Bulk Gravel Delivery to Broadlands, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Broadlands, IL, with CA-6 leading the order for drives, pads and trench backfill. Broadlands sits in Champaign County on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, where deep dark silt loams cover flat to gently rolling ground.

That ground sets what you order: a compacted base that sheds water, clean stone where water has to move, and sand or screenings where something has to sit flat.

Ground and Conditions in Broadlands

The ground across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois is among the flattest in the country, with dense clay subsoil underneath and almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

A thin base course over clay like that shows its weakness fast. The stone migrates into the soft subgrade, ruts appear along the wheel paths, and the surface loses its shape at the first wet spring thaw.

The fix is a properly graded base that carries its own fines and stays put once compacted. CA-6 is that base.

Bare silt loam also erodes by sheet wash, and concentrated runoff cuts gullies at yard and field edges. Clean washed stone in the wet spots keeps water moving instead of pooling.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, and repeated freeze and thaw lifts gravel drives and shallow slabs each spring.

Materials for Broadlands Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the choice of material matters most. The bedding layer has to hold a level plane, drain, and keep the pavers from shifting, and the wrong material undoes the work above it.

CA-6, also called CA6 or 3/4 dense grade, is the Illinois base material: crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds the compacted base under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage slabs and trench backfill.

Order it as CA-6.

Above a compacted CA-6 base, pavers and flagstone bed on Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards call screenings. They compact to a firm, level plane that holds a paver without letting it rock, and they also backfill around pipe.

For permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks, CA-16 Chips give you small 3/8 inch washed chips that let water pass. Concrete flatwork and drainage trenches instead call for clean stone: CA-7 for bedding under pipe, French drains and slabs, and 3/4" Crushed Stone alongside it as the CA-11 size.

Concrete work needs Washed Sand, which Illinois yards sell as torpedo sand, for leveling and bedding. Mortar, paver joints and sandboxes take Mason Sand.

Around the yard, Top Soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots. Walk paths take Walkway Gravel for a finer surface, while River Gravel and Large River Rock cover beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable by truck before the load arrives. The driver tips the pile where the truck can safely stop, and you work from there.

Questions About Gravel and Aggregate in Broadlands

What gravel is best for a driveway in Broadlands?

CA-6 is the base material for a driveway here. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm surface over the dense clay subsoil of the Grand Prairie till plain.
