Bulk Gravel Delivery to Carbon Cliff, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Carbon Cliff, IL for two kinds of buyers. Contractors working in Rock Island County order by the ton and build to a spec.

Homeowners fixing a drive, a path or a garden bed order the same materials in smaller loads.

Most of that work starts with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base. It packs into a firm surface for drives, pads and shed bases.

Ground and Conditions in Carbon Cliff

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, the ground is deep loess over older drift. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so a thin base shows its failure quickly.

A walk or drive laid on too little base ruts, pumps mud at the edges and loses its shape after a wet spring. The fix is more base material under the surface, not a thicker layer of the surface stone itself.

Gully and rill erosion in loess on steep bluffs and ravines is common in this part of the state, and slumping shows up on cut slopes. Where runoff concentrates, a path edge washes out first.

Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring, so the base has to be built to take that movement.

Materials for Carbon Cliff Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways in Carbon Cliff. They bed pavers, surface garden walks and give a walkable finish that holds its line.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Use them under pavers and flagstone and as backfill around pipe.

Walkway Gravel is the finer surface for paths and garden walks. It gives a surface you can walk on without the loose roll of larger stone.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It goes under driveways, parking pads and garage bases, and it backfills trenches.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. They also top a compacted base.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe, drains French drains and trench bottoms, and sits under concrete flatwork.

Top Soil and Shredded Mulch finish the beds and tree rings around a new walk. Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and yards sell it screened.
