Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Collinsville, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Collinsville, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners patching a lane or topping a garden bed. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material this part of Illinois is built on.

Collinsville sits in Madison County, where deep loess covers older drift on rolling uplands. That ground shapes which material fits your job.

Materials for Collinsville Projects

Start with the base course. CA-6 is crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it compacts into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

See CA-6 for the full listing.

For a finished drive surface, Driveway Gravel goes over a compacted base. Crusher Run is the same fines-bearing stone under a secondary name, and it works as base and drive material.

Clean washed stone has no fines, so it drains instead of compacting. CA-7 is the 1 inch washed stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it for the same bedding and drainage work. Both are listed as CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone.

Sand covers the flatwork and masonry side. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding, and mason sand is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Look at Washed Sand and Mason Sand.

Soil and decorative material round out a project. Screened topsoil feeds lawns and bed prep, garden soil fills raised beds, and rounded river gravel dresses borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Collinsville

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, water is the driver. Loess sheds rain and snowmelt fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so a drive on a grade moves water somewhere and a drive on level ground sits in it.

That decides your material choice. A fines-bearing base like CA-6 compacts and sheds surface water when it is shaped, while clean washed stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 lets water pass through instead of trapping it.

Erosion follows the same pattern in this part of the state: gully and rill cutting in loess on steep ground, slumping on cut slopes, and concentrated runoff around sinkholes. Where runoff gathers, stone that drains beats soil that saturates.

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.
