Buy Fill Dirt in Raleigh, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Raleigh, IL, and the working season here runs long. Southern Illinois gives you late winter through early winter to get material down.

What stops a project is wet weather and soft ground on a hillside approach. That is the window to plan around, whether the load is CA-6 road base or fill dirt.

Materials for Raleigh Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill. This is Shawnee Hills ground: thin soil over rock, so raising grade and rebuilding a lawn take real volume.

Fill Dirt raises grade before a base course goes on. It is bulk fill for low spots, pads and rough shaping.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty. Use it for lawns, final grading and bed prep.

Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas.

Shredded Mulch goes on beds and tree rings and holds moisture through an Illinois summer.

Below the soil, the base and stone side covers drives, drainage and hard surfaces.

• CA-6 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.
• CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. Use it for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the clean washed stone for bedding and drainage work.
• RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and slope armoring.
• Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and backfill around pipe.

For sand, Washed Sand is the coarse torpedo sand used in concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Decorative options include River Gravel for beds, borders and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock for downspout splash areas and heavier stone work.

Ground and Conditions in Raleigh

Across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, rain arrives from the Gulf in large amounts at once. Steep ground pushes that water into narrow hollows fast.

Thin soil over rock stores almost nothing. So runoff scours hillside drives, cuts at culvert outlets and gullies steep unsurfaced tracks.

That shapes material choice. A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 moves water and keeps fines out of the drainage path.

CA-16 chips, the 3/8 inch limestone chips, work for drainage around tanks and as bedding under permeable pavers. Lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

Freeze and thaw are regular but mild, and frost matters less here than water on a slope. Any footing depth is set by the local building department.

Access is the other limit. Soft ground on a steep approach can delay a dump truck, so timing matters more than frozen ground.

What stone should I use for drainage in Raleigh?

Use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed sizes for French drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs.

CA-16 chips, the 3/8 inch stone, suit tighter bedding and drainage around tanks. Fines-bearing material like CA-6 is a compacted base, not a drainage layer.
