Buy Fill Dirt in Moline, IL

If you are grading a yard, building up a low spot, or prepping beds before planting, you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Moline, IL, and the right material for the job. Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk fill dirt, topsoil, and garden soil by the ton or yard.

When a driveway or pad needs a base, CA-6 is the dense graded stone that goes under it.

This is loess country. The silty ground here sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so what you put down and where it drains both matter.

Materials for Moline Projects

Grading and bed prep start with the soil and fill family. Fill dirt is bulk material for raising grade, backfilling, and building up a low area before anything else goes on top.

Topsoil is the screened, dark, silty prairie soil you spread for a lawn or a graded bed. Garden soil is a blended mix for raised beds and vegetable plots.

If you are ordering for a new lawn or a planting area, those three cover the ground work.

Hard surfaces need a base under them. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

CA-6 is what you want under a drive or a pad.

Where water has to move, you switch to washed stone. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, used for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains, and concrete flatwork.

CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold here as CA-11, are the two clean sizes Illinois yards keep for bedding and drainage.

For the finish layers, lime screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe. Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois.

Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling, and bedding. Mason sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes, and volleyball courts.

You can order both as Washed Sand and Mason Sand.

Decorative work rounds out the list. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways, play areas, and drainage.

River gravel is rounded stone for beds and borders, and large river rock handles dry creek beds and downspout splash areas. Rip rap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges, and slope armoring.

Ground and Conditions in Moline

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 means a base under a drive has to sit on ground that has been shaped to move water away, not ground that ponds.

Rain, snowmelt, and summer storms all end up somewhere. On rolling uplands and dissected bluffs, runoff concentrates and cuts gullies into the silty soil.

On cut slopes, that same silty ground slumps when it stays wet.

Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate, and bottomland sites wait out spring high water on the Mississippi and Illinois. Cold winters bring freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.

For a driveway or pad, that points to a compacted CA-6 base over ground that drains. For a drainage run, it points to clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 rather than anything with fines in it.

Fines hold water; clean stone lets it through.

Use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7, sold as 1 inch clean stone, is the standard for pipe bedding, drainage trenches, and French drains.

CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean stone, does the same work for bedding, drainage, and concrete.

Stone with fines in it holds water instead of passing it.
