Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Marissa, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Marissa, IL, and the working season here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. That is a little longer than upstate, so timing a delivery around frozen ground matters less than timing it around mud.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds on. It carries the fines, so it packs into a firm surface for a drive, a parking pad or a shed base.

Materials for Marissa Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most Marissa ground work starts, and CA-6 is the material that does it. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it compacts into a stable surface under traffic.

For a drive that already has a base and only needs a fresh wearing surface, Driveway Gravel is the topping material. Crusher Run is the same idea under its secondary name: crushed stone with the fines still in it.

Clean washed stone handles water. CA-7 is 1 inch washed stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe and for drainage trenches.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the smaller clean size used for the same work and around concrete flatwork.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse sand for concrete and bedding.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie soil for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in Marissa

Across this part of Illinois, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. On rolling uplands and along the bluffs, runoff concentrates quickly and cuts gullies and rills into the silty ground.

That shapes what you put down. A drive or pad on a slope needs a base course that sheds water rather than trapping it, and low ground needs drainage stone under and beside the surface.

Bottomland sites drain slowly and wait out spring high water. Work on those runs later in the season, once the ground has firmed up.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring in this region. The local building department sets the footing depth for anything structural, so check with them before you pour.
