Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Hanover, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Hanover, IL to driveways, beds and building pads. Start with the calculator on each product page to size the load, then pick the material.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material here. In this corner of the state the ground runs to loess over dolomite, so what sits under a base matters as much as the base itself.

Delivery to Hanover and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page carries a calculator, so you can size the load before you check out.

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on site in one pile. Hanover sits in Jo Daviess County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Galena, East Dubuque, Stockton, Warren and Elizabeth.

Bulk loads are heavy, so a firm, reachable spot for the pile helps the drop go smoothly. Steep drives and hillside pads are the ones to plan around.

Materials for Hanover Projects

Decorative rock does the finish work on a lot of properties here, from bed cover to dry creek beds that carry runoff away from a foundation.

River Gravel is the rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds, downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work.

For a softer surface, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways, play areas and fence post mix. Walkway Gravel covers paths and garden walks that need a finer, walkable surface.

Under all of it, CA-6 is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Where water has to move, CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Hanover

Across the Driftless and old-drift northwest, deep wind-blown loess sits over dolomite and limestone. Soil is thin on the ridges, and the valley sides are steep with rock close to the surface.

Steep ground moves water fast into narrow valleys, and heavy rain runs off loess ridges before it can soak in. Springs and seeps come out of the dolomite.

That shapes what goes under a drive or a pad. An under-built base on a slope gives way to gully and rill erosion in the loess, and cut banks slump.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. A wet spring turns the loess greasy, which makes steep drives and hillside pads the hardest to build.

Cold winters bring sharp freeze and thaw, and frost works harder on thin soils over rock and on cut slopes. Frost depth in northern Illinois runs about 42 inches, and the local building department sets it.
