Buy Fill Dirt in Lyndon, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Lyndon, IL, with CA-6 road base, washed stone, sand and soil for drives, drainage and yard work. The ground here is loamy prairie soil over dolomite, and it moves when water sits on it.

That makes grading and bed prep the place to start. Get the fill and the soil right, then top it with the right stone.

Materials for Lyndon Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most Lyndon lots. Fill dirt raises grade before anything else goes down, and screened topsoil finishes a lawn or a bed once the shape is right.

Prairie topsoil here is dark and silty, and yards sell it screened. Spread it where roots and seed will meet it, and use garden soil for raised beds and vegetable plots where you want a looser mix.

Under all of that sits the base. 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.

Where water has to move instead of sit, switch to clean washed stone. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed sizes for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch size for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

For sand, torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Decorative work uses rounded stone rather than crushed. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas, river gravel suits beds and borders, and large river rock suits dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

Ground and Conditions in Lyndon

Water is the driver across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country. Snowmelt and spring rain on frozen ground push water across the surface before the soil can take it in.

The flat ground here is tight till with a high water table, so it holds water instead of draining it away. Sand plains nearby drain almost too fast, which is the opposite problem in the same county.

On a tight, flat lot, that means a clean washed stone layer under a drain or a downspout run, so water has somewhere to go. CA-7 and CA-11 do that job.

CA-6 with its fines left in does not, because it holds moisture rather than passing it.

Erosion shows up as gully and sheet wash on steeper till slopes, and as bank scour along the Rock and Pecatonica. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges, specified as gradations RR 3 through RR 7.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall and is a little shorter than downstate. Frozen ground stops compaction in the winter, so grading and base work belong in the open months.

Winters here are among the coldest in the state, with repeated freeze and thaw and heavy frost action in unbound base and shallow footings. Frost depth runs about 42 inches across the northern counties, and the local building department sets it.

What stone should I use for drainage in Lyndon?

Use clean washed stone, not a fines-bearing base. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed sizes for French drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs.

CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch size for tighter bedding. CA-6 holds moisture by design, so it belongs under a drive or pad, not in a drain.
