Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Durand, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Durand, IL, with CA-6 road base as the everyday structural material and a full spread of washed stone, sands and soils behind it.

This part of Winnebago County sits on the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, where loamy prairie soils over dolomite make ground that shifts under load. You order by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the material on site.

Ground and Conditions in Durand

Across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, a drive or path built on a base that is too thin tells you quickly. The surface ruts, pumps and works loose at the edges after a wet spring.

Loamy prairie soils over dolomite shed water slowly, and tight till holds it longer still. Snowmelt and spring rain on still-frozen ground push water across the surface instead of into it.

That is why a compacted base course does the work, with a clean washed stone where water has to move. Frost action is hard on unbound base and shallow footings in northern Illinois, and the local building department sets footing depth.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, so grading and base work get scheduled around it.

Materials for Durand Projects

The assigned angle for Durand is fines and screenings, because paths and garden walks ask for a surface that beds down rather than rolls underfoot. Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois under pavers and flagstone.

Spread and wetted, they knit into a firm, walkable crust that stays put at the edges.

Walkway Gravel covers paths and garden walks that need a finer, walkable surface, and it pairs well with screenings where a run of path meets a bed.

Under the fines, the structural material is CA-6, also called CA6 or 3/4 dense grade. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

CA-6 is what you order for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. Crusher run is the secondary name for the same idea.

Where water has to drain instead of being held, switch to clean washed stone. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains, and 3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size that Illinois yards sell alongside it.

For tighter work, CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Top Soil finishes the job on lawns, grading and bed prep, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through an Illinois summer.
