Buy Gravel & Rock in Greenville, Illinois

Local Conditions That Affect Your Greenville Gravel Job

About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Greenville, so schedule your delivery onto firm ground to avoid bogging the truck. About 105 days a year drop below 32F, which shortens the work window and can shift an unsettled base as the ground freezes and thaws.

Snowfall here is about 12 inches a year, which can damage a loose surface if it needs plowing. Ground freezing is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to be deep enough to stay stable. Soils mapped in the Greenville area are commonly moderately well drained, meaning more or less base stone may be needed under the surface layer depending on your exact spot.

Ground around Greenville is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That makes a deeper drainage layer earn its place. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

How do I know how deep to go?

Depth depends on the use: driveways and parking pads need 4 to 6 inches of base plus 2 to 3 inches of surface stone. Paths and walkways need only 2 to 3 inches of a compactible material like decomposed granite. Drainage projects vary by flow volume.

What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?

The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet and a firm, unobstructed path to the drop spot. You agree to be available or have someone at the site during the delivery window to direct the driver.
