Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Flora, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Flora, IL without leaving the house. Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips it at your site.

Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base. It carries a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base.

The ground under it is the claypan country that gives south central Illinois its slow, wet reputation.

Materials for Flora Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here. Fill dirt raises grade before anything else goes down, and screened topsoil finishes lawns and beds.

Garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and yards sell it screened so it spreads clean. Pair it with shredded mulch in beds and tree rings to hold moisture through a southern Illinois summer.

Order Top Soil, Garden Soil and Fill Dirt by the yard.

Base material follows. CA-6 packs into a tight surface for drives, pads and trench backfill, and CA-6 is the name to use when you order it.

Driveway Gravel resurfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Washed stone handles water and bedding. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for pipe bedding, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it, and CA-16 chips cover permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Sand comes two ways. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason sand is finer, for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Decorative options round out a yard. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas, river gravel and large river rock work in beds and dry creek beds, and rip rap armors banks and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Flora

Water drives every decision on ground in this part of the state. Rain and snowmelt soak the loess on top, then hit a tight claypan sitting close to the surface and stop.

That perched water keeps ground saturated for weeks. Unbound base pumps under traffic when it happens, so a base course has to shed water rather than trap it.

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, sites stay soft well into April after a wet winter and spring. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and hauling.

Winters here are shorter than upstate but swing hard between freeze and thaw. That cycle works on saturated clay and heaves drives and walks.

Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets the figure for footings.

Bare loess erodes fast. Sheet and gully erosion opens up where cover is stripped, and banks scour along the Kaskaskia, Little Wabash and Embarras.

Rip rap and clean stone protect those edges.
