Bulk Gravel Delivery to Hillsdale, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hillsdale, IL for driveways, patios and drainage work. If you are bedding pavers or pouring flatwork, the material under the slab matters as much as the slab.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base most of that work starts from.

This part of Rock Island County sits on deep loess over older drift, ground that sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

Ground and Conditions in Hillsdale

Loess is silty and it moves when water gets under it. A base that looks fine in July can show ruts and soft spots by the next spring thaw.

The failure usually shows at the edges first, where a thin base has nothing holding it. The fix is a base course with the fines left in, placed over ground that has been shaped to drain.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, gully and rill erosion cuts into steep ground and slumping shows on cut slopes. Water that concentrates has to go somewhere, and a clean stone drainage layer gives it a path.

Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring, so plan the base and the drainage together.

Materials for Hillsdale Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the wrong material shows up fastest. A bedding layer has to be fine, uniform and easy to screed, and it has to sit on a base that will not pump when it gets wet.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines that bed pavers and flagstone, and they backfill around pipe. This is the standard bedding layer in Illinois, and it is what you screed to set a patio or walk.

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is 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.

Under the bedding, clean stone handles water. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains, and 3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it.
