Buy CA-11 in Altamont, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Altamont, IL. The ground here sits on claypan that holds water, so timing a load matters as much as the material itself.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base most driveways and pads start from in this part of Illinois.

Late summer and fall are the reliable windows. A wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April, and a truck needs firm ground under it to tip a load.

Materials for Altamont Projects

CA-6 is the Illinois base material. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it builds the compacted layer under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

CA-6 pairs with a clean stone where water has to move. CA-7 is washed 1 inch clean stone with no fines, used for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for the same bedding and drainage work and for concrete flatwork.

Smaller clean sizes finish tight work. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out a project. Washed Sand, called torpedo sand here, is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep. River Gravel is rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Altamont

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the subsoil is tight and sits close to the surface. It stops water moving down, so winter and spring rain perches on top of it and ground stays saturated for weeks.

That matters for what goes under a drive. Unbound base over saturated clay pumps under traffic and loses its shape.

A clean drainage layer lets water escape sideways instead of sitting in the base.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Where the thin loess is bared, sheet and gully erosion cuts in, and banks scour along the streams of the region.

Riprap and clean stone armor those edges.

Frost in this part of Illinois comes with frequent freeze and thaw swings that work on saturated clay. Heave moves drives and walks.

Frost depth is about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets it.

A dump truck then tips the material on site in one pile.

Have the drop area clear and firm before the truck arrives. Bulk material is heavy, and soft ground at the edge of a drive can stop a loaded truck from getting in.
