Macon County, IL Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Macon County, IL. Water stands here instead of running off.

The Grand Prairie till plain sits flat over dense clay, so a drive or a drainage run needs the right stone under it.

Start with CA-6. It is the Illinois base material, dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes under drives, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.

Materials delivered in Macon County

Order by size. Coarse clean stone handles water and heavy loads.

Fine material beds pavers and finishes surfaces.

CA-6 does the heavy lifting as a base.

CA-6 is dense graded base under that system. Pair it with a clean stone where water has to move.

CA-7 and CA-11 are the washed sizes, CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch grade, and CA-5 is the largest clean stone.

Where a job needs fill before the base goes down, use Fill Dirt to raise grade first. Add Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas, and Shredded Mulch around beds and tree rings.

Ground conditions across Macon County

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat to gently rolling till under deep, dark prairie silt loams. This is some of the flattest ground anywhere, with dense clay subsoil and almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain. That makes a clean washed layer under and around drainage runs matter as much as the base course above it.

Bare silt loam also washes. Sheet erosion takes the fines off exposed ground, runoff gullies where it concentrates, and banks scour after heavy rain.

RipRap armors the places where water leaves a slope.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring.

Choosing the right material

Ground changes across county lines, and the base choice follows it. Shelby County sits on the Southern till plain and claypan country, loess over old, weathered Illinoian drift.

That tight claypan subsoil gives south central Illinois its hard, slow ground. Where water cannot move down, a clean stone layer does more work than it does on the prairie.

Piatt County and Moultrie County sit on the same Grand Prairie till plain as Macon County, flat to gently rolling till under deep prairie silt loams. The ground is the same, so the same base and drainage choices carry over.
