Start with CA-6, the Illinois road base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it builds driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill across Rock Island County.

Ground and Conditions in Cordova

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. That split shows up in the first spring thaw, when a thin base pumps and ruts on the flat ground and washes out on the grades.

Gully and rill erosion in loess cuts into steep bluffs and ravines. Slumping shows up on cut slopes, and bank scour works on the rivers.

The fix is a base course with the fines left in, built up so the surface holds, plus a clean stone layer where water has to move. Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate.

Materials for Cordova Projects

Paths and walkways are where the fine grades earn their place. Bed a paver walk on Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards call screenings.

The compacted fines lock the pavers flat and give flagstone a firm seat.

For a loose path surface, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable top layer that stays put underfoot. Garden walks and side paths take it well over a prepared base.

Under the walk, CA-6 carries the load. Use it for drives, parking pads and garage bases, and for the backfill over a trench.

Clean stone has no fines, so it drains. CA-7, also sold as #57 stone or binder stone, beds pipe and lines drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone, does the same work alongside it for drainage and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. For concrete and general leveling, torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell.

For planting, screened topsoil handles lawns and bed prep, and garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots. Shredded mulch holds moisture through an Illinois summer.

River Gravel and Large River Rock cover beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Delivery to Cordova and the Surrounding Area

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to size the load. Choose between tons and yards on the material you pick, then set your delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile at the delivery point on your site. Illinois Rock Supply serves Cordova in Rock Island County, and the same delivery area reaches Moline, Rock Island, East Moline, Silvis and Milan.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the delivery point clear and reachable so the truck can back in and tip the load. Mark nothing for the driver to work around: the truck tips the pile where it stops and does not spread or place material.

Keep vehicles and equipment out of the way, and know where the pile should sit before the truck pulls in.

What is the best base under pavers in Cordova?

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base for paver work here. It compacts into a firm, stable layer that carries foot and vehicle loads.

Over it, lime screenings bed the pavers themselves. Where water has to drain away, CA-7 adds a clean stone layer under the base.
