Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Thawville, IL

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Thawville, IL runs on the working season. Base, driveway and paver work fits between the spring thaw and late fall, and the ground here is slow to dry in a wet spring.

Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, with CA-6 leading for drives and pads. Iroquois County sits on the Grand Prairie till plain, where flat ground and heavy clay hold water after a storm.

Materials for Thawville Projects

Most drive and pad work starts with a base course. CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

CA-6 carries a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base or trench backfill. Order it from the CA-6 page, or compare it against Driveway Gravel for surfacing an existing drive.

Washed stone is the other half of the work. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch clean sizes, with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch clean stone for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. See CA-7, 3/4" Crushed Stone and CA-16 Chips.

Sand and soil finish the list. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and bedding, and mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints.

Lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone. Topsoil and garden soil handle lawns, grading and raised beds.

Order Washed Sand, Lime Screenings or Top Soil.

Ground and Conditions in Thawville

Water is the driver on this ground. Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the land is some of the flattest in the country, with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall.

Rain and snowmelt stand rather than run. That is why so much farmland in this part of the state is tile drained, and it is why a drive or pad needs a base that sheds water instead of holding it.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets where runoff concentrates, and yard runoff cuts gullies. A clean stone layer under a fines-bearing base gives water somewhere to go.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and the ground is frozen solid through the winter.
