Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Pearl, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Pearl, IL, with bulk loads tipped at your site. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base, is the material that starts a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base.

Pearl sits in Pike County, where deep loess covers older drift on rolling uplands. That ground shapes which materials work and when you can move them.

Materials for Pearl Projects

Grading and bed prep begin with soil, not stone. Screened Top Soil is dark and silty prairie topsoil for lawns, rough grading and bed prep.

It gives roots something to hold before you think about a surface.

Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas. Fill Dirt raises grade in bulk before a base course goes down.

Under those beds and drives, the base family does the structural work. CA-6 is crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it compacts into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, garage bases and trench backfill.

Crusher Run is the same fines-in stone under its secondary name.

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

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone that Illinois yards sell alongside it for the same work and for concrete flatwork.

Sand and decorative stone finish the job. Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, sold as Washed Sand.

Mason sand is finer, for mortar and paver joints. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways and play areas, and River Gravel rounds out beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Pearl

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, water drives every material decision. Loess sheds rain fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so a slope and a flat need different answers.

On steep ground, gully and rill erosion cuts into loess quickly once runoff concentrates. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where moving water scours soil away.

Where water stands instead of running, drainage stone is the answer. CA-7, CA-11 and Drain Rock give French drains, drywells and foundation drains an open path for water.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring in this region, so a base course has to sit above the line the local building department sets. Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate.

Bottomland sites wait out spring high water before a truck can reach them. Time your order around that window and the load lands cleanly.
