Bulk Gravel Delivery to Sherman, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Sherman, IL online, by the ton or by the yard. Illinois Rock Supply drops CA-6, washed stone, sand and soil at your address in Sangamon County.

The ground here is flat prairie silt loam over dense clay, so water stands instead of running. Pick the material for the surface you want, and the base for what sits under it.

Ground and Conditions in Sherman

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the land is flat and the subsoil is heavy clay. Rain has almost no fall to work with, so it sits where it lands.

A thin base fails first at the edges. Water gets in, the fines pump up, and the surface starts to rut and pothole.

The fix is a graded base that carries load and sheds water. CA-6 packs into a tight, dense layer because the fines stay in the mix.

Clean stone does the opposite job. CA-7 and CA-11 have no fines, so water moves through them instead of pooling.

Base and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. A wet spring keeps the ground soft, and winter freezes it solid.

Frost heave lifts gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your project.

Materials for Sherman Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways. They bed pavers, level flagstone and leave a surface you can walk on without rolling an ankle.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Spread them as a bed under pavers or as the top dressing on a garden walk.

Under that bed, CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For drainage and pipe work, CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe, fills drainage trenches and French drains, and sits under concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same 3/4 inch clean washed stone, specified as CA-11. Use it for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips, specified as CA 16. They bed permeable pavers and drain around tanks.

For a walkable path surface, Walkway Gravel gives a finer finish than a drive mix. Mason Sand handles brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Questions About Ordering in Sherman

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure the truck can reach it. The driver tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot that keeps the material out of the way of traffic and your garage door.

Mark nothing for the driver and expect no spreading. If overhead wires or a low branch cross the approach, choose a different spot before the delivery date.

What is the best base under pavers in Sherman?

CA-6 is the base material here, and lime screenings are the bedding layer on top of it. The CA-6 carries the load and sheds water on flat ground with clay beneath it.

The screenings give you a fine, level bed the pavers sit in.
