Buy CA-11 in Cottage Hills, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Cottage Hills, IL, and the season here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. That is a little longer than upstate, so timing a load around the weather is part of the job.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone this market builds on. It carries the fines that bind a drive or a parking pad together once it is compacted.

Materials for Cottage Hills Projects

CA-6 is the base material for this part of Illinois. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is what a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base or a trench backfill is built from.

See CA-6 for the base and driveway work.

Clean washed stone is a different material with a different job. CA-7 is 1 inch washed stone with no fines, and it beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch washed stone Illinois yards sell alongside it.

Lime screenings are the crushed limestone fines used to bed pavers and flagstone and to backfill around pipe. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Mason sand is finer and goes into mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

For decorative work, Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways and play areas, and river gravel is the larger rounded stone for beds and borders. Topsoil and garden soil cover lawn and planting work, and fill dirt raises grade before a base course goes down.

Riprap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection and slope armoring.

Ground and Conditions in Cottage Hills

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. On a drive or a pad, that means where the water goes matters as much as what the surface is made of.

Gully and rill erosion in loess is a real problem on steep ground, and cut slopes can slump after a wet stretch. A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 keeps a drainage trench open because it carries no fines to pack tight and stop the flow.

Frost is part of the year here. Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.

The frost depth figure belongs to the local building department, so check with them for footing depth on any structure.
