CA-6 and Bulk Aggregates for Ellis Grove, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ellis Grove, IL, by the ton or the yard. CA-6 is the base material this part of Illinois builds on: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. The same truck can bring washed stone, sand, soil or decorative rock for the rest of the job.

Materials for Ellis Grove Projects

Washed stone is the material for water that has to move. It carries no fines, so water passes straight through instead of sitting in the pile.

French drains, drywells and downspout runs all depend on that open structure.

CA-7 is the one inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork. CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same kind of work.

CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch size, for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. At the other end, CA-6 is the dense graded base for drives, pads and trench backfill, and it compacts because the fines stay in it.

Lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and they backfill around pipe where a finer material fits. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

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

For beds and borders, river gravel and large river rock handle decorative work and dry creek beds. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas.

Topsoil, garden soil and fill dirt cover lawns, raised beds and grading before a base course goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Ellis Grove

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. That is a little longer than upstate, which matters when you are timing a delivery.

Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. Water also disappears into the ground in the sinkhole country instead of running to a ditch.

That is why drainage material earns its place here.

Freeze and thaw still lifts drives and walks each spring. Frost depth in this region runs about 36 to 40 inches, and the local building department sets the figure it uses.

A clean stone layer under a wet area gives water somewhere to go.
