Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Ursa, IL

Wondering what to order for a bed, a walk or a washed-out drive? Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ursa, IL, and the answer usually starts with CA-6.

That is the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Adams County builds on.

Around Ursa you are working on deep loess soil that sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. That shapes what you put on top of it.

Materials for Ursa Projects

Start with the project and work back to the material. A bed, a border or a dry creek bed calls for rounded decorative stone.

A drive calls for a compacted base. A drain calls for clean washed stone.

For beds, tree rings and borders, River Gravel is the rounded washed stone that covers ground and edges planting. Large River Rock is the bigger cut of the same idea, for dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

Where you want a smaller, walkable surface, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers paths, play areas and fence post mix. Pair it with Walkway Gravel on garden walks.

For a drive or a parking pad, CA-6 is the Illinois base material: crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Where water has to move, CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe and drainage trenches. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size sold alongside it.

Under pavers and flagstone, Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines that bed the units. Mason Sand handles brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Ursa

The ground here is deep loess over older drift, on rolling uplands cut by bluffs and ravines. Loess sheds water fast on a slope and holds it in the flats.

That matters most under a drive or a pad. If the base under the surface is thin, spring freeze and thaw lifts it, and runoff finds the soft spots and cuts ruts.

Gully and rill erosion in loess is the other thing to watch. On a cut slope or a steep bank, stone armor holds better than bare soil, which is where RipRap comes in.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.

Questions About Ordering in Ursa

How much material will my project need?

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, so you pick a number rather than a pile size. Each product page has a calculator you can use to size the load before you check out.

The truck tips one pile on site, so it helps to know roughly what you are covering before you order.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Ursa?

Yes. CA-6, washed stone, sand, soil and mulch are all ordered by the ton or by the yard, and you choose a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck tips the load at your site in Adams County. The driver does not spread it, so pick the spot for the pile ahead of time.
