CA-6, Stone and Soil Delivery in Mound City, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mound City, IL, and the ground here sets the order. The Cairo lowland and the southern river bottoms sit low, with a high water table under most of it.

That makes washed stone the first call on a lot of jobs. Size the load on the calculator, then pick your material.

Materials for Mound City Projects

Washed stone carries drainage here. Water backs up, the table stays high, and clean open stone gives it somewhere to go.

CA-7 is the 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains. 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at 3/4 inch and beds concrete flatwork.

For downspout runs and drywells, Drain Rock is the clean washed stone to ask for. Contractors here are as likely to call it CA-7 or CA-11 by number.

CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. At the fine end, Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Where a compacted surface is the goal, CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Delivery to Mound City and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on site in one pile.

That is the whole of it.

Bulk delivery reaches Mound City and the rest of Pulaski County, including Mounds, Ullin, Karnak, Pulaski and Olmsted. The city sits in Pulaski County, at the south end of the state.

Each product page has a calculator for sizing a load. Have the site ready before the truck arrives, since the pile lands where the truck can reach.

Ground and Conditions in Mound City

Work is possible almost year round here, but river stages set the calendar. Spring and early summer high water can shut bottomland sites for weeks, so timing a delivery around the water matters.

Across the Cairo lowland and the southern river bottoms, the ground is flat alluvial bottomland with deep silt, sand and clay laid down by the rivers. Sand ridges and old channel scars break it up, and the water table sits high under most of it.

That high water table is why clean washed stone does so much work on drainage here. Backwater holds water on the land and heavy rain has nowhere to go, so French drains, drywells and downspout runs need open stone that lets water move.

Erosion follows the same pattern: river bank caving and scour, overbank flooding, and wash across soft silty ground wherever runoff concentrates. Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where that wash starts.

Winters are the mildest in Illinois, with limited freeze and thaw. Ground rarely stays frozen for long, so a CA-6 base goes down on ground that has been shaped and drained.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Mound City?

CA-6 is the Illinois base material for a driveway: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a surface. On ground this low and wet, drainage under and beside the drive matters as much as the surface.

CA-7 or CA-11 clean stone handles that, and Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive.
