CA-6 and Bulk Aggregates for Evansville, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Evansville, IL, by the ton or by the yard. Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in that this part of Illinois calls road base.

Every product page carries a calculator for sizing the load. Work through it before you order, because the ground here decides most of what you need.

Materials for Evansville Projects

Drainage is the job that shapes a lot of work around here. Water that vanishes into the ground instead of running to a ditch needs somewhere to go, and that means washed stone.

CA-7, also called #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, is washed clean with no fines. It beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and French drains, and sits under concrete flatwork.

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

Down to the finest clean size, CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips. Use them for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks, and capping a compacted base.

Below the clean stone sizes sit the fines-bearing materials. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois.

For a drive or a parking pad, CA-6 is the base course that compacts and holds. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Two sands cover the rest. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call 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, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Delivery to Evansville and the Surrounding Area

Illinois Rock Supply delivers bulk aggregate across Evansville and Randolph County. Chester, Sparta, Red Bud, Steeleville and Percy sit in the same county and are covered on the same terms.

You order online, choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck backs in and tips the load in one pile on site.

Pick a date when the ground is workable. On the loess slopes and in the flats, a wet spell changes what a truck can reach, and the working season here runs from the spring thaw into late fall.

Ground and Conditions in Evansville

Evansville sits in the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border country. Deep loess covers older drift on rolling ground, cut by bluffs and steep ravines.

That soil sheds water fast on a slope and holds it in the flats. On the uplands, water disappears into the ground through sinkhole karst instead of running to a ditch, so a drainage layer has to be planned, not assumed.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Gullies and rills open in loess on steep bluffs and ravines, cut slopes slump, and ground collapses around sinkholes where runoff concentrates.

Clean washed stone in a trench gives that water a path.

Cold winters bring freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. A compacted CA-6 base takes that movement better than a thin surface layer.

Questions About Gravel in Evansville

Do you deliver CA-6 to Evansville, IL?

Yes. Illinois Rock Supply delivers CA-6 and other bulk aggregate to Evansville and the rest of Randolph County, including Chester, Sparta, Red Bud, Steeleville and Percy.

You order online by the ton or by the yard, choose a quantity with the calculator on the product page, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the load in one pile on your site.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Evansville?

CA-6 is the base course for a driveway here. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a surface that holds under a truck.

Top it with Driveway Gravel if you want a fresh wearing surface. On the loess ground around Evansville, a base that compacts matters as much as the stone on top.
