Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Mason City, IL

If you are grading a yard, building raised beds or topping a drive, Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mason City, IL. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material for drives and pads here.

Soil and fill come first on most grading jobs. The sandy ground around the Illinois River valley takes water fast, so what you put on top of it matters.

Materials for Mason City Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill, then a compacted base, then the surface you see. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size a load.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie soil, dark and silty, for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas.

Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down. Shredded Mulch goes on beds and tree rings and holds moisture through a summer.

Base and Driveway Material

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

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable surface.

Washed Stone for Drainage and Concrete

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size, sold alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

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

Sand and Decorative Stone

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

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix. River Gravel and Large River Rock dress beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Mason City

Rain, snowmelt and storm runoff are the driver on any site here. Across the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, the ground is deep wind-blown and river-laid sand on the terraces, with silt and clay on the low bottoms.

Sand takes water quickly and holds almost none. That means a base can wash and settle rather than stay wet, so the drainage layer under and beside a drive does real work.

Bare sand also moves in the wind, and water running across a loose sandy drive cuts ruts. Clean washed stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 lets water pass instead of trapping it.

The sandy ground dries and works early in the spring, and work runs into late fall. River bottoms stay off limits during high water.

Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, though open sand drains well and heaves less than the clay ground on the uplands.

Delivery to Mason City and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at the site.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable by a truck before the load arrives. Bulk material comes as a tipped pile, so leave room for it and plan how you will move it from there.
