Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Donnellson, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Donnellson, IL for contractors and homeowners working on the same ground. For building a driveway, bedding a drain or grading a yard, the choices start with CA-6 and the washed stone that goes with it.

This part of Montgomery County sits on tight claypan subsoil, so water movement matters as much as the material you pick.

Materials for Donnellson Projects

Grading and bed prep are the work behind a lot of orders here, and that starts with soil rather than stone. Screened Top Soil is dark, silty Illinois prairie soil, used for lawns, regrading and bed prep.

For raised beds and vegetable plots, Garden Soil gives you a blended planting mix rather than raw dirt. Fill Dirt raises grade before anything else goes down, and it goes in first, under a base course.

Once grade is set, CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For drainage and bedding, clean washed stone does the work. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean stone that goes alongside it.

Sand and decorative stone round out a load. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Donnellson

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, and ground stays saturated for weeks.

That has a direct effect on what you build. Unbound base pumping under traffic is the result, so a fines-bearing base like CA-6 needs somewhere for the water to go, not just compaction.

Where drainage is the point, switch to clean washed stone. CA-7 and CA-11 have no fines, so they pass water instead of holding it, which suits French drains and foundation drains.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Sheet and gully erosion shows up where the thin loess is bared, and bank scour is a concern along area streams.

Riprap armors slopes, culvert outlets and pond edges where moving water is the problem.

Timing matters too. The working season runs longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April.

Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and base work.
