Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Avon, IL

If you are planning a new lawn, a raised bed, or a pad that needs to sit at the right grade, you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Avon, IL. Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and the yard, and a dump truck tips it on your site.

Most grading starts with topsoil and fill, then a compacted base of CA-6, also called road base, goes down under drives and pads. Everything else follows from how you prep the ground.

Materials for Avon Projects

Grading and bed prep come first here. Deep loess soils on the uplands above Avon hold a lot of silt, so the material you put on top of them has to be chosen for what you are building, not just for how it looks.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas.

For raising grade before anything goes on top, Fill Dirt builds up low spots and levels a site so a base course can follow.

Base material is where the structure comes from. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is the Illinois base for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Washed stone handles water and bedding. CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone, also sold as CA-11, are clean stone with no fines for drainage trenches, French drains, pipe bedding and concrete flatwork.

For sand, Washed Sand is the coarse torpedo sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is finer, for mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Decorative and specialty stone rounds out a project. River Gravel and Large River Rock cover beds, borders and dry creek beds, while RipRap handles bank protection and slope armoring.

Ground and Conditions in Avon

Water is the driver across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border. Loess sheds rain fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so a slope above Avon and a level lot a mile away drain nothing alike.

That split decides where clean stone belongs. A drainage run or French drain needs washed stone with the fines washed out, so water moves through it instead of pooling.

CA-7 and CA-11 are the sizes to specify for that work.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Gully and rill erosion in loess shows up on steep ground, and slumping on cut slopes is common where runoff concentrates.

RipRap armors a bank or culvert outlet where the flow is strong.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Cold winters bring freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring, which is why a compacted CA-6 base matters under any paved or gravel surface.

Questions About Ordering in Avon

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Avon?

Yes. Bulk material is ordered by the ton or by the yard, and you set the quantity when you place the order online.

Each product page carries a calculator that helps you size the load before you check out. Pick your delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Topsoil, garden soil, fill dirt, CA-6 and washed stone are all sold this way.

What stone should I use for drainage in Avon?

Use clean washed stone for drainage. CA-7 and CA-11 are the Illinois gradations for 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed stone, and both work for French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding because the fines have been washed out and water passes through.

CA-16 chips suit tighter spots. CA-6 has the fines left in, so it is a compacted base material, not a drainage stone.
