Buy Fill Dirt in Alexander, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Alexander, IL online, by the ton or by the yard. Illinois Rock Supply delivers bulk material to Morgan County jobs.

Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market calls road base. It carries fines, so it packs into a firm surface for drives and pads.

Materials for Alexander Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Bring the grade up with fill first, then set your planting and surfacing layers on top.

Soil, Fill and Bed Prep

Fill Dirt raises grade and builds up low spots before a base course goes down. It is bulk material for shaping a site, not a surface.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep. Western Illinois prairie soil is dark and silty, and it goes down screened.

Garden Soil fills raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings.

Base and Stone

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: crushed limestone with the fines left in. Use it under driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe, drains trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch washed sizes Illinois yards sell for drainage and bedding.

Sand and Decorative Stone

Washed Sand, sold as torpedo sand here, is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand goes into brick and block mortar and paver joints.

River Gravel and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel finish beds, borders and walkways.

Ground and Conditions in Alexander

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. Plan where the water goes before you plan the surface.

Deep loess sits over older drift on rolling uplands. On the steeper ground, that silty soil gullies and rills when runoff concentrates, so a drive edge or a cut slope needs armoring.

Cut slopes slump and sinkholes open where runoff gathers. Bank scour works at the channel edges, and concentrated flow is what moves the ground.

Use RipRap for bank protection, culvert outlets and pond edges. Clean stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives water a path instead of a puddle.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Freeze and thaw still lift drives and walks each spring.
