Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across Hancock County, IL
If you are building a driveway, setting a patio base or running drainage, gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Hancock County, IL starts with the material the job calls for. Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk aggregate online and delivers it to your site.
For most drives, parking pads and shed bases here, that material is CA-6, also called road base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.
Materials Delivered in Hancock County
CA-6 is the Illinois base material. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it packs into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, garage and shed bases, and trench backfill.
Clean stone has no fines and does not pack. CA-7 is washed 1 inch stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.
CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it for the same work.
CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and backfill around pipe.
Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling. Mason sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Ground Conditions Across Hancock County
Hancock County sits in the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border country. Across that ground region, deep loess covers older Illinoian drift on rolling uplands, with dissected bluffs and steep ravines.
Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. On a drive or pad, that shows up as soft spots and rutting where water sits under a thin layer of stone.
Gully and rill erosion is the other problem in loess on steep ground. Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and slope faces where runoff concentrates.
Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Bottomland sites wait out spring high water.
Choosing the Right Material
Adams County and McDonough County share Hancock County's ground region: deep loess over older Illinoian drift, dissected bluffs, and ravines. The ground is the same, so the material choices are the same.
Schuyler County spans more than one zone. It takes in the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border as well as the Illinois River valley and the sand areas.
Sandy ground there drains faster than loess, which changes what a drainage layer has to do.
For a compacted base, use CA-6. For water that has to move, use clean stone such as CA-7 or CA-11.
For bedding under pavers, use lime screenings or CA-16 chips.
