Fill and Base Material Delivered in Irving, IL

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Irving, IL, the first question is usually what goes under the pad you are building. Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk fill, CA-6 and clean stone by the ton or by the yard, ordered online and tipped on your site.

The ground here decides a lot of that answer. In this part of the state, tight claypan subsoil sits close to the surface and holds water instead of letting it drain.

Delivery to Irving and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load, and you choose a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck then tips the material in one pile at the address you give. Irving sits in Montgomery County, and delivery covers the surrounding communities as well, including Litchfield, Hillsboro, Nokomis, Raymond and Witt.

Materials for Irving Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work that sets the material list here. When a site sits low or a new shed pad has to come up to level, you build that elevation with fill and a compacted base, not with topsoil.

Start with Fill Dirt to bring the grade up, then cap it with CA-6 as the base course. 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.

For a driveway, CA-6 over fill is the standard build, and Driveway Gravel can surface an existing drive or top a compacted base.

For a patio, the bedding and drainage layers change. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and CA-16 Chips work for permeable paver bedding and around tanks.

For a drain, you want washed stone with no fines. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains, and 3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size Illinois yards sell alongside it.

Concrete work calls for coarse washed sand. Washed Sand, which yards here call torpedo sand, is what you want for concrete, leveling and bedding.

• Top Soil for lawns, grading and bed prep on the dark, silty prairie soil.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and vegetable plots.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings through a long summer.
• RipRap for bank protection, culvert outlets and slope armoring.
• River Gravel and Large River Rock for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Irving

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the subsoil is tight and old. Loess sits over weathered drift, and that claypan stops water from moving down.

Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, so ground stays saturated for weeks. An under-built base pumps under traffic once that happens, which is why the fill layer has to be right before any CA-6 goes down.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Thin loess bares easily into sheet and gully wash, and banks scour where concentrated water leaves a culvert or a downspout.

The working season is longer here than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and base work.

Winters are shorter than in the north, but freeze and thaw swings are frequent and they work on saturated clay. Heave moves drives and walks, and frost depth is set by the local building department.

Questions About Ordering in Irving

What is the best base under pavers in Irving?

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois, and they go over a compacted CA-6 base course. The lime screenings give you a fine, level bed that pavers sit flat on.

CA-16 Chips are the other option when the design calls for permeable bedding. Both sit on a firm base, so get the fill and CA-6 right first.

Do you supply contractors working in Irving?

Yes. Contractors order the same way any buyer does: online, by the ton or by the yard, with a delivery date picked at checkout.

Materials include CA-6, CA-7, CA-11, lime screenings, torpedo sand, rip rap, fill dirt and topsoil. Bulk loads are tipped on site in Irving and the surrounding Montgomery County area.
