Our Most Popular Products in Montgomery County
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Crusher run or road base works best for a durable, compacted surface. A thick base layer prevents shifting under heavy vehicles.
- Drainage: Use Crushed Stone or drain rock around foundations, behind retaining walls, or in French drains. Fines can clog the system, so washed material is preferred.
- Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted paver base for stability, then add a thin layer of bedding sand to level the pavers. This combination resists settling and frost heave.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative stone or mulch gives a finished look. For planting beds, topsoil or garden soil provides nutrients and good drainage.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
Montgomery County has a mix of flat farmland and rolling upland areas, with both rural acreage and compact town lots in communities like Litchfield and Hillsboro.
Soils vary from fast-draining Top Soil in some parts to heavier clay that holds moisture in others. Freeze-thaw cycles are common, so materials that resist shifting and drainage stone that stays open are important.
Rural driveways can be long and may need a thicker base to handle rain runoff and frost heave. In town, smaller lots often require careful staging and a planned drop location.
Delivery and Access in Montgomery County
Delivery planning in Montgomery County depends on the property layout, truck access, and drop location.
Rural driveways, tight turns, steep grades, soft ground, and overhead clearance can affect the truck size or unloading point.
Before scheduling, customers should know where the material should be dropped, whether the truck can turn around, and whether the driveway or job site can handle the load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about gravel and aggregate delivery in Montgomery County, IL
Does American Rock Supply deliver throughout Montgomery County?
Yes, we serve much of Montgomery County including Hillsboro, Litchfield, Nokomis, Witt, and the surrounding rural areas. Delivery availability depends on road access and property conditions.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Montgomery County?
Crusher run or road base is the most common choice. It contains fines that bind the stone together, creating a firm, dust-free surface when compacted. For longer driveways, a thicker base may be needed to handle heavier loads.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains fines and packs down hard, making it ideal for driveways and base layers. Crushed Stone has no fines, so water passes through easily. Use clean stone for drainage projects and crusher run where compaction matters.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation?
Crushed Stone, such as #57 or #67, works well because it allows water to flow away from the foundation. Avoid crusher run or any material with fines, as they can clog the drainage system.
How do I figure out how much material I need?
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area. Convert to cubic feet or yards, then contact us with those dimensions and a description of the project. We can help confirm the amount before you order.
