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

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Gladstone, IL, and the ground here decides what you need. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so drainage is the job.

CA-6, the local road base, builds the pad; washed stone carries the water away.

Order by the ton or by the yard, pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Materials for Gladstone Projects

Start with the washed stone. Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling.

That is what a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run needs.

CA-7 and CA-11

CA-7 is washed clean stone, the 1 inch size, for bedding under pipe and drainage trenches. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the same clean family at 3/4 inch, sold locally as CA-11.

Both work in a French drain, a drywell, a foundation drain or a downspout run. Neither compacts into a base, because there are no fines to bind it.

CA-16 Chips and Screenings

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch washed chips for drainage around tanks and for bedding permeable pavers. Lime Screenings are the crushed fines that bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Base, Sand and Soil

CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Washed Sand, sold here as torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and bedding.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns, grading and bed prep. RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and slope armoring.

Ground and Conditions in Gladstone

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Bottomland sites wait out spring high water.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. That split drives two different fixes on the same property.

On a slope, runoff concentrates and cuts gullies and rills. RipRap armors a cut slope, a culvert outlet or a bank edge where the water leaves the pipe.

In the flats, water sits. A French drain or a drywell of CA-7 or CA-11 gives it somewhere to go instead of under the slab.

Cold winters bring freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. The local building department sets the footing depth for this area.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Gladstone?

CA-6 is the standard base for a driveway here. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm surface that carries a vehicle.

Top an existing drive with Driveway Gravel, or build the base course with CA-6 first.
