Buy Fill Dirt in Greenview, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Greenview, IL to driveways, building pads and garden beds. You order online, 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. Around Greenview the ground is flat prairie silt loam, so what you put on top of it matters.

Materials for Greenview Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. Fill dirt raises a low spot or brings a pad up to grade before anything else goes down.

Screened top soil then gives you the dark silt loam that lawns and beds actually grow in.

For raised beds and vegetable plots, garden soil is blended for planting rather than for structural fill. Shredded mulch finishes the beds and holds moisture through a hot Illinois summer.

Once grade is set, CA-6 goes down as the compacted base for drives, parking pads and shed floors. It is the same material some yards call crusher run, and it is what a driveway needs under the surface stone.

Washed stone handles water. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch clean sizes for drainage trenches, French drains and bedding under concrete flatwork.

CA-16 chips, at 3/8 inch, bed permeable pavers and top a compacted base.

Sand and decorative stone round out an order. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and mason sand is the finer grade for mortar and paver joints.

Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock cover walkways, beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Greenview

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, water stands rather than runs after heavy rain. The ground is flat, the clay subsoil beneath it is dense, and there is almost no natural fall.

That is why drainage matters more here than slope. A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 lets water move through a trench instead of sitting against a foundation.

A fines-bearing material will not do that job.

Bare silt loam also washes. Sheet erosion takes topsoil off a graded yard, and runoff that concentrates will cut a gully.

Seeding or mulching a fresh grade soon after it is shaped keeps that soil in place.

Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring after repeated freeze and thaw. The building department sets the footing depth for your area, so check with them on anything structural.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. A wet spring leaves the ground slow to dry, and winter freezes it solid, so plan grading and base work for the open months.
