Materials delivered in Edwards County
Article 1004.01 sets the coarse aggregate gradations CA 1 through CA 20, and Article 1005.01 sets the riprap gradations RR 3 through RR 7.
Those numbers are how material is specified and ordered in this state. They tell a supplier what gradation you want, nothing more.
CA-6 is the base material to know in Edwards County. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.
Order CA-6 for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.
Clean washed stone handles water. Drain Rock goes into French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs, and contractors here often ask for it as CA-7 or CA-11 by number.
For sand, Mason Sand is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts. Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.
Ground conditions across Edwards County
This part of the state sits on Southern till plain and claypan country. Loess covers old, weathered Illinoian drift, and a tight claypan subsoil sits under it.
The claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, so ground stays saturated for weeks and unbound base can pump under traffic.
That is why a clean washed layer matters under flatwork and pipe. CA-7, CA-11 and CA-16 chips carry water instead of holding it, while CA-6 gives you a compacted base where the ground is firm.
Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, sheet and gully erosion shows up where the thin loess is bared. Bank scour and flooding along the Wabash on the eastern edge of the region are part of the same picture.
Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where moving water is the problem. The season here is longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April.
Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for a delivery. Winters are cold but shorter than in the north, with frequent freeze and thaw swings that work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks.
Choosing the right material
Wayne County, Richland County and White County all sit in Southern Illinois on the same Southern till plain and claypan country ground as Edwards County. The claypan subsoil and the perched water are the same story across all four.
Because the ground is the same, the material choice does not change at the county line. CA-6 for a compacted base, CA-7 or CA-11 for bedding and drainage, and riprap where a bank needs armoring.
Match the material to the job in front of you. A drive or pad takes CA-6, a drainage run takes clean washed stone, and a bed or border takes rounded decorative gravel.
