Rip Rap and Bulk Aggregates for Farmington, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Farmington, IL to driveways, building pads and drainage work. If your question is what to put on a slope or in a swale before it washes, the answer starts with coarse stone.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market calls road base, handles the compacted surfaces. Washed stone handles everything that has to let water through.

Materials for Farmington Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection is heavy work, and it calls for the coarsest stone you can place. RipRap is broken stone graded for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

In Illinois it is specified as gradations RR 3 through RR 7.

Below that, #4 Crushed Stone is a large clean stone for trench bottoms, heavy drainage and construction entrances.

For bedding and drainage trenches, CA-7 and CA-11 are the washed sizes. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone and CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it for pipe bedding, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base. Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards call screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

CA-6 ties the whole job together as the base course under drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. Fill Dirt raises grade before that base goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Farmington

Work in this part of Illinois runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. That gives you a wide window to time a delivery around grading and drainage work.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. That split is why slope and swale protection matters here, and why clean washed stone belongs in any drainage run.

Gully and rill erosion in loess on steep ground is the pattern to plan around, along with slumping on cut slopes. Coarse stone armors those faces, and washed stone keeps a trench flowing instead of silting shut.

Freeze and thaw still lifts drives and walks each spring in this region. Frost depth is set by the local building department, so check with yours before footing work.
