Bulk Material Delivery in Annapolis, IL

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Annapolis, IL? Illinois Rock Supply delivers bulk stone, sand and soil here in Crawford County.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material most drives and pads in this area start from. Around the Southern till plain, the ground itself decides the rest, so the material has to match the job.

Materials for Annapolis Projects

Start with the coarse end. Heavy broken stone is what holds a slope, lines a swale or armors a ditch bank when runoff has somewhere to go and nothing to slow it down.

RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring. Gradations RR 3 through RR 7 are how those sizes get specified.

#4 Crushed Stone is large clean stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

For drainage that has to move water rather than stop it, clean washed stone is the choice. CA-7 goes under pipe, in drainage trenches and French drains, and beneath concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size sold alongside CA-7 for bedding and concrete work. Both are washed, so water passes through instead of perching.

Then the compacting base materials. CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone for driveways, parking pads and trench backfill.

You can order it at CA-6, and Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive.

Finer material finishes the job. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

Delivery to Annapolis and the Surrounding Area

Illinois Rock Supply covers Annapolis and the rest of Crawford County, including Robinson, Oblong, Palestine, Hutsonville and Flat Rock. You order online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator to size the load, and you pick your delivery date at checkout.

The truck tips everything in one pile, so the drop spot needs to be somewhere the material can sit while you work. A firm, dry approach helps the truck get in and out without trouble.

Ground and Conditions in Annapolis

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the season runs longer at both ends than it does upstate. A wet winter and spring still keep sites soft well into April, so late summer and fall are the reliable windows for a delivery.

The claypan subsoil sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Rain perches on top of it, ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base pumps under traffic.

That is the reason a clean washed stone drainage layer matters here, and why a fines-bearing base needs the water managed before it goes down. Sheet and gully erosion where the thin loess is bared is the other local problem.

Winters are cold but shorter than in the north, with repeated freeze and thaw swings that work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth is set by the local building department, so check with Crawford County before you build anything that goes in the ground.

If you are ordering screenings or sand, Washed Sand is the torpedo sand for concrete, leveling and bedding, while Mason Sand is the finer sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Questions About Ordering Stone in Annapolis

What stone should I use for drainage in Annapolis?

Use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch sizes for French drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs, and they are what contractors specify by number.

For tight bedding, CA-16 chips work. RipRap handles bank protection and culvert outlets where the water volume is heavier.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, firm drop spot the truck can reach and turn around in, and enough room for the pile to sit while you work. The driver tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot close to where the material is going.

Have your order details ready and the site clear of vehicles and equipment.
