Buy CA-11 in Fulton, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Fulton, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners fixing a muddy lane or a bare yard.

CA-6 is the base material this market builds on, and it is where most Fulton projects should start. From there you add clean stone for drainage, sand for concrete, or topsoil for a lawn.

Materials for Fulton Projects

CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. Those fines let it compact into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

If you are topping an existing drive that already drains well, Driveway Gravel is the surfacing layer rather than the base.

Clean stone is the other half of the picture. It has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting.

CA-7 and CA-11 are the two clean washed sizes for 3/4 to 1 inch work. Use them under pipe, in French drains, or beneath concrete.

CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch size, for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings are the crushed fines that bed pavers and flagstone.

Lime screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois, and they also work as backfill around pipe. For the sand side, torpedo sand goes into concrete, while mason sand is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Topsoil and garden soil finish the job. Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and screened topsoil is what lawns and bed prep want.

Garden Soil is blended for raised beds and vegetable plots.

On the decorative side, Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas, river gravel works in beds and borders, and large river rock handles dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

Ground and Conditions in Fulton

Water is the thing to plan around here. Across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, the flat ground sits on tight till with a high water table, so rain and snowmelt have nowhere to go quickly.

Spring rain on still-frozen ground pushes water across the surface instead of soaking in. That is where a clean stone drainage layer earns its place, because CA-6 holds moisture in its fines while CA-7 and CA-11 let it pass.

Some ground here drains almost too fast, and some barely drains at all. Matching the base to the ground under it matters more than picking a surface color.

Erosion shows up as gully and sheet wash on steeper slopes, and as bank scour along the Rock River bluffs. Riprap armors those edges with heavy broken stone.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, so base work waits for the thaw.

Winters here are among the coldest in the state, with repeated freeze and thaw. Frost depth is set by the local building department, and unbound base and shallow footings take heavy frost action.
