Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Lovington, IL

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Lovington, IL runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and the ground here is slow to dry in a wet spring. Illinois Rock Supply sells CA-6, also called road base, along with washed stone, sand and soil in bulk.

CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds on. It is the base material for drives, parking pads and shed floors around Lovington.

Materials for Lovington Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a project starts. CA-6 leaves the fines in the mix, so it knocks down into a firm, tight surface under a drive or a parking pad.

CA-6 also works as backfill over a trench and as the layer under a garage slab.

For an existing drive that just needs a fresh wearing surface, driveway gravel tops a compacted base. walkway gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer surface that stays walkable.

Washed stone carries no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 1 inch and 3/4 inch clean sizes for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.

Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines used to bed pavers and flagstone and to backfill around pipe. Washed Sand, which yards here call torpedo sand, is the coarse sand for concrete and leveling.

Soil and decorative material round out a site. Top Soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep, while River Gravel covers beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Lovington

Lovington sits in Moultrie County, on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois. This is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain. Across the Grand Prairie till plain, so much of the farmland is tile drained for exactly that reason.

On a yard or a drive, the same flat ground means meltwater and storm runoff have nowhere to go.

That is where a clean washed layer earns its place. CA-7 and CA-11 let water pass through to a drain or a drywell instead of ponding against a foundation or under a slab.

The soils are deep, dark prairie silt loams over Wisconsin Episode till. Bare silt loam sheet erodes, and runoff that concentrates cuts gullies.

A graded surface and a stable base limit how much soil moves.

Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your job.
