Bulk Gravel Delivery to Millstadt, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Millstadt, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and drainage, and homeowners bedding a path or topping a bed. Both start in the same place, with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone that carries the fines and sets up hard.

Millstadt sits in St. Clair County, on the rolling loess uplands that shed water fast on slopes and hold it in the flats.

That split decides a lot about what you put down and where.

Ground and Conditions in Millstadt

Deep loess over older drift is the ground here, and it moves. A path or drive built on a base that is too thin shows it first at the edges, where the stone ravels out and the surface starts to dish.

On slopes, water runs off loess quickly and cuts. On the flats it stands instead, and a fines-bearing material like CA-6 will pump and rut when it stays wet.

That is why a walkway next to a downspout or at the bottom of a grade needs a clean stone layer under it, not more fines.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Freeze and thaw still lifts walks and drives each spring, so the base is what you get right the first time.

Materials for Millstadt Projects

Fines and screenings do the finish work on paths and walks. Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois, for pavers, flagstone and any walk you want to set flat and firm.

For the surface of a garden walk, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, more walkable finish than a drive mix. Where a path has to drain, use clean washed stone instead of a fines material.

CA-6 is the base under all of it. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is what goes under a driveway, a parking pad, a shed or garage floor and trench backfill.

• CA-6: compacted base for drives, pads and shed floors.
• Driveway Gravel: surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted base.
• CA-16 Chips: 3/8 inch chips for paver bedding and drainage around tanks.
• CA-7: 1 inch clean stone, no fines, for bedding pipe and French drains.
• Washed Sand: torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand for concrete and bedding.

For planting, Top Soil is screened prairie soil, dark and silty, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture through an Illinois summer. Around a walk, CA-16 chips top a compacted base and drain at the same time.

Delivery to Millstadt and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator to help size the load before you commit to a number.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site, so the delivery point matters. Bulk delivery covers Millstadt and the rest of St.

Clair County, including Belleville, O'Fallon, East St. Louis, Fairview Heights and Mascoutah.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the delivery point clear and reachable, with room for a truck to back in and tip. The load comes off in one pile, so pick a spot that works for where the material is going.

Keep vehicles, bins and low branches out of the way, and make sure the ground at that spot will hold the weight of a loaded truck.

What is the best base under pavers in Millstadt?

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois, laid over a compacted CA-6 base. The screenings give you a flat, firm bed the pavers can be set into, while the CA-6 below carries the load.

On a slope, add a clean washed stone layer so water does not sit in the fines.
