Order CA-6 and Crushed Stone in Cumberland County, IL
Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Cumberland County, IL online from Illinois Rock Supply. Pick a material, size the load by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips it on site.
Start with CA-6, the Illinois base material. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes down under drives, parking pads and shed bases.
Materials Delivered in Cumberland County
CA-6 is the base material for this part of Illinois.
Order CA-6 for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill. The fines bind the stone together once it is compacted.
Washed stone comes next. It has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting in it.
Sand, soil and decorative stone round out a load. Mason Sand is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.
Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots. Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.
For bank protection and culvert outlets, order RipRap.
Choosing the Right Material
Cumberland County sits in Southern till plain and claypan country. So do Effingham County and Shelby County, which share the same ground region.
That means the same tight claypan subsoil and the same slow, hard ground. Material choices carry across the county line unchanged.
Coles County is different. Its ground is the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, flat to gently rolling till under deep, dark prairie silt loams.
That ground drains better than claypan country. A base course still matters there, but water does not perch the way it does over a claypan.
Here, the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Rain and snowmelt sit on top of it instead.
So the base has to shed water sideways rather than rely on it draining away underneath. That is why clean washed stone belongs in drainage runs and bedding.
CA-6 stays the base for drives and pads because the fines bind it. Keep the clean stone for the places water has to move.
Ground Conditions Across Cumberland County
Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan sits close to the surface. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it.
Ground stays saturated for weeks. Unbound base pumps under traffic when that happens, so drainage layers matter as much as the base itself.
The thin loess bares easily where it is exposed. Sheet and gully erosion follow on bare ground, and bank scour is a real problem on the region's streams.
Freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay. That heaves drives and walks through a southern Illinois winter.
Frost depth in this part of the state runs about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets the figure. Treat it as a footing depth, not a target for a gravel base.
The working season is longer than upstate at both ends. A wet winter and spring still keep sites soft well into April.
Late summer and fall are the reliable windows. Ground is firm and the load goes down clean.
