CA-7 and Bulk Aggregates for Cantrall, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Cantrall, IL, and the base material here is CA-6, also called road base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Cantrall sits on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, where the ground is flat and the subsoil holds water. That shapes which stone you want under a drive, a drain or a slab.

Materials for Cantrall Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work on this ground. Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling on top.

That matters for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, sized from about 3/4 inch to 1 inch. It beds pipe, fills drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

Illinois yards also sell it as #57 stone or binder stone.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that goes alongside CA-7. Use it for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

For the smallest drainage and bedding work, CA-16 chips run about 3/8 inch. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer for pavers and flagstone in Illinois. They also backfill around pipe.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material. It compacts into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

Below the clean stone, Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. For bank protection and culvert outlets, RipRap armors slopes and pond edges.

On the soil side, Top Soil handles lawns, grading and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Ground and Conditions in Cantrall

Base, driveway and paver work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.

The Grand Prairie till plain is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

That is why drainage stone earns its place on a Cantrall project. A clean washed layer under a downspout run or a French drain gives water somewhere to go.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets where runoff concentrates, and stream banks scour after heavy rain. RipRap on a slope or a culvert outlet slows that down.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth is set by the local building department, and it runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois.
