CA-6 is the base material here, a dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads and shed bases, and it is what most of this sandy ground needs under it.

Materials for Chandlerville Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on banks, swales and slope protection. The Illinois River valley and the sand areas lose ground fast when water moves across bare sand, so armoring the edges is a practical first move.

RipRap is the answer for the biggest jobs.

RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Railroad Ballast is the other heavy option, coarse stone for hard standing and severe drainage.

Below that size, clean washed stone handles water without holding it. CA-7 is one inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work in a smaller size and is common around concrete flatwork.

For finer bedding, CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings are the crushed fines that bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Delivery to Chandlerville and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile.

Chandlerville sits in Cass County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Beardstown, Virginia, Ashland and Arenzville.

Bulk loads are heavy and the truck needs room to back in and tip. Have the drop spot clear before the date you picked, and keep vehicles and equipment out of the way.

Each product page has a calculator if you need help settling on a quantity.

Ground and Conditions in Chandlerville

The sandy ground across the Illinois River valley and the sand areas dries and works early in the spring, which makes spring a good window for base work. Low bottoms near the river stay off limits during high water, and the season runs into late fall.

That same sand takes water quickly and holds almost none. A base laid on it can wash and settle rather than sit wet, so a clean stone drainage layer under a compacted CA-6 course keeps the surface where you put it.

Wind moves bare sand too, so get cover on exposed ground.

Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Open sand drains well and heaves less than the clay ground on the uplands either side, but any footing depth is set by the local building department.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Chandlerville

What stone should I use for drainage in Chandlerville?

Use clean washed stone, meaning stone with no fines. CA-7 at one inch and 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, are the standard choices for French drains, foundation drains and trench bedding.

For tighter work around tanks or paver bedding, CA-16 Chips are the smaller option. RipRap handles open channel and bank work where the flow is heavier.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear drop spot the truck can back into and tip without obstruction. Move vehicles, trailers and equipment out of the way ahead of the date you chose at checkout.

The driver tips the load in one pile, so mark the spot you want it left. Loose ground or a soft shoulder can stop a loaded truck, so keep the approach firm.
