Buy CA-11 in Arrowsmith, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Arrowsmith, IL. Base and driveway work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, so timing a load matters.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone most drives and pads start from. It packs down because the fines stay in the mix.

The ground under it is the part that decides how the work holds up.

Materials for Arrowsmith Projects

CA-6 is the base material for this market. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

Driveway work usually pairs a base course with a surfacing layer. Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base or resurfaces a drive that is already in place.

Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

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

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

Sand and soil fill in the rest of a site. Washed Sand, called torpedo sand here, is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

For lawns and beds, Top Soil is screened prairie topsoil for grading and bed prep. Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Decorative options cover beds and borders. River Gravel is rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Large River Rock handles heavier decorative work and downspout splash areas.

Ground and Conditions in Arrowsmith

The Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois is some of the flattest ground in the country, and the subsoil beneath it is dense clay. There is almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain. Snowmelt and spring storms sit on the surface, and the ground is slow to dry in a wet spring.

That shapes what you put down. A fines-bearing base like CA-6 holds up when it is compacted, but water that cannot drain away will work at the edges of a drive or pad.

Where water needs an escape route, a clean washed layer does the job. CA-7 and CA-11 let water pass through instead of trapping it.

Bare silt loam also erodes. Sheet erosion moves soil off open ground, and runoff concentrates into gullies where field and yard water collects.

Winter brings repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, rising toward the northern edge of the state, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to a job.

Frozen ground shuts down most base, driveway and paver work through the winter. Plan around the thaw and the fall window.
