CA-11 Delivery for Enfield, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Enfield, IL, and the ground here sets the order. Claypan sits close to the surface across this part of Southern Illinois and stops water moving down, so rain perches on top and ground stays saturated for weeks.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base that answers it. Order it by the ton and a dump truck tips it on your site.

Delivery to Enfield and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load before checkout.

Choose a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the material in one pile where you need it. Illinois Rock Supply delivers bulk loads to sites in Enfield and White County, including Carmi, Norris City, Grayville, Crossville and Mill Shoals.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. A pile of CA-6 or fill dirt needs room to land and room to work from.

Materials for Enfield Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work here. The claypan subsoil holds water, so an under-built pad stays soft and moves.

Fill and sub-base go down first, then a compacted base course on top.

Start with Fill Dirt to raise grade before a base course goes down. Build the pad up to level, then cap it with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone that gives you a compacted surface for a drive, a parking pad or a shed floor.

For a driveway, order Driveway Gravel to surface an existing drive or top a compacted base. For a patio or walk, Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.

Where water has to move, use clean washed stone. CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone bed pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Enfield

The soil here is loess over old, weathered Illinoian drift, with tight claypan subsoil underneath. That claypan stops water moving down, so winter and spring rain sits on top and the ground stays saturated for weeks.

An unbound base on saturated clay pumps under traffic and loses its shape. Raise the grade first with fill, then put a compacted CA-6 course over it so the load sits on something that holds.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Where the thin loess is bared, sheet and gully erosion cuts in, and banks scour along this part of the state.

RipRap and clean stone protect the edges that take the water.

Cold here is shorter than upstate, but freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. The season runs longer at both ends, though a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April.

Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for hauling and grading.

Questions About Material in Enfield

What is the best base under pavers in Enfield?

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer under pavers and flagstone in Illinois. Below that, build a compacted CA-6 base so the bedding has something solid to sit on.

On the claypan ground here, that base matters more than the bedding, because saturated clay will not carry the load on its own.
