Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Bulpitt, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Bulpitt, IL to homeowners, farms and contractors working across Christian County. The base material here is CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in that Illinois yards also call road base.

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

From the same order you can add topsoil, garden soil, fill and washed stone. Everything arrives by dump truck and tips on site.

Materials for Bulpitt Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. In this part of Illinois the topsoil is dark, silty prairie ground, and screened topsoil is what you want for lawns, regrading a wet spot or building up beds before planting.

Garden soil handles raised beds and vegetable plots where you need a looser mix than straight topsoil.

Fill dirt is the bulk material for raising grade before anything else goes down. Bring a low corner of a lot up to level with fill, then cap it with a compacted base course of CA-6.

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

Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

Washed stone is the other half of the work. CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone (CA-11) are clean stone with no fines, used for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch size for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand and decorative stone round out an order. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding, and mason sand is the finer grade for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

For beds and borders, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel and River Gravel both work, with Large River Rock for dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

Ground and Conditions in Bulpitt

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, this is some of the flattest ground in the country. Dense clay subsoil sits under deep prairie silt loam and there is almost no natural fall, so water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

That changes what you order. A driveway or pad needs a base that sheds water at the edges instead of trapping it, and CA-6 with its fines gives you a surface that knits together.

Where water has to move, clean washed stone such as CA-7 or 3/4" Crushed Stone (CA-11) lets it pass instead of holding it.

Runoff off bare silt loam also cuts. Sheet erosion takes topsoil off slopes, and concentrated runoff from fields and yards gullies.

RipRap armors culvert outlets, pond edges and steeper banks where moving water scours.

Timing matters as much as material. 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 winter, and repeated freeze and thaw shows up as frost heave in gravel drives and walks each spring.

What stone should I use for drainage in Bulpitt?

Use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone (CA-11) are the sizes for French drains, foundation drains and bedding under pipe, and CA-16 Chips suit tighter work.

CA-6 is a base material, not a drainage stone, because its fines hold water.
