Jo Daviess County, IL Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery
Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Jo Daviess County, IL by the ton or the yard. Illinois Rock Supply delivers bulk material to the whole county, from Galena to East Dubuque, Stockton to Hanover.
Start with CA-6, the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It handles driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.
Steep ground and loess soil across the Driftless and old-drift northwest shape what else you need.
Materials Delivered in Jo Daviess County
CA-6 is the base most of this county's work starts from. It goes down under drives, pads, shed and garage floors and trench backfill.
Pair it with clean stone where water has to move.
Washed stone carries no fines, so water passes straight through. CA-7 and CA-11 both work for pipe bedding, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.
CA-16 chips bed permeable pavers and drain around tanks.
Sand and soil round out the list. Torpedo sand mixes concrete and beds pavers; mason sand handles brick and block mortar and paver joints.
Topsoil and garden soil feed lawns and raised beds, and fill dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base goes down.

Each product page has a calculator if you need to size the load first.
Have the drop area clear and reachable by a truck before the load arrives. Bulk material lands as tipped, so plan for the pile to sit where it lands.

Ground Conditions Across Jo Daviess County
Across the Driftless and old-drift northwest, steep ground moves water fast into narrow valleys. Springs and seeps come out of the dolomite, and heavy rain runs off loess ridges before it can soak in.
Plan for where that water goes, not just where the gravel sits.
Erosion follows the same pattern: gully and rill erosion in loess on steep slopes, rock fall and slumping on cut banks. RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where water scours hardest.
Winters here bring sharp freeze and thaw, and frost works harder on thin soils over rock and on cut slopes. Jo Daviess County sits in line with the rest of northern Illinois at about 42 inches of frost depth, and the local building department sets the figure it uses.
Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Steep drives and hillside pads are hardest to build in a wet spring, when the loess turns greasy underfoot.
Choosing the Right Material
Stephenson County and Carroll County both sit in Northern Illinois, on the same Driftless and old-drift northwest ground as Jo Daviess County. Deep loess over dolomite and limestone, thin soil on the ridges, steep valley sides with rock close to the surface.
The ground is the same, so the material choices carry over.
Where ground is this steep and this shallow over rock, drainage drives the decision. Clean washed stone handles the water, and a compacted CA-6 base carries the load above it.
