Rip Rap and Bulk Aggregates for Claremont, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Claremont, IL to sites across Richland County. Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base.

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, water sits close to the surface and moves sideways. Coarse stone is what answers that.

Materials for Claremont Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with the biggest stone you can handle. RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Railroad Ballast is the coarsest material here, a 3 inch clean stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage. Illinois yards sell this size as CA-1 or RR1.

Step down to #4 Crushed Stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

Then come the washed clean stones. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same work.

Finer material finishes the job. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

For ground cover, Torpedo Sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Claremont

The working season here runs longer at both ends than it does upstate. A wet winter and spring still keep sites soft well into April, so late summer and fall are the reliable windows for a delivery.

The claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base pumps under traffic.

That is why clean stone matters on drainage work. CA-7 and CA-11 carry water instead of holding it, and RipRap armors the banks and swales where runoff concentrates.

Freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth in this region runs about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your job.
