Fill and Base Material Delivered in Olney, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Olney, IL to sites across Richland County. Start with the ground.

Tight claypan subsoil sits close under the surface and stops water moving down.

Rain perches on top of it and ground stays saturated for weeks. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base that answers it.

Materials for Olney Projects

Raising grade is the work this ground asks for first. Fill dirt builds up the pad before any base course goes down, and CA-6 caps it as the compacted sub-base.

That pair handles a new shed, a garage slab or a building pad sitting low. Order Fill Dirt to bring the grade up, then CA-6 over the top.

For a driveway, CA-6 is the surface and the base in one. Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive that has gone loose.

For a patio or a walk, bed pavers on Lime Screenings and set the joints with mason sand. For a drain, use CA-7 or CA-11, the washed clean stone with no fines.

Bank work along the water takes RipRap, sized in gradations RR 3 through RR 7. Torpedo sand covers concrete and leveling, and Natural Pea Gravel handles walkways and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Olney

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, loess sits over old, weathered drift. The claypan below it is tight and slow, and it holds water instead of passing it.

An under-built base on that ground pumps under traffic and breaks up at the edges. Build the fill and the CA-6 course to carry the load, and the surface holds.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Sheet and gully erosion opens up where the thin loess is bared, and banks scour along the Kaskaskia, Little Wabash and Embarras.

The working season runs longer than upstate at both ends. A wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April, so late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and base work.

Winters are cold but shorter than the north, and freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay. That heaves drives and walks, which is why the base matters more than the surface.

Questions from Olney Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Olney?

Use CA-6 for the compacted base course, then bed the pavers on lime screenings. The screenings give you a fine, level layer that locks the units in place, and the CA-6 below it carries the load.

On this claypan ground, water perches close to the surface, so the base has to stay firm when the soil under it is wet.

Do you supply contractors working in Olney?
