like concrete once we ran the tamper over it twice, and it shrugged off the ice storm in January without a single soft spot. Cheaper per ton than the ready mix base our contractor first quoted.”

“We're out on the flat ground west of Goodland where the wind never really quits, and water pools against the foundation something awful when we get a gully washer off the plains. Ordered nine tons based on the yard's online calculator for a drain strip running the length of the house. Ended up about a ton short on the far corner where the ground dips more than we realized, so we had to call in a small add on order the next week. Once it was all down the water finally moves away from the house instead of sitting against it.”

“We dug a French drain the whole length of the walkout basement wall after two summers of water finding its way in through the block, and it took about seven tons of drain rock to fill the trench once the pipe and fabric were in. The stone is exactly what a drain needs, clean with almost no fines to clog anything. The only complaint is the load showed up soaked through, heavier than expected, and it took an extra day to drain out enough before we could handle it with a shovel. Basement's been through one full rainy season since and hasn't taken on a drop of water.”

“Ordered five tons of the number 8 for a walkway from the driveway to the front porch after the concrete guy quoted way more than we wanted to spend. Kansas Rock Supply had it out here within the delivery window they gave over the phone, dumped on a tarp so the grass stayed clean. Looks sharp and my mother in law can push her walker over it with no trouble.”

“We used the online calculator on the Kansas Rock Supply site to figure out how much we needed for topping off about two hundred feet of driveway leading up from the road, and it said thirteen tons would do it. Spread it out over the worst of the ruts and low spots first, then worked backward toward the garage, and ran out about fifteen feet short of the end near the mailbox. Had to place a small follow up order the next week to finish that last stretch. Everything else about it was solid, drains fine and hasn't washboarded since we put it down in the fall.”

“Our church put in a small memorial garden behind the fellowship hall this spring, and a group of us volunteers laid about three tons of the three eighths crushed stone for the paths between the beds. It was easy enough for the older folks on the crew to shovel and rake without it wearing them out, and small enough that the kids from Sunday school could help spread it too without anybody getting hurt on sharp edges. Weeks later after a couple of good thunderstorms rolled through the county it hasn't washed or shifted at all, and it looks just as clean as the day we finished it.”

“Got a ton and a half of mason sand through Kansas Rock Supply for repointing some old mortar joints on the chimney and mixing small batches by hand. Grain is fine and consistent, mixed up smooth with no grit problems. Only issue was the load arrived soaked through, heavier than expected off the truck, and we had to spread it out on tarps for a day to dry before it would work in the mixer.”

“Ten tons of railroad ballast around the feed bunks where the cattle used to churn everything to mud every winter. Drains fast, nothing but big rock so the cows can't work it into soup. Solid footing even during the thaw.”

“Put down about seven tons of crusher run for the base under a new gravel parking pad for the food truck we run on weekends. Compacted into a rock hard surface within a couple days once we wet it down and rolled it with the lawn tractor. Only downside was how much dust it kicked up while we were spreading it, had everyone coughing by the end of the afternoon.”

“We used about five tons backfilling around the new addition's foundation before the landscaper came through with mulch beds. Drains well and packed in tight against the block, but it kicked up more dust unloading than I expected, enough that we hosed down the driveway and the neighbor's fence after. The foundation stayed dry through the wet week that followed.”

“Eight tons went over the old base on the lane running to the barn, right where the tractor and the grain cart cut deep ruts every fall. It packed down solid within a week of us driving over it and hasn't shifted since, even with the wet spring we just had. Cheaper than trucking gravel ourselves from the county pit, and Kansas Rock Supply had it out here the same week we called.”

“Put six tons of riprap along the bank where our pond spills over during heavy rain, replacing dirt that kept sliding into the water. Locks together well and stopped the erosion completely after one wet spring. A few pieces came in bigger than I expected to handle by hand, closer to the size of a microwave, so we needed the tractor bucket for those instead of just muscling them into place.”

“Our driveway climbs a good grade off the main road and the old gravel would slide right back down every winter after it thawed. Put down eleven tons of the three quarter inch from Kansas Rock Supply and had it compacted in two passes before topping with finer stone. First full winter behind us now and the base hasn't budged, even through a couple of ice mornings.”

“One ton of gravel sand mixed into a small batch of concrete for setting fence posts along the property line. Coarse and easy to work in the wheelbarrow, and every post has stayed solid through a year of wind.”

“Two tons of river rock from Kansas Rock Supply for a bed along the front walk where the old pea gravel kept migrating into the lawn. Color and size are exactly what the photos showed, and it's stayed put through a full summer of watering the flower beds. Only nitpick is a handful of pieces had rough broken edges instead of the smooth rounded look of the rest, noticeable if you look closely.”

“Our turn-in off the county road washes out every time we get a hard rain, so Kansas Rock Supply delivered eighteen tons of the number four which we spread and compacted before laying the finer gravel on top. The tandem driver eased it right up to the fence line without tearing up the ditch grass. Three months of wind and a couple downpours later, it's still solid, no washboarding at all.”

“Backfilled behind a new retaining wall along the sloped part of the yard with about five tons of drain rock before the wall guy closed it up with soil and sod. No standing water against the wall even after the heavy spring rains we got this year, and the wall hasn't bulged or shifted an inch since it went in last fall.”

“Ordered three tons of walkway gravel through Kansas Rock Supply for a path winding between the raised beds in our community garden plot. Soft enough underfoot for the older volunteers, and small enough that it didn't hurt bare feet when the grandkids ran through during the summer picnic. Delivered right to the curb where we asked, no mess on the sidewalk.”

“We park several grain trucks and a couple loaders on our lot overnight during harvest, and the old dirt turned into a mess by October every year. Fifteen tons of railroad ballast fixed that, drains fast and doesn't compact into mud under the weight. First full harvest season on it now and the trucks haven't sunk in once, even after a week of rain.”

“Put down two and a half tons around the crawl space vents where water always backed up after storms. Drains great and packed in nice against the block. Only gripe is the stone showed up more gray than the tan color in the online photos, which threw off matching it to the river rock we already had along the front bed.”

“Had three old tree stumps ground down in the front yard and the holes needed filling before we could reseed, so Kansas Rock Supply brought out six yards of top soil to fill and level it all. Raked it smooth and got grass seed down within the week. Whole front yard is green and even now, no sign of where the stumps used to be.”

“Two tons leveled out a spot for the camper next to the garage before deer season. Compacts firm underfoot and drains fast, no puddling even after the heavy rain we got last week.”

“Half a ton of mason sand went into the joints of a new paver patio off the back porch, ordered from Kansas Rock Supply the same week we set the pavers. Fine enough to work down between every gap with a broom, and it locked the pavers together nicely once we compacted it in with the plate tamper. No weeds coming up through the joints after a full summer either.”

“We poured a paver patio behind the house out in St. Francis and used gravel sand as the leveling base under the pavers. Two tons spread out evenly with a screed board, and everything has stayed flat and tight through a full season of freeze and thaw. Kansas Rock Supply beat the price of the lumberyard's bagged sand by a wide margin.”

“Used about two tons of the large river rock to border the little pond out back and keep the bank from washing into the water. Big enough that the grandkids can walk on it without shifting the rocks around, and it's stayed exactly where we placed it through a full year of freezing and thawing.”

“Two tons of washed sand filled the horseshoe pits out back before our Labor Day tournament here in Grainfield. Kansas Rock Supply matched the price the county quoted, and my brothers spent the evening raking it level before guests showed up. It played fast and clean all weekend, and everybody who threw a shoe went home happy.”

“Had four tons of gravel sand from Kansas Rock Supply brought out for mixing concrete on a small patio extension behind the house. Sand itself is exactly what our mix called for, coarse and clean with nothing to sift out. Only complaint is the driver backed out across the corner of the yard instead of pulling straight through, leaving a couple of ruts in the grass that took a few weeks to grow back over.”

“Topped off our long driveway out past Parsons with a fresh load of driveway gravel before harvest traffic picked up. Kansas Rock Supply's driver got there, but not until the very end of the window, well past when we'd cleared the afternoon for it. Gravel itself packed in nice and the ruts are gone, so no real complaints beyond the wait.”

“Had six tons brought out for a chip seal refresh on the lane between the house and the equipment barn. Stone itself is the right size and spread evenly with the tractor blade once it dried, but the load came noticeably wet off the truck, which slowed down the whole afternoon while we waited for it to drain enough to work with.”

“Ordered a ton and a half of river rock through Kansas Rock Supply for the splash areas under two downspouts where mulch used to wash across the patio every storm. Rounded stone stays put and looks a lot nicer than the plain gravel we had there before. No erosion at all after a summer full of thunderstorms rolling through.”

“Needed about fourteen tons to top off three hundred feet of driveway that had gotten rutted out from the tenant's truck. Kansas Rock Supply came in noticeably cheaper per ton than the local quarry and still had it here inside two days. Compacted nice with the plate tamper and my renters haven't complained about potholes since it went down in April.”

“Six yards of fill dirt to fill in the hole where our old above ground pool used to sit. Packed it down in layers with the tractor bucket, and the ground hasn't settled or sunk through a year of rain.”
