Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Bethany, IL

Water stands here. The Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil and almost no natural fall.

That is why gravel and aggregate delivery in Bethany, IL starts with drainage, not with looks.

Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material online. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base this market builds on.

Materials for Bethany Projects

Decorative stone carries a lot of the work around here, especially where water needs somewhere to go. Rounded stone reads well in beds and handles runoff at the same time.

For a dry creek bed, line the run with Large River Rock and finish the edges with River Gravel. The bigger stone holds the channel; the smaller stone covers the ground between plantings.

For beds and borders, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers ground without the dust of a crushed product. It also works on walkways and around fence posts.

Where a bed sits under a downspout, a clean washed stone lets water pass instead of ponding. CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone both fit that job, and both bed pipe and drainage trenches.

Then there is the base under everything. CA-6 is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For a patio, the layers matter as much as the surface. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and backfill around pipe.

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, levels and beds concrete work.

Ground and Conditions in Bethany

Start with the soil. Deep, dark prairie silt loam sits over Wisconsin Episode till across this part of the state.

Under the silt is dense clay subsoil with very little fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain. That is why so much of the farmland around here is tile drained.

A base built without drainage in mind will hold water and move under a load.

Bare silt loam also erodes. Sheet erosion takes the fines off exposed ground, and concentrated runoff cuts gullies where field and yard water gathers.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring.
