Buy Fill Dirt in Winchester, IL

If you are grading a yard, building raised beds or leveling a lot before a driveway goes in, Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Winchester, IL to your site. Fill dirt raises grade, and CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, caps it as a compacted base.

Winchester sits in Scott County, on rolling uplands where deep loess covers older drift. That ground shapes what you order and when you can work it.

Materials for Winchester Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill, then move to stone. Fill dirt is bulk fill for raising grade before a base course goes down.

Screened topsoil is dark Illinois prairie soil for lawns, grading and bed prep, and garden soil is blended for raised beds and vegetable plots.

Once grade is set, CA-6 carries the load. It is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Washed stone handles water and bedding. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

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

CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

For sand, torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand used in concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason sand is finer, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Decorative options include 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for walkways and play areas, and River Gravel for beds, borders and dry creek beds. RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and slope armoring.

Ground and Conditions in Winchester

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. On a Winchester lot, that means runoff arrives quickly and then sits where the ground levels out.

So drainage matters as much as base. A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 lets water move through instead of trapping it, while CA-6, which carries fines, is for building up a surface that holds together.

Erosion follows the same pattern in this part of the state: gully and rill cutting on steep ground, and slumping on cut slopes where water concentrates. RipRap armors banks and culvert outlets where that cutting starts.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring, so plan grading and soil work around frozen ground.
