Bulk Gravel Delivery to Palmyra, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Palmyra, IL, with CA-6 road base as the backbone of the order. The ground here sits on the Southern till plain and claypan country, so what you put down has to handle slow, tight soil.

Order crushed stone, sand, topsoil, fill dirt and mulch online and a dump truck tips it on your site.

Ground and Conditions in Palmyra

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, and the ground stays saturated for weeks.

That is the failure a thin base shows here. Unbound stone pumps under traffic when the subgrade stays wet, and a drive or walk that looked solid in August turns soft and rutted by March.

Freeze and thaw swings work on that saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Build the base so it carries the load rather than sitting on top of the soil.

Sites stay soft well into April, which makes late summer and fall the reliable windows to grade and place stone.

Materials for Palmyra Projects

Paths and garden walks are where fines and screenings do the work. CA-6, also called CA6 or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For a walkway surface, Lime Screenings give you crushed limestone fines that pack into a firm, walkable finish. Illinois yards call these screenings or limestone screenings, and they are the standard bedding layer for pavers and flagstone.

Walkway Gravel covers paths and garden walks that need a finer, walkable surface. Bedding under those walks comes from the same family of fines.

Around the base and drainage work, clean washed stone keeps water moving. CA-7, also called #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, has no fines and is used for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11 or sewer stone, does the same job in the 3/4 inch size. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Sand and soil round out the order. Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding, and Top Soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep.
