Bulk Gravel Delivery to Industry, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Industry, IL, and the working season here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. That is a little longer than upstate, so timing a load around frozen or saturated ground matters.

CA-6 is the base material this market builds on. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.

Ground and Conditions in Industry

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, deep loess sits over older drift on rolling ground. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That split shows up as a base failure. A thin base course over silty ground moves and ruts once the spring thaw lifts it, and the edges break down first.

Gully and rill erosion cut into loess on steep ground, and cut slopes slump. On a driveway or pad, the practical answer is a base course with the fines left in, built to the depth the site needs.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring in this part of Illinois. Frost depth is about 36 to 40 inches, and the local building department sets the figure.

Materials for Industry Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows. The bedding layer carries the pavers and spreads the load, so it has to be fine, consistent and easy to screed.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois for pavers and flagstone. They also backfill around pipe.

CA-6 is the base course under that bedding. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it compacts into a firm platform for a drive, a pad or a garage floor.

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is coarse washed sand for concrete and for leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and for paver joints.

Clean washed stone handles water. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe and drainage trenches, and 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at 3/4 inch.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and for topping a compacted base.

Delivery to Industry and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the load in one pile at the site.

Choosing between tons and yards is the first decision. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you order.

Industry sits in McDonough County, and delivery covers the county, including Macomb, Bushnell, Colchester, Blandinsville and Good Hope.

Bottomland sites in this part of Illinois wait out spring high water, so plan the delivery around ground that is firm enough to take a truck.
