Buy Fill Dirt in Minonk, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Minonk, IL, with the materials local crews name by number. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market calls road base, is the standard base for drives, pads and building sites.

We also deliver washed stone, sand, topsoil and decorative rock. Minonk sits in Woodford County on the Grand Prairie till plain, where deep dark prairie silt loams cover flat to gently rolling ground.

Materials for Minonk Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. Fill Dirt raises grade where a yard sits low or a pad needs to come up before anything else goes on it.

Once the shape is right, a CA-6 base course goes down over the fill.

Fill Dirt is bulk material for filling, raising grade and building up a low area. Top Soil is screened and comes in dark and silty, which is what Illinois prairie ground gives you.

Use it to finish grade, seed a lawn or prep a bed.

Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds and vegetable plots. It gives roots something looser than the native silt loam to start in.

Order it for planting areas where the ground has been worked hard or stripped.

Base and washed stone

CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it packs into a firm surface under drives, parking pads and shed floors.

CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone are clean washed stone with no fines, sold for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork. CA-16 chips are the smaller 3/8 inch size for paver bedding and topping a compacted base.

Sand, decorative and heavy stone

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason sand is finer and goes into brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock handle walkways, beds and dry creek beds.

Riprap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and pond edges. Specified as gradations RR 3 through RR 7, it holds where moving water chews at a slope.

Ground and Conditions in Minonk

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, this is some of the flattest ground in the country. Under it sits dense clay subsoil, and there is almost no natural fall for water to follow.

That means water stands rather than runs after heavy rain. Snowmelt in a wet spring does the same thing.

A yard or drive that sheds poorly will hold water on the surface long after the storm passes.

Base work has to account for that. CA-6 with its fines left in compacts into a stable surface, while clean washed stone like CA-7 and CA-11 gives water somewhere to go.

Screenings and clean stone do not compact into a base the way CA-6 does.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare silt loam washes in sheets, and concentrated runoff gullies a yard edge or a field corner.

Riprap and drainage stone slow that where water leaves a site.

Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring across this part of Illinois. Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and the ground here is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Plan the work around the ground, not the calendar.

What stone should I use for drainage in Minonk?

Use clean washed stone. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed sizes for French drains, foundation drains and trenches, and CA-16 chips work for tighter bedding.

Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it. CA-6 has the fines left in and compacts into a base instead.
