Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Elizabethtown, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Elizabethtown, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building and repairing drives, pads and drainage, and homeowners taking on a single project. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material behind most of that work.

This is unglaciated hill country, where thin soil sits over rock close to the surface. What you put down has to suit ground that stores very little water.

Materials for Elizabethtown Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first, because a drive or a parking pad is only as good as the layer under it. CA-6 is the Illinois base material for that job.

CA-6 is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knits into a firm, compacted surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and Crusher Run is the same fines-bearing idea under a secondary name.

Washed stone is the other half of the picture. It has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting.

CA-7 is the one inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains, and 3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size sold alongside it for the same work.

For smaller openings, CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips used for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. RipRap goes the other direction: heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and slope armoring.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out a project. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and bedding.

Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas. Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

On the decorative side, River Gravel and Large River Rock handle beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Elizabethtown

Start with where the water goes, because on this ground that decides everything else. Across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, steep slopes push runoff into narrow hollows fast, and heavy rain arrives in large amounts at once.

Thin soil over rock has nowhere to store that water. A hillside drive takes the runoff from everything above it, so the surface has to shed water rather than hold it.

That is why clean washed stone matters here. CA-7 and CA-11 let water pass through a drainage trench or a French drain instead of ponding behind it.

Fines-bearing material like CA-6 is for building a firm surface, not for draining one.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Fast runoff scours hillside drives and culvert outlets, cut banks slump, and unsurfaced tracks gully.

RipRap armors the places where concentrated flow hits, such as a culvert outlet or a pond edge.

The working season runs long here, from late winter into early winter. Wet weather and soft hillside access set the limit far more than frozen ground does.

Frost matters less than water on these slopes, and any footing depth is set by the local building department.
