Scott County, IL Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery
Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Scott County, IL by the ton or the yard. Illinois Rock Supply brings bulk material to your site and tips it in one pile.
Start with CA-6, also called road base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is the base layer for drives, parking pads and shed floors here.
Ground Conditions Across Scott County
Scott County sits in the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border country. Deep loess covers older Illinoian drift on rolling uplands, with dissected bluffs and steep ravines cut into the slopes.
Loess sheds water fast on a slope and holds it in the flats. Plan drainage before you plan the surface.
Gully and rill erosion chew into loess on steep bluffs and ravines. Slumping shows up on cut slopes, and bank scour works on the rivers of the region.
Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Bottomland sites wait out spring high water.
Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. The local building department sets footing depth, so ask there before you pour.
Materials Delivered in Scott County
Article 1004.01 sets the coarse aggregate gradations CA 1 through CA 20, and Article 1005.01 sets the riprap gradations RR 3 through RR 7.
Those numbers are how material is specified and ordered in this state.
For decorative work, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and fence post mix. River Gravel and Large River Rock handle beds, borders and downspout splash areas.
Sand and soil round out the list. Mason Sand is the fine clean sand for block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.
Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.
Delivery Across Scott County
Order online by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, and you pick a delivery date at checkout.
A dump truck tips the load in one pile at your site. Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives.
Keep the pile area off soft ground after a wet stretch. Loess ground softens fast, and a loaded truck needs firm footing.
Illinois Rock Supply delivers across the county, including Winchester and Bluffs. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.
Choosing the Right Material
Morgan County spans more than one ground region. Part of it sits in the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, so a base that works on Scott County loess may need a different approach there.
Pike County and Greene County share Scott County's ground region, deep loess over older Illinoian drift on rolling uplands. The ground is the same, so the base and drainage choices carry over.
Match the material to the job. CA-6 is a compacted base for drives and pads.
CA-7 and CA-11 are clean washed stone for bedding and drainage. Lime Screenings bed pavers and surface paths.
On a slope, arm the bank with RipRap. On a flat, CA-6 carries the load.
