CA-7 and Bulk Aggregates for Farina, IL

Wondering what to order for a wet yard, a new drive or a drainage trench? Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Farina, IL, and the answer usually starts with washed stone.

CA-6 is the base material here, a dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. Clean stone like CA-7 is what you want where water has to move.

Materials for Farina Projects

Washed stone is the material for anything that has to drain. In this part of Illinois that means French drains, drywells and downspout runs, where water needs open voids instead of a packed surface.

CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, and it is the size for bedding under pipe and around a drywell. CA-7 stays open because nothing fills the gaps between the stones.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that goes with it for the same work. Order 3/4" Crushed Stone for drainage trenches, concrete flatwork and foundation drains.

For a downspout run or a tight trench, CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch washed stone. CA-16 Chips also bed permeable pavers and top a compacted base.

CA-6 is the other half of the job. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Where a drive needs a finer, walkable surface, Walkway Gravel is the material for paths and garden walks. RipRap covers the heavier end: broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Farina

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the subsoil is tight and water does not move down through it easily. Rain perches on top, so ground stays saturated for weeks.

That matters for what you order. An unbound base sitting on saturated clay pumps under traffic, which is why a drainage layer of clean stone earns its place under a drive or a pad.

The working season here is longer than upstate at both ends. A wet winter and spring still keep sites soft well into April, and late summer and fall are the reliable windows for a delivery.

Winters are cold but shorter than in northern Illinois, and frequent freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay. That heaves drives and walks, so plan the base and the drainage together.
