Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Dallas City, IL

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Dallas City, IL? Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, and the question to settle first is what the ground under your project needs.

On the loess uplands above the Mississippi, water moves fast on slopes and sits in the flats. That makes CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market calls road base, the starting point for most pads and drives.

Materials for Dallas City Projects

Start with what goes under the finished surface. Fill dirt raises grade and builds up a pad before anything structural goes on top of it, and it is the first load on a lot that sits low or holds water.

Once grade is set, CA-6 goes down as the compacted sub-base. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, which is what lets it tighten up under a drive, a parking pad, a shed floor or a garage slab.

Drainage is the other half of the job. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, used for bedding under pipe, French drains and drainage trenches.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that Illinois yards sell alongside it for the same kind of work.

For a driveway surface, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base or resurfaces an existing drive. Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable finish.

Bedding and finishing materials round out a project. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Washed Sand, which this market calls torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Ground and Conditions in Dallas City

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

That matters most where fill goes in. Fill placed on soft, wet ground will not hold a compacted base above it, and the surface above starts to move.

Build the grade first, then bring in the CA-6.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Gullies cut into loess on steep bluffs and ravines, and cut slopes slump when water gets behind them.

Concentrated runoff needs a place to go before a pad is finished.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Low ground near the river waits out spring high water, so time a grade-raising job around that.

Questions About Ordering in Dallas City

What is the best base under pavers in Dallas City?

Use CA-6 as the compacted sub-base, then bed the pavers in lime screenings. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it tightens up under load.

Screenings give you the fine, level layer the pavers sit in. On ground that stays wet, put clean stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 under the base for drainage.
