Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Fithian, IL

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Fithian, IL, Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and the yard. This part of the Grand Prairie till plain sits on deep, dark prairie silt loam over dense clay subsoil, and that clay is what decides how much base a drive or pad actually needs.

Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Materials for Fithian Projects

Decorative work carries a lot of yards here, and rounded stone is where it starts. River Gravel is the washed rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Bigger stone does the heavier work: Large River Rock lines a dry creek bed and takes downspout splash where the water lands hard.

For a walkable surface, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways, play areas and fence post mix. Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer finish.

Beds and tree rings hold moisture better under Shredded Mulch, which is the shredded hardwood mulch for planting areas. Under all of it, a drive or patio still needs a compacted base, and that is CA-6.

Drainage and concrete work runs on clean washed stone instead. CA-7 is the 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains, and 3/4" Crushed Stone is CA-11 for the same bedding and concrete flatwork.

Bedding layers want finer material. Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and backfill around pipe, and CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and topping a compacted base.

Sand rounds out the list. Washed Sand is torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding, while Mason Sand is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Where a slope or a culvert outlet needs armoring, RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection and pond edges, set as gradations RR 3 through RR 7.

Soil and fill finish the order. Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil for lawns and bed prep, and Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Fithian

The Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil and almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, so an under-built base stays soft and moves.

That is why base depth matters more than surface choice on a drive or pad here. A fines-bearing material like CA-6 compacts into a base; clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 drains instead, so the two do different jobs.

Erosion shows up as sheet erosion off bare silt loam and gullying where runoff concentrates. RipRap at a culvert outlet or pond edge is the heavy answer for that.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, so timing the work matters as much as the material.
