Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Granville, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Granville, IL by the ton or the yard. Illinois Rock Supply delivers CA-6, washed stone, sand and soil to Putnam County sites.

Granville sits on the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, where loamy prairie soils over dolomite meet tight till and a high water table on the flat ground. That ground shapes what you put on top of it.

Materials for Granville Projects

Start with the ground itself. Grading and bed prep begin with soil, not stone, and the wrong fill under a lawn or bed shows up for years.

Order the soil to grade with, then cap it with stone where traffic runs.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

• Top Soil, screened prairie topsoil for lawns, grading and bed prep.
• Garden Soil for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas.
• Fill Dirt for bulk fill and raising grade before a base course goes down.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings, holding moisture through an Illinois summer.

Base and Washed Stone

CA-6, also called road base, 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.

CA-6 gets the work under a lawn or a slab.

Clean stone drains instead of packing. CA-7 is washed 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold locally as CA-11, handles the same jobs at 3/4 inch.

For tighter work, CA-16 Chips bed permeable pavers and top a compacted base. Lime Screenings, what Illinois yards call screenings, set paver and flagstone bedding and backfill around pipe.

Sand

Washed Sand is torpedo sand here, coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Decorative and Heavy Stone

Rounded stone finishes beds and borders. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix, and River Gravel or Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

RipRap, graded RR 3 through RR 7, armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Granville

Water drives everything here. Snowmelt and spring rain run across frozen ground before the soil can take them, and the flat ground over tight till holds what does soak in.

On the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country side, that means drainage first and base second. Put a clean washed layer where water has to move, and keep fines out of it.

CA-7 and CA-11 are specified for exactly that reason.

Some ground in this part of the state drains almost too fast instead. Sandy pockets and the sand plains that break up the till take water straight down, so a bed or a lawn on that ground dries out and needs the soil built back up before anything is planted.

Wind and water both move bare ground. Sheet and gully erosion shows on steeper till slopes, and bare sand blows.

Get fill and topsoil covered and planted rather than left open.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little shorter than downstate. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and repeated freeze and thaw works on unbound base and shallow footings.

Building departments in the northern counties set footing depth near 42 inches, so check with the local office before you dig.
