Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Pittsfield, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Pittsfield, IL, and the surrounding part of Pike County. CA-6, which yards here also call road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone that carries most driveways and pads in this market.

The same order can include washed stone, sand, topsoil and decorative rock. Everything is sold in bulk by the ton or by the yard and tipped at your site.

Materials for Pittsfield Projects

CA-6 is the Illinois base material, and it is where a driveway, parking pad, shed base or garage pad starts. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it packs into a firm surface.

Pair it with Driveway Gravel when you are surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted base. For a path or garden walk that needs a finer, walkable surface, Walkway Gravel is the material to order.

Washed stone is the other half of most site work. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, used for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold locally as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that Illinois yards sell alongside CA-7 for the same bedding and drainage work. CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and for topping a compacted base.

Sand and soil round out a load. Washed Sand, called torpedo sand here, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots, and Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

On the decorative side, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded washed gravel for walkways, play areas and fence post mix. River Gravel covers beds and borders, and Large River Rock handles dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

Where water has to move, RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Ground and Conditions in Pittsfield

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

On rolling uplands and steep ravines, that split decides how a site drains.

Where water sits instead of running off, a clean washed stone layer under the surface gives it somewhere to go. CA-7 and CA-11 are the clean stones for that work, and they carry no fines to hold moisture in place.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Gully and rill erosion in loess shows up on steep bluffs and ravines, and cut slopes slump where water collects.

RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that movement.

Work in this part of Illinois runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Low ground waits out spring high water, so timing a delivery matters on those sites.

Cold winters bring freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. Frost depth in the region runs about 36 to 40 inches, and the local building department sets the figure it uses.
