Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Carrollton, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Carrollton, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives, pads and drainage, and homeowners patching a lane or topping a garden bed.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in that most base work here starts from. It comes out of the loess uplands that shape this part of Greene County.

Materials for Carrollton Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Carrollton project usually begins. CA-6 packs down into a firm, tight surface for drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

If you are resurfacing a drive that already has a solid base, Driveway Gravel tops it off. For a path or garden walk that needs a finer, walkable surface, Walkway Gravel is the lighter option.

Clean washed stone is the other half of the work. CA-7, sold as #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, has no fines, so water moves through it.

It beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and French drains, and sits under concrete flatwork.

CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone, does the same jobs at a smaller size.

CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone are the two to weigh against each other.

For tighter work, CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch limestone chips used for permeable paver bedding and for topping a compacted base.

Sand and soil round out a load. Torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards call by that name, goes into concrete, leveling and bedding.

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

Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and it is sold screened for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots, and fill dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Decorative stone finishes the job. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

River gravel and large river rock cover beds, borders, dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

Ground and Conditions in Carrollton

Start with where the water goes. Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That split drives two different material choices on the same property.

On a slope, runoff concentrates and cuts. Gully and rill erosion in loess is the pattern on steep bluffs and ravines, and it shows up on cut slopes as slumping.

Riprap armors a bank or a culvert outlet where the flow lands.

On flat ground the water sits instead. A drive or pad there needs a clean drainage layer under the surface so water has somewhere to move.

CA-7 or CA-11 does that job because the washed stone carries no fines to hold moisture.

Freeze and thaw is the other factor. Winters here are cold, milder than upstate but still enough that frost lifts drives and walks each spring.

The frost depth figure is set by the local building department, not by a supplier.

Timing matters too. Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate.

Bottomland sites wait out spring high water before a truck can get in and out cleanly.
