Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Creve Coeur, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Creve Coeur, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives, pads and drainage, and homeowners patching a lane or topping a bed. Both start in the same place, with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base.

The ground here is sandy and droughty on the terraces, so what you put down has to hold where water moves fast. Order online by the ton or by the yard and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Materials for Creve Coeur Projects

CA-6 is the base material for this market. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knits together under a vehicle and stays put instead of rolling.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage floors, and trench backfill.

See CA-6 for the base course itself, or Driveway Gravel when you are surfacing a drive that already has a compacted base under it.

Washed stone is the other half of the work. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch clean sizes, with no fines, which is what makes them drain.

Use them for bedding under pipe, French drains, drainage trenches and under concrete flatwork. Both are on the site as CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone.

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

Sand splits by job. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, sold as Washed Sand.

Mason sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Soil and decorative round out a load. Topsoil is screened and dark, for lawns and bed prep.

Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock cover walkways, beds, borders and dry creek beds. RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Creve Coeur

Across the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, the ground is deep wind-blown and river-laid sand left by meltwater floods, with silt and clay down on the low bottoms. Sand takes water quickly and holds almost none of it.

That flips the usual problem: a base here washes and settles rather than sitting wet.

So a drive built on bare sand needs a base that binds, which is why CA-6 with its fines does the work a clean stone cannot. Where water runs across a loose sandy drive, expect wash and rutting, and put a clean drainage layer where the water actually goes.

Wind moves bare sand too, so cover finished ground rather than leaving it open. The sandy ground dries and works early in the spring, and work runs into late fall.

Low bottoms along the river flood when the Illinois comes up, so keep those areas off the schedule during high water.

Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Open sand drains well and heaves less than the clay ground on the uplands either side.

Frost depth is about 36 inches in this part of the state, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your job.
