Our Story: Three Generations of Quality and Service
Galena Road Gravel’s legacy began in 1983 when Bill Wiebel recognized the growing need for quality aggregate materials in Central Illinois. What started as a single sand and gravel operation has evolved into one of the region’s most trusted suppliers of construction and landscaping materials. In 1990, Peter Powell acquired the business, bringing

fresh vision while maintaining the company’s commitment to quality and customer service. As a third-generation sand and gravel operator, Peter understood that success in this industry comes from consistently delivering quality products and treating every customer—from large contractors to weekend DIYers—with respect and professionalism. Today, the fourth generation is actively involved in daily operations, ensuring that the values and expertise that built Galena Road Gravel continue to drive us forward. Our team’s combined experience of over 60 years means we understand your needs and can provide expert guidance for any project. What Sets Us Apart
Family Values, Professional Standards
As a family-owned business, we treat our customers like neighbors because they are. Every order, whether it’s a truckload for a homeowner or rail cars full of material for a major construction project, receives our full attention and commitment to quality. Two Strategic Locations to Better Serve You
Our two facilities in Chillicothe and Lacon are strategically positioned to serve Central Illinois efficiently, with the unique capability to load rail cars for distribution throughout the Midwest. Proven Track Record of Exceeding Expectations
Over four decades of continuous operation isn’t just about longevity—it’s about consistently meeting and exceeding customer expectations, project after project, year after year. We are proud that our customers repeatedly praise us for being helpful and friendly.

⛳ We’re proud to be part of one of golf’s biggest stages.

As the spotlight shines on Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis during this week’s major championship, we’re excited to share that the bunker sand and course renovation project feature sand supplied by Galena Road Gravel through our valued customer, Faulks Bros. Construction.

It’s an honor to contribute to a course prepared for championship-level play, and we’re grateful for the partnership with Faulks Bros. that helped make it possible.

Congratulations to everyone involved, and good luck to all the competitors this week!

If you’ve ever worked with gravel, chances are you’ve heard of CA6.

It’s our best-selling aggregate for a reason.

CA6 Road Gravel contains a well-graded mix ranging from 1½" stone down to fine particles. That combination allows the material to compact tightly, creating a strong, stable surface.

It’s a go-to choice for:
• Driveways
• Farm roads
• Parking areas
• Road base
• Construction pads

Whether you’re working on a small driveway or a larger project, choosing the right aggregate matters.

Need help figuring out what material is right for your project? Give us a call—we’re happy to help.

Not all gravel is created equal.

Choosing the lowest-priced material can sometimes lead to higher costs down the road. Poor-quality aggregate may contribute to drainage issues, premature wear, increased maintenance, and unnecessary project delays.

At Galena Road Gravel, we focus on providing consistent, high-quality materials that help keep your project on schedule and built to last.

Quality materials today can save time, money, and headaches tomorrow.
