Size your load with the calculator on each product page, then pick your material.

This is flat Grand Prairie ground, and water stands rather than runs after a heavy rain. That shapes what you order.

Materials for St. Joseph Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with coarse stone. Water that concentrates in a low spot or along a ditch line needs weight and open voids, not fines that wash out.

RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

#4 Crushed Stone is the large clean stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

For drainage trenches and bedding under pipe, CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at 3/4 inch.

Where a swale needs a firm surface on top of the coarse layer, CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Delivery to St. Joseph and the Surrounding Area

Illinois Rock Supply delivers bulk material across St. Joseph and the rest of Champaign County, including Champaign, Urbana, Rantoul, Mahomet and Savoy.

You order online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to help you size the load. Pick a delivery date at checkout that matches when you want the pile on the ground.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. A bulk load comes off in one pile, so the spot you choose is where the material stays.

Ground and Conditions in St. Joseph

Base, driveway and paver work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat with dense clay subsoil and almost no natural fall. Water stands instead of running, which is why drainage stone and coarse cover matter on low ground.

Sheet erosion off bare silt loam and gullying where runoff concentrates are the usual problems on this ground. RipRap and large clean stone armor those spots where water gathers and moves.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives and walks each spring. Frost depth figures are set by the local building department, so check with them before any footing work.

Questions St. Joseph Buyers Ask

What stone should I use for drainage in St. Joseph?

Use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7 is the 1 inch size and 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch size; both work for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

For heavy drainage and trench bottoms, #4 Crushed Stone is the larger clean option. Fines-bearing material like CA-6 is not a drainage stone.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable, and know where you want the pile to sit. The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot that keeps the material out of the way of your work.

Order your quantity by the ton or yard ahead of time and choose your delivery date at checkout.
