Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Dalton City, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Dalton City, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building and repairing drives, pads and drainage, and homeowners filling in a driveway or resetting a walk. Both work on the same ground, so both start in the same place, with CA-6.

CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It is what sets under a drive, a parking pad, a shed floor or a trenched-in line before anything else goes on top.

Materials for Dalton City Projects

Start with the base course and work out from there. CA-6 is the state base term, and it is the layer that carries the load on a drive or a pad.

The fines bind it together, so it tightens into a firm surface once it is placed and worked in.

Driveway surfacing follows the same logic. Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base or re-surfaces a drive that has gone loose and rutted.

Crusher Run is the same idea under a secondary name, crushed stone with the fines still in it for base and drives.

Washed stone has no fines, which is the whole point of it. It stays open, so water moves through instead of sitting.

CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone (CA-11) are the 3/4 to 1 inch clean sizes, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

Smaller clean chips do tighter work. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

Lime Screenings, the Illinois name for limestone screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand and soil round out a job. Washed Sand is the coarse torpedo sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding, and Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

For ground cover, Top Soil is screened prairie topsoil for lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through an Illinois summer.

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

River Gravel and Large River Rock cover beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Dalton City

Dalton City sits in Moultrie County on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois. Across this region the ground is flat to gently rolling, laid over deep, dark prairie silt loams.

What matters after a storm is where the water goes. This is some of the flattest ground in the country, and the dense clay subsoil beneath the silt loam leaves almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs.

That shapes material choice more than anything else on the page. A fines-bearing material like CA-6 tightens and holds, which is what a drive or a pad needs.

A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 stays open so water passes through, which is what a trench, a French drain or a downspout run needs.

Bare silt loam also sheets and gullies where runoff concentrates, and stream banks scour after heavy rain. Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes that take that flow.

Timing follows the season. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall.

The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring, and it is frozen solid through the winter, so a job started too early has nothing firm to work on.
