Bulk Gravel Delivery to Easton, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Easton, IL by the ton or by the yard. Illinois Rock Supply brings bulk material to your site, and CA-6 road base is the crushed limestone most local drives and pads start from.

Terraces here are sandy and droughty, so what you put down has to hold where the ground moves under it.

Ground and Conditions in Easton

Across the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, the ground runs to deep wind-blown and river-laid sand on the terraces, with silt and clay on the low bottoms.

Sand takes water quickly and holds almost none. That changes what a base does here: it washes and settles instead of staying wet, so a thin layer of crushed stone disappears into the sand rather than staying put under a wheel.

Wind moves bare sand, and water running across a loose sandy drive cuts ruts. On the bottom ground, flooding along the Illinois is the bigger problem, and those areas stay off limits while the river is up.

The sandy ground dries and works early in the spring, and the season runs into late fall. Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, though open sand drains well and heaves less than the clay ground on the uplands either side.

Materials for Easton Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the work that decides whether a surface stays flat here. The bedding layer spreads the load evenly and keeps each paver or slab from rocking on the sand below.

Lime screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois: crushed limestone fines that compact into a firm, even bed for pavers and flagstone. Use them for bedding and for backfill around pipe.

Under any bed, CA-6 is the base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

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

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

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same work.

For a finer, walkable surface, CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips used for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks, and topping a compacted base.

Around the flatwork itself, torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and mason sand is the fine clean sand for mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Finish the yard around the work with Top Soil for lawns and grading, Garden Soil for raised beds, and Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings.

Questions About Gravel and Stone in Easton

What gravel is best for a driveway in Easton?

CA-6 is the base for a driveway here. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knits together over sandy ground that would swallow clean stone.

Put it down as the structural layer, then top it with driveway gravel if you want a smoother running surface.

How much material will my project need?

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. The calculator on each product page lets you size the load from your own project numbers, so you order what the job calls for rather than guessing at a pile size.
