Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Whittington, IL

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Whittington, IL? Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk fill, CA-6 and washed stone by the ton, delivered to your site.

This is claypan country, so a pad that sits low stays soft. Fill Dirt raises the grade first, then CA-6 goes down as the base course.

Delivery to Whittington and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile.

Each product page has a calculator if you need help sizing the load. Delivery covers Whittington and the rest of Franklin County, including West Frankfort, Benton, Christopher, Sesser and Zeigler.

Bulk loads are heavy, so a firm, reachable spot for the pile helps. Once the material is on the ground, you move it from there.

Materials for Whittington Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for. Where a yard sits low or a shed base needs to come up, Fill Dirt goes in first as bulk fill.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It compacts into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Clean washed stone handles water instead of holding it. CA-7, also called #57 stone, is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean stone, does the same work at a smaller size.

CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch limestone chips used for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines, bed pavers and flagstone.

Sand and soil round out a project. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints.

Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns, grading and raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in Whittington

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the subsoil is tight clay that stops water moving down. Rain perches on top of it and the ground stays saturated for weeks.

An under-built base on that ground pumps under traffic and loses its shape. Fill Dirt brings the grade up so the base course sits above the wet layer, and CA-6 goes on top as the compacted surface.

Where water still collects, a clean washed stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 gives it somewhere to go. Those stones have no fines, so they drain rather than hold.

The working season here runs longer at both ends than upstate, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for moving fill and base material.

Winters are shorter than in the north, and frequent freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay, heaving drives and walks. Frost depth in this part of Illinois runs about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets it.

Questions About Material in Whittington

What is the best base under pavers in Whittington?

Start with a compacted CA-6 base course over ground that has been raised and firmed. Then bed the pavers in Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines that give a level, workable layer.

On this claypan ground the base matters most, because water that cannot drain away will soften anything under-built.
