River Gravel Delivery for Milledgeville, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Milledgeville, IL, and the first step is sizing the load. Each product page has a calculator, and quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone this market builds on. It starts drives, pads and shed floors.

Around here the ground under it is often thin soil over rock, so the base has to carry the load.

Materials for Milledgeville Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for first. Fill dirt goes down to bring a low spot up to level, then a CA-6 base course goes over it to carry the load.

For a driveway, start with Fill Dirt where the grade is low, then cap it with CA-6. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

For a patio or walkway, Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.

For a drain, CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe, feeds French drains and sits under concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at a smaller size.

Ground and Conditions in Milledgeville

This corner of the state is the Driftless and old-drift northwest. Deep wind-blown loess sits over dolomite and limestone, with thin soil on the ridges and rock close to the surface on steep valley sides.

That matters for a pad. Loess is silty and loses strength fast when it is wet, so an under-built base shows movement early.

Fill and a proper CA-6 course give the pad something that holds.

Steep ground moves water fast into narrow valleys, and heavy rain runs off the ridges before it soaks in. A drainage layer of CA-7 or CA-11 keeps water off the base instead of through it.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. A wet spring turns loess on a hillside greasy, so steep drives and hillside pads are hardest to build then.

Cold winters and sharp freeze and thaw work harder on thin soils over rock and on cut slopes.

Questions from Milledgeville Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Milledgeville?

Lime Screenings, the local name for limestone screenings, is the standard bedding layer for pavers and flagstone in Illinois. It is crushed limestone fines that compact to a smooth, stable bed.

Under it, a compacted CA-6 base carries the load. For a permeable paver system, CA-16 Chips bed the pavers instead, since the open stone lets water pass.

Do you supply contractors working in Milledgeville?

Yes. Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material to contractors and homeowners on the same terms.
