Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Ava, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Ava, IL from Illinois Rock Supply. Pick your material, choose a quantity by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips it on your site.

Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads and shed bases on this ground.

Materials for Ava Projects

CA-6 is the base material for this part of Illinois. Fines bind the crushed limestone together so it compacts into a firm surface for a driveway, a parking pad, a garage floor base or trench backfill.

Pair CA-6 with Driveway Gravel when you are surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted base.

Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it. Use CA-7 for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone that goes with it on the same kind of work.

For tighter spots, CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand and soil round out a project. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots. For decorative work, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas, and River Gravel suits beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Ava

Across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, steep ground concentrates runoff into narrow hollows fast. Thin soil over rock has nowhere to store water, and Gulf moisture arrives in large amounts at once.

That water is what shapes the work here. It scours hillside drives and culvert outlets, gullies steep unsurfaced tracks, and flash floods the hollows.

A drive on a slope sheds water instead of holding it.

So a compacted CA-6 surface matters more than depth alone. The fines knit the stone into a surface that resists being cut apart by fast water, and clean washed stone under it gives that water somewhere to go.

The working season runs from late winter into early winter, the longest in Illinois. Wet weather and soft hillside access set the limit, not frozen ground.
