Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Media, IL

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Media, IL runs from the spring thaw into late fall. That is a little longer than upstate, and it shapes when you plan a pour or a driveway rebuild.

Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or by the yard for delivery here. The base material this market builds on is CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Materials for Media Projects

CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is the Illinois base material. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it carries driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

CA-6 is the first load on a new drive or a rebuilt one. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable surface.

Washed clean stone has no fines, so it drains. CA-7, also called #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, beds pipe and lines drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-7 is the same stone Illinois yards spec by number.

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

Lime screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards also call screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe. Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer here.

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

For beds and borders, River Gravel is rounded decorative stone, and Large River Rock handles dry creek beds and downspout splash areas. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded washed gravel for walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

Soil and fill round out a site. Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil for lawns and bed prep, Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots, and Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Media

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, water is the driver. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That split matters on a driveway. A slope above a pad sends water down onto it, and a flat holds what arrives.

A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives that water somewhere to go instead of sitting against a base.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Gully and rill erosion cuts loess on steep bluffs and ravines, and cut slopes slump.

Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where concentrated runoff does the damage.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. The frost depth for footings is set by the local building department, so check with Henderson County before you pour.
