Landscaping Material Delivered in Stonington, IL

Planning a bed, a dry creek bed or a fresh layer of ground cover, and wondering what to put down? Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Stonington, IL, and the answer usually starts with what the material has to do.

For anything that carries weight, that means CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone Illinois yards sell as road base. For beds and borders, it means rounded stone that stays put and looks finished.

Materials for Stonington Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of Stonington yards get their finish. Rounded stone covers ground, edges beds and builds the dry creek beds that carry roof and yard runoff away from a house.

River Gravel is the rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. It comes in a range of sizes and reads as a finished surface rather than a working one.

Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone. It suits dry creek beds, downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work where smaller stone would shift.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways, play areas, fence post mix and drainage. It stays walkable underfoot and drains freely.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through an Illinois summer. Top Soil covers lawn and bed prep, and Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, which is why yards sell it screened.

Where a surface has to carry a vehicle, the material changes. CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is what you want under a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base.

Ground and Conditions in Stonington

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat to gently rolling till under deep, dark prairie silt loams. This is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, which is why so much of the farmland around here is tile drained. On a yard, that means runoff sits until it has somewhere to go.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets, and runoff that concentrates cuts gullies. A dry creek bed of rounded stone gives that water a path instead of a rut.

Under-built bases show it first. A drive or pad laid on soft ground without a compacted CA-6 course moves and ruts, so the base is the part worth getting right.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, and repeated freeze and thaw shows up in gravel drives and walks each spring.
