Buy Fill Dirt in Ullin, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ullin, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors working bottomland sites and homeowners building up a yard. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material most of that work starts from.

Ullin sits in Pulaski County, where the ground is flat alluvial bottomland with deep silt, sand and clay under it.

Materials for Ullin Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most Ullin jobs, and that means soil and fill before any stone goes down. Fill dirt raises grade and levels a low spot before a base course is placed.

Screened topsoil goes on top for lawns and bed prep, and garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Base and driveway material comes next. CA-6 packs into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.

Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it. CA-7 is the 1 inch clean stone used for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone that goes alongside it for the same work. CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch size for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Sand and decorative stone round out a load. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding, and mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Natural Pea Gravel and river gravel cover walkways, play areas, beds and dry creek beds, and rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Ullin

Water is the first thing to plan around here. Across the Cairo lowland and the southern river bottoms, the water table sits high and heavy rain has nowhere to go.

Backwater from the rivers holds water on the land, so a low spot stays wet long after the storm passes.

That changes what you put down. A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 lets water move instead of trapping it, which is why it belongs in drainage trenches, French drains and foundation drains.

CA-6 holds fines and compacts, so it belongs under a drive or a pad, not in a drain.

Erosion follows the same water. Soft silty ground washes wherever runoff concentrates, and stream banks cave and scour.

Rip rap is the heavy broken stone for armoring a bank, a culvert outlet or a pond edge.

The working season is long here, with the mildest winters in Illinois and ground that rarely stays frozen for long. River stages set the calendar instead: spring and early summer high water can shut bottomland sites for weeks, so grading and fill work is easier to plan around the lower stages.

What stone should I use for drainage in Ullin?

Use a clean washed stone with no fines, because fines block the voids that let water through. CA-7 and CA-11 both work for French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding, and CA-16 chips suit tighter spots and drainage around tanks.

CA-6 is a compacted base material, so keep it out of drainage work.
