Bulk Gravel Delivery to Jerseyville, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Jerseyville, IL, for driveways, patio bases, drainage runs and garden paths. If your project needs a compacted base, start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Jerseyville sits in Jersey County, where the ground is deep loess over older drift on rolling uplands. That soil sheds water fast on a slope and holds it in the flats, so what you build on top of it matters.

Ground and Conditions in Jerseyville

A thin base is where a drive or a path starts to fail here. Loess moves water quickly downhill, and a shallow layer of stone lets that water work its way under the edges.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, the same pattern shows up: gullies and rills cut into steep ground, and cut slopes slump when water gets in behind them. On flatter ground the water sits instead, and a soft subgrade shows through a base that was never thick enough to bridge it.

The fix is a properly built base course rather than a skim coat. CA-6 is the Illinois base material for that job, a dense graded crushed limestone that compacts into a firm, tight surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Work in this part of the state runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring, and the building department sets the footing depth for structures.

Materials for Jerseyville Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways. Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and in Illinois they are the standard bedding layer under pavers and flagstone.

They also backfill around pipe. Packed and damp, screenings give a path a firm, smooth surface that a wheelbarrow or a hose reel rolls across without catching.

Walkway Gravel covers paths and garden walks that want a finer, walkable surface. Pair it with screenings where you need a bedding layer underneath and a finished surface on top.

For the base under all of it, CA-6 is the material to specify. It is also called CA6, road base or 3/4 dense grade.

Crusher Run is the same idea under a secondary name: crushed stone with the fines left in.

Where water has to move instead of sit, switch to clean washed stone. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that Illinois yards sell alongside it.

Smaller sizes finish the job. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

Washed Sand, which yards here call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Questions About Gravel and Stone in Jerseyville

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot cleared and reachable, with no low wires or branches overhead and firm ground for the truck. The load is tipped in one pile, so leave room for it and keep vehicles and equipment out of the way.

If the ground is soft from spring thaw or heavy rain, pick a spot that will hold the weight.

What is the best base under pavers in Jerseyville?

CA-6 is the compacted base course for paver work here, because it is dense graded crushed limestone that locks together under compaction. Over that, lime screenings are the standard Illinois bedding layer that the pavers sit in.

Where the subgrade stays wet, a clean washed stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 can handle drainage below the base.
