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

Both work, and the choice comes down to how you have measured the job. If you know the volume you need to fill, order by the yard. If you are working from weight, order by the ton. Each product page has a calculator that helps you size the load either way before you check out.

Which stone is best for drainage in Sedgwick County?

Clean washed stone is the right family for drainage. 1 Inch Clean suits French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding, while Drain Rock covers dry wells and downspout runs. Both carry water instead of trapping it. Avoid fines-bearing material in a drainage trench, because sand and silt here will clog it over time.

What do I need to have ready for a bulk delivery?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable by a dump truck, and know the quantity you want. The truck tips the load in one pile on arrival. Choose your delivery date at checkout when you place the order.

Sedgwick County, KS Aggregate and Rock Delivery

Kansas Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Sedgwick County, KS to contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers arrive with a full set of plans and a base already specified.

Others are topping a drive or bedding a patio and want help sorting one material from the next.

Either way, the order usually starts with AB-3.

Materials Delivered in Sedgwick County

AB-3 is dense-graded crushed limestone, crushed rock and fines graded together to roughly 1 1/2 inch down.

City and county work references the same class.

Order AB-3 for driveways, parking pads, shed and shop bases, and road shoulders. It locks up tight when it is moisture-conditioned and rolled.

If a full base is more than the job needs, 1 inch minus covers topping a drive, patching soft spots and building up shoulders.

Sand and soil round out the list. Mason Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Top Soil and Fill Dirt cover new lawns, bed prep and raising grade before a base goes down.

Choosing the Right Material

Ground in Sedgwick County and Harvey County is the same: sand, gravel and silt laid down by the Arkansas River, with stabilized dune sand and a sandy loam over the top. There is no difference in the base or drainage choice between the two.

Butler County and Cowley County are a real contrast. Their ground is thin cherty clay over flat-lying Permian limestone and shale, with cherty gravel on the hilltops and rock often only inches below the surface.

That changes what a base has to do. On deep sandy ground, a surface course with no binding fines can sink straight into the sand, so a dense-graded material such as AB-3 or 1 inch minus does the work of holding a drive together.

On thin rocky clay, drainage is the harder problem, and clean washed stone such as 1 inch clean or 3/4 inch crushed stone carries water away instead of trapping it.

Ground Conditions Across Sedgwick County

Across the Arkansas River Lowlands and the south-central sand prairie, sand drains fast. That sounds like good news until a surface course with no binding fines sinks straight into it.

The water table also sits close under parts of the valley floor, so drainage layers matter as much as surface material.

Wind moves loose sand as soon as the cover is broken. Rivers on the Arkansas River Lowlands and the south-central sand prairie side scour their banks in spring high water, which is where rip rap earns its place on stream banks, pond banks and culvert outlets.

Winters are moderate by Kansas standards, but freeze and thaw cycles still move a drive that has no proper base under it. Frost depth is about 24 inches in Wichita and Sedgwick County under the locally adopted code, and other jurisdictions in the band set their own figure.

The working season runs long, limited mainly by wet spring weeks and high summer heat. Sandy ground is back in shape quickly after rain.
