Shredded Mulch Delivery for Collison, IL

Water stands on this ground. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Collison, IL starts with that fact, because the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois is flat, clay-bottomed and slow to shed a hard rain.

Illinois Rock Supply sells CA-6, also called road base, along with clean washed stone and decorative rock.

Materials for Collison Projects

Start with the project, not the product name. A dry creek bed, a bed of ground cover or a border along a walk each takes a different stone.

Rounded stone is the backbone of decorative work. River Gravel fills beds and borders and lines a dry creek bed.

Large River Rock handles the heavier end: dry creek beds, downspout splash areas, decorative work that needs bigger stone.

For paths and ground cover, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel. It suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface on garden walks.

Beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch, which holds moisture through an Illinois summer. For raised beds and vegetable plots, Garden Soil fills the planting area.

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

Water needs clean stone, and clean stone has no fines. CA-7 is washed 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for the same bedding and drainage work.

Ground and Conditions in Collison

This 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 matters before anything else does. An under-built base on flat clay ground holds water, and a drive or pad built over it moves.

CA-6 goes down as a compacted base for drives and pads because the fines let it knit together.

Where water has to move, the answer is clean stone. CA-7 and CA-11 carry it in a trench or a French drain because they have no fines to clog.

Rounded decorative stone does not do that job.

Bare silt loam sheds in sheets, and runoff concentrates into gullies where it leaves a field or a yard. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that scour.

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 frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring.
