Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Dewey, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Dewey, IL, with CA-6 leading the load list. CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base, and it carries the fines that lock a surface together.

Dewey sits in Champaign County on the Grand Prairie till plain, where deep dark silt loam over dense clay holds water after a heavy rain. That ground decides what you order.

Ground and Conditions in Dewey

Flat ground with clay beneath it and almost no natural fall means water stands instead of running off. A thin base shows that first: the surface pumps, ruts and loses its shape.

The fix is a base with the fines left in, placed over ground that has been shaped to shed water. CA-6 is that base material, and it is what you build a drive, a parking pad or a shed floor on.

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth is set by the local building department, so check with yours before any footing work.

Materials for Dewey Projects

Paths and walkways are where fines and screenings do their best work. A walkable surface needs a material that knits together underfoot instead of rolling away, and that is a fines story, not a clean stone story.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, the standard bedding layer in Illinois. They bed pavers and flagstone, surface a garden path, and backfill around pipe.

Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks the finer, walkable surface they need. It is the order for a route you use daily rather than a drive you park on.

Underneath either one, CA-6 is the compacted base for drives, pads and trench backfill.

Where water has to move instead of sit, switch to clean washed stone. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that pairs with CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work.
