Buy Fill Dirt in Dongola, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Dongola, IL. Order fill dirt, topsoil and CA-6 online by the ton or yard, and a dump truck tips it on your site.

Dongola sits in Union County, in the unglaciated hill country of southern Illinois. Thin soil over rock changes how you grade a lot and how you build a drive.

Materials for Dongola Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill. Raise a low spot with Fill Dirt, then cap it with a base course.

For lawns and beds, Top Soil is screened and ready to spread. Prairie topsoil here is dark and silty, so it holds moisture well.

Raised beds and vegetable plots do better on Garden Soil, which is blended for planting rather than grading.

Once grade is set, CA-6 builds the driveway, parking pad or shed base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts.

For wet ground, washed stone carries water instead of holding it.

• CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for pipe bedding, drainage trenches and French drains.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, beds concrete flatwork and drainage.
• Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand covers concrete and mortar work. Washed Sand is torpedo sand, coarse and washed for concrete and leveling.

Mason Sand is finer and goes into brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Decorative stone finishes beds and borders. River Gravel and Large River Rock build dry creek beds and splash areas.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through the summer.

Ground and Conditions in Dongola

Across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, steep ground pushes runoff into narrow hollows fast. Thin soil over rock has nowhere to store it.

Heavy rain arrives in large amounts at once. Water then scours hillside drives, cuts gully lines into unsurfaced tracks and washes out culvert outlets.

Plan drainage before you build. Clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 moves water, while a fines-bearing material like CA-6 compacts into a base.

Rock fall and slumping on cut banks are common on this ground. RipRap armors slopes, banks and pond edges where runoff hits hard.

Springs and wet spots near the surface need a drainage layer, not more fill on top.

The working season here runs long, from late winter into early winter. Wet weather and soft hillside access set the limit, not frozen ground.

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

Choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck arrives and tips the load in one pile on your site.

Have the drop area clear and reachable before the truck gets there. Bulk loads need room to tip and a firm surface to sit on.
