Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Gibson City, IL

Illinois Rock Supply provides gravel and aggregate delivery in Gibson City, IL for contractors and homeowners alike. You can order CA-6, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk and have it tipped on site.

This part of Ford County sits on the Grand Prairie till plain, where deep dark silt loams over dense clay subsoil hold water after heavy rain. That ground is why a compacted base course matters here.

Materials for Gibson City Projects

CA-6 is the base material Illinois yards sell, and it is the one this market knows by name. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

If you are surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted base, Driveway Gravel is the layer you want. For paths and garden walks that need a finer, walkable surface, use Walkway Gravel.

Clean washed stone has no fines, so it drains instead of compacting. CA-7 is the 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone Illinois yards sell alongside it for the same work.

For permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base, CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch size. Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines used to bed pavers and flagstone and to backfill around pipe.

Sand comes in two grades here. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding, and Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Soil and decorative material round out a project. Top Soil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep, while River Gravel is rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Gibson City

Water is the driver on this ground. The Grand Prairie till plain is some of the flattest land in the country, with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall.

Rain and snowmelt stand rather than run, which is why so much farmland here is tile drained. On a driveway or pad, that means the base has to shed water rather than trap it.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets where runoff concentrates, and yard runoff gullies where it gathers. A clean stone drainage layer under a compacted base gives that water somewhere to go.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter, so timing a base or paver job around that window matters.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth is set by the local building department, so check with them before you plan anything below grade.
