Buy Fill Dirt in New Boston, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in New Boston, IL, from a load of CA-6 for a driveway to screened topsoil for a new lawn. This is loess country, and the ground here sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

If you are grading a pad or prepping a bed, the soil and fill side of the yard is the place to start. If you are building a drive, CA-6 is the base you want under it.

Materials for New Boston Projects

Grading and bed prep start with the soil products. Fill Dirt raises grade before a base course goes down, and it is the material for building up a low spot before anything else lands on top.

Screened Top Soil is dark and silty here, sold screened for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden Soil is the mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas.

Once grade is set, CA-6 takes over. It 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.

Clean washed stone handles the water. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it for the same work.

For sand and bedding, torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and backfill around pipe.

Ground and Conditions in New Boston

Start with where the water goes. Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That split matters on a New Boston job. On a slope, runoff arrives fast and cuts.

On flat ground, it sits, and a base that stays wet will not hold up.

Gully and rill erosion in loess on steep bluffs and ravines is the other half of it. Slumping on cut slopes shows up where water concentrates.

This is why clean stone earns its place. CA-7 and CA-11 have no fines, so water moves through them instead of pooling.

Lime Screenings and CA-6 both carry fines, so they belong under a surface, not in a drain.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Bottomland sites wait out spring high water.
