Bulk Material Delivery in Maryville, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Maryville, IL to driveways, drainage work and building pads. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material most of that work starts from.

Maryville sits in Madison County, on the rolling loess uplands above the Mississippi bottomlands. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so how a site drains shapes what you order.

Materials for Maryville Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection is coarse stone work. The material has to be heavy enough to stay put when runoff comes off a steep grade and fast enough draining to pass that water through.

RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

#4 Crushed Stone is the large clean stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

Railroad Ballast is the coarsest option, a heavy coarse stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage. Illinois yards sell this size as CA-1 or RR1.

Below those, the clean washed stone does the drainage work. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same bedding and concrete work.

CA-16 Chips are the small 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe.

For a compacted base, CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Ground and Conditions in Maryville

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. That gives you a wide window to time a delivery, but the ground still decides what a site needs.

Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. On a steep grade, runoff concentrates and cuts gullies and rills, which is why slope armoring with coarse stone matters more than a thin surface dressing.

Where the ground flattens out, water sits. A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives that water somewhere to go instead of pushing against a foundation or pooling at the edge of a pad.

Cold winters with freeze and thaw still lift drives and walks each spring. The frost depth in this part of the state runs about 36 to 40 inches, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your project.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Maryville

What stone should I use for drainage in Maryville?

Use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch sizes for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

CA-16 Chips are the smaller 3/8 inch option for tighter bedding and drainage around tanks. Fines-bearing material like CA-6 does not drain, so keep it out of a drainage trench.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with nothing overhead and no parked vehicles in the way. The truck tips the load in one pile, so the spot you leave open is where the material lands.
