CA-11, Stone and Soil Delivery in Fisher, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Fisher, IL, and CA-6 is the base material most of that work starts from. CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes down under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. The ground here is flat and slow to drain, so what you put on top matters as much as what you put under it.

Materials for Fisher Projects

The washed stone side of the yard carries the drainage work. CA-7, also called #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, is washed clean with no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling on top.

That is what you want bedding under pipe, in a drainage trench, in a French drain or under concrete flatwork. CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it for the same jobs.

For tighter work, CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch limestone chips. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

Lime screenings, the crushed limestone fines many yards call stone dust, bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding, and mason sand is the finer one for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

On the base and surfacing side, CA-6 carries driveways, pads and backfill. Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, while crusher run is the same idea under its secondary name.

Fill dirt raises grade before a CA-6 course goes down, and topsoil is the screened prairie soil for lawns and bed prep.

Rounded stone and heavier rock round out the list. Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock cover walkways, beds, borders and dry creek beds, and rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Fisher

Base, driveway and paver work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter.

Across the Grand Prairie till plain, this is some of the flattest ground in the country. Dense clay subsoil sits under deep, dark prairie silt loams, and there is almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, which is why so much farmland around here is tile drained. Around a house, that means clean washed stone and a drainage layer do real work.

Bare silt loam also washes off in sheets and gullies where runoff concentrates. Seed or cover bare ground when you can.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives and walks each spring. The local building department sets the frost depth used for footings.
