Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in Victoria, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Victoria, IL, and the ground here decides what you need. Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That split drives demand for washed stone. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, builds the base.

Clean stone moves the water.

Materials for Victoria Projects

Water is the problem in this part of Knox County. Loess sheds fast on a slope and sits in the flats, so drainage stone does the heavy lifting before any base goes down.

Start with the clean washed sizes. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, and it beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same jobs. Both let water pass instead of trapping it.

French drains, drywells and downspout runs all want that open stone. A downspout run that ends in clean stone sends roof water away from the foundation instead of into it.

Then the base material. CA-6 is the Illinois base for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For finer work, lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Sand and soil round out a load. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and top soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile at the delivery point. Plan where that pile lands before the truck arrives, because the material stays where it falls.

Ground and Conditions in Victoria

Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Time a delivery around that window and around the wet weeks.

Loess is the reason. It is deep and silty over older drift, and it moves.

On steep bluffs and ravines it gullies and rills, and cut slopes slump.

In the flats the same soil holds water. A base over wet, silty ground stays soft, which is why a drainage layer belongs under the base, not beside it.

Frost lifts drives and walks each spring. Frost depth in this region runs about 36 to 40 inches, and the local building department sets the figure it uses.

Route water before you surface anything. Clean stone at the low spots and along the downspout runs keeps the base dry through the freeze and thaw.
