Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Fillmore, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Fillmore, IL to patios, drives and building pads. You order by the ton or the yard and a dump truck tips the load on site.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material this part of Illinois builds on. The ground here decides how much of it a patio needs.

Ground and Conditions in Fillmore

Fillmore sits in Montgomery County, on the Southern till plain and claypan country that runs across south central Illinois. Loess covers old, weathered drift, and a tight claypan sits close under it.

That claypan stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, and ground across this part of the state stays saturated for weeks.

A thin base over saturated clay shows its failure fast. The stone pumps under foot traffic and the pavers rock out of line.

The fix is a base built thick enough to bridge the soft layer, with a clean stone layer to move water away from the bedding. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for that work here.

Frequent freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth is about 30 to 36 inches in this part of Illinois, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your footing.

Materials for Fillmore Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the layer that decides whether a patio stays flat. Order it to suit the surface going on top.

Lime screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois, and they set flat under flagstone and pavers. Torpedo sand is what Illinois yards call coarse washed sand, and it beds and levels the same way.

Mason sand is finer, so it suits mortar, paver joints and a sandbox rather than a base. Below all of it, CA-6 carries the load.

Where water needs to move, order clean stone instead. CA-7 is washed 1 inch stone for bedding under pipe and drainage trenches, and CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards sell alongside it.

CA-16 chips top a compacted base and bed permeable pavers. RipRap armors a bank or a culvert outlet, and Top Soil and Shredded Mulch finish the ground around a patio.
