Buy Fill Dirt in Worth, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Worth, IL to driveways, patios, drainage runs and yard grades. For raising a low spot with fill dirt, bedding a walk with lime screenings or laying a CA-6 base for a new parking pad, the material has to match the ground under it.

Worth sits on the clay-rich ground of the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, where water ponds and sits instead of soaking away. That shapes what works here.

Materials for Worth Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Fill dirt raises a low corner or levels a yard before anything else goes down, and it is the first load on a lot that needs shaping.

Screened topsoil comes next for lawns and beds, spread over the graded subgrade to give grass something to root into.

For raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas, garden soil holds moisture and feeds roots through a Chicago summer. Order it by the ton or the yard from the product page.

Garden soil and topsoil both sit on top of a graded base, so if the grade is wrong the planting is wrong too. Fill dirt sets that grade first.

Base and washed stone

CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Some yards around Chicago call the same material grade 8 or grade 9.

Clean stone has no fines and drains. CA-7 is washed 1 inch stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains, and CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it for concrete flatwork and drainage.

CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone cover most of that work.

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, and lime screenings is the Illinois name for what other markets call stone dust.

Sand, decorative stone and mulch

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason sand is finer and cleaner, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Both come from the Washed Sand and mason sand listings.

For beds and borders, Natural Pea Gravel and river gravel give a rounded surface, and large river rock handles dry creek beds and downspout splash areas. River Gravel and shredded mulch round out the planting side.

Ground and Conditions in Worth

Water is the driver on this ground. Lake plain clay and dense till shed rain rather than absorb it, and flat ground has little fall to move it along.

Heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades, and snowmelt in spring finds the same low spots.

That is why drainage gets planned before surfacing. A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives water somewhere to go, while a fines-bearing material like CA-6 is a compacted base and not a drain.

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, bare clay lots also wash off in a hard rain, so getting cover on graded ground matters. Base and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Frost is real in this part of Illinois, and it lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring. The frost depth figure northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry in the residential code is about 42 inches, though the local building department sets it for Worth.
