Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Annawan, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Annawan, IL, from CA-6 road base to screened topsoil. Henry County sits on loamy prairie soil over dolomite, and the flat ground here holds water after snowmelt and spring rain.

That shapes what you order for a drive, a pad or a garden bed.

Materials for Annawan Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill, and that is where most Annawan projects begin. Get the grade right first, then bring in stone and sand for the surfaces above it.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie soil, dark and silty, for lawns, regrading and bed prep. Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas where you want loose, workable ground.

Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a base course goes down. Spread it, let it settle, then cap it with CA-6 where the surface needs to carry weight.

For the base itself, CA-6 is the Illinois standard: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It compacts into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

CA-6 is the material to specify when you want a base that holds together.

Washed stone handles water and bedding. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for drainage trenches, French drains and bedding under pipe.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at a smaller size for concrete flatwork and tighter trenches.

Sand and decorative stone round out a load. Washed Sand, or torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

River Gravel covers beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Annawan

Water is the driver here. Snowmelt and spring rain on still-frozen ground push water across the surface before the soil can take it in.

Across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, tight till and a high water table sit under the flat ground, while sand plains a short distance away drain almost too fast. Both extremes change how you build.

On tight ground, a clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives water somewhere to go. On sandy ground, a fines-bearing base such as CA-6 holds a surface together where clean stone would shift.

Gully and sheet erosion shows up on the steeper slopes in this part of the state, and wind moves bare sand. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where moving water scours.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little shorter than downstate. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, so grading and base work wait for open ground.
