Bulk Material Delivery in Cypress, IL

Rain on these hills runs off fast. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Cypress, IL starts with the stone that moves that water away.

Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, including CA-6 road base for drives and pads.

Across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, thin soil sits over rock and hollows fill quickly in a heavy storm. Washed stone gives the runoff somewhere to go.

Materials for Cypress Projects

Start with clean washed stone. It has no fines, so water passes through instead of pooling.

That is what a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run needs.

CA-7 is washed 1 inch clean stone with no fines. Use it for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

Order it at CA-7.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside CA-7. It beds pipe, drains trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

See 3/4" Crushed Stone.

CA-16 chips are small 3/8 inch chips. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

Order CA-16 Chips.

For heavier work, rip rap is broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and pond edges.

See RipRap.

CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds up driveways, parking pads and shed bases, and it backfills trenches.

Order CA-6.

Steep ground and soft hillside access are the real limits here, not frozen ground. A wet spell can leave a slope too soft for a loaded truck to reach.

Ground and Conditions in Cypress

This part of southern Illinois has the longest working season in the state, running from late winter into early winter. Timing is about wet weather, not cold.

Steep ground pushes runoff into narrow hollows very quickly. Thin soil over rock has nowhere to store water, and Gulf moisture arrives in large amounts at once.

That runoff scours hillside drives and culvert outlets. It gullies steep unsurfaced tracks and slumps cut banks.

Flash flooding in the hollows is part of the picture.

Winters here are the mildest in the state, but freeze and thaw still come and go. Water on these slopes matters more than frost does.

Plan a delivery around a dry stretch when you can. Material dropped on soft ground is harder to work with than material dropped on firm ground.
