Buy Fill Dirt in Hillview, IL

If you are grading a yard or building up a low spot before anything else goes down, you need fill first. Illinois Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in Hillview, IL, from fill dirt and topsoil to CA-6 road base for the drive.

This part of Greene County sits on deep loess over older drift, so the ground moves and sheds water in its own way. Getting the grade right before you surface anything saves you a redo.

Materials for Hillview Projects

Grading and bed prep start with the soil and fill family. Fill Dirt raises grade and builds up low ground before a base course goes down.

Top Soil is screened prairie soil, dark and silty, for lawns and final grading.

Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds and vegetable plots. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through a long Illinois summer.

Once grade is set, the base course takes over. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Clean washed stone handles water. CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone are washed clean with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base. Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines used as the standard bedding layer under pavers and flagstone.

Sand and decorative round out a project. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is finer and cleaner for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

For beds and borders, River Gravel is rounded decorative stone, and Large River Rock is the bigger size for dry creek beds and downspout splash areas. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded washed gravel for walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

Ground and Conditions in Hillview

Water is what drives material choice here. Loess sheds rain fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so a low corner of a yard can stay soft long after a storm passes.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, the bottomlands behind the levees drain slowly and flood. Where the ground is flat and slow, you want clean washed stone, not a fines-bearing material.

CA-7 and CA-11 both drain because they carry no fines. CA-6 compacts into a base because the fines are still in it, which is the opposite job.

Match the stone to what the water is doing.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Gully and rill erosion works into loess on steep bluffs and ravines, and cut slopes slump when water gets behind them.

Heavy broken stone like RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring, and frost depth is set by the local building department.
