Bulk Material Delivery in Jonesboro, IL

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Jonesboro, IL, Illinois Rock Supply sells it in bulk by the ton. This is hill country, and thin soil over rock changes how a base goes in.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material most drives and pads here start from.

Water is the hard part of a job on these slopes. Runoff arrives fast, so the washed stone you set under a pipe, a downspout or a French drain matters more than the surface stone on top of it.

Start with the clean, open sizes. CA-7 is washed 1 inch clean stone with no fines, which is why it beds pipe, drainage trenches and French drains instead of holding water.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that does the same work around concrete flatwork and drywells.

For tight spots, CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs in one clean washed product.

Where a downspout outlet or a culvert mouth needs armoring, RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Below those sizes sit the fines-bearing materials. Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe.

Top Soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep, and it comes screened.

Ground and Conditions in Jonesboro

This part of the state has the longest working season in Illinois, running from late winter into early winter. Frozen ground is rarely the limit.

Wet weather and soft hillside access are, so timing a delivery around a dry stretch matters.

Across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, the ground is unglaciated hill country of sandstone and limestone with thin soils and rock close to the surface. Loess sits on the ridge tops, and the valley bottoms are narrow, filled with silt and gravel.

That thin soil over rock has nowhere to store water, and steep ground concentrates runoff into narrow hollows quickly. Heavy rain arrives in large amounts at once, which scours hillside drives and culvert outlets and gullies steep unsurfaced tracks.

So the base depth question and the drainage question are the same question here. A fines-bearing material like CA-6 compacts into a base for a drive or a pad.

Clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 moves water instead, and that is the layer a French drain, drywell or downspout run depends on.
