Since 1948, Prairie Materials has supplied aggregates that keep projects moving. We work alongside contractors, road builders, and ready-mix producers delivering crushed stone, natural sand, gravel, and recycled aggregates from quarries, pits, and recycling centers throughout the region.
As an aggregate supplier contractors and public agencies rely on, every product meets Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and applicable American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications. Our materials teams work with project managers to match gradations and volumes to the job, whether the application is highway base, ready-mix production, drainage, or structural fill.
Consistent supply, tested quality, and local expertise define how Prairie Materials shows up for every project.
Prairie Materials produces a full line of crushed stone, natural sand, and manufactured sand, along with gravel, for road base, ready-mix concrete production, asphalt mix, drainage, and general fill. Our quarries and pits operate under strict quality control programs, and every load is tested for gradation, cleanliness, and density before it leaves the yard.
Whether a project calls for IDOT-approved road base, high-strength concrete sand, or custom gradations for specialty applications, our team matches the right product to the specification, volume, and schedule.
Reliable material, delivered on spec, supports the schedules our customers build their own work around.
Connect with the Prairie Materials sales team to confirm product availability, volume pricing, gradation options, and delivery scheduling. Our representatives support contractors, from large infrastructure builders to residential firms, and can route technical questions to the nearest yard or quarry.

Prairie Materials delivers bulk aggregates by truck to jobsites in Northern and Central Illinois, Indiana, and parts of Wisconsin. Our fleet schedules around project timelines, with early morning arrivals for pours, multi-truck days for high-volume work, and coordinated logistics for complex sites.
Pickup is available at select materials yards for contractors who prefer to haul their own. Contact a local Prairie Materials representative at (708) 458-0400 to confirm product availability at the nearest yard and to coordinate logistics for the job ahead.
Whatever the schedule, the goal stays the same: materials on-site when the work needs it.
Prairie Materials operates recycling centers that process construction debris into recycled aggregates, including crushed concrete and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). These materials give contractors a practical option for road base, subbase, and general fill, and they help projects divert demolition waste from landfills.
Recycled products are produced to specified gradations and tested for quality. Talk with our team about availability at the nearest yard and specification compatibility for your project.
Turning construction debris back into usable material is one of the concrete ways Sustainable Legacy shows up in how Prairie Materials operates.
Prairie Materials has served Illinois construction since 1948. Active materials yards, quarries, pits, and recycling centers provide the depth of supply contractors need to keep schedules on track.
We operate as part of Votorantim Cimentos North America (VCNA), with technical expertise, testing capabilities, and a network that supports every load. Our employees work across plants, yards, and offices, and Our VC Way values that guide ready-mix concrete production also shape how we handle aggregates: Customer Focus in how we listen, Trust and Simplicity in how we communicate, and Lasting Results in how we stand behind what we supply.
Contractors and project managers choose Prairie Materials because materials arrive when expected, meet the specification it is graded for, and come from a supplier that follows through on the work.
