Bulk Gravel Delivery to Andalusia, IL

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Andalusia, IL runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than it does upstate. Illinois Rock Supply delivers CA-6, road base, clean stone, sand and soil by the ton or the yard.

Plan your load around a season that starts wet and ends cold.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. That shapes what you put under a drive, a pad or a paver walk in Rock Island County.

Ground and Conditions in Andalusia

Bedding and base work here fails at the edges first. Loess soil sheds water quickly on a slope, so a thin base lets the surface move and the edges break down.

The fix is a base with the fines left in, placed over ground that drains. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with those fines intact, and it is the Illinois base material for drives, pads, shed floors and trench backfill.

Where water needs to move instead of sit, bedding and drainage go in clean. CA-7 is washed stone with no fines, and CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it for bedding, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring across this part of the state. Spring high water also sets the schedule on low ground, so the working season is longer than upstate but not year round.

Materials for Andalusia Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice matters most. The bedding layer and the base under it do different jobs, and mixing them up shows up as a walk that rocks or a slab that cracks.

Lime screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois: crushed limestone fines that bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe. CA-16 chips, the 3/8 inch limestone chips, bed permeable pavers, top a compacted base and drain around tanks.

Under the bedding, CA-6 carries the load as a compacted base. CA-7 and CA-11 go where water has to pass through, and torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell, handles leveling and bedding.

Mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints.

Decorative and surface work rounds out a project. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas, river gravel and large river rock handle beds, borders and dry creek beds, and rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Topsoil, garden soil, fill dirt and shredded mulch cover the lawn and planting side. Loess country soil is silty, and fill dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.
