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

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hampshire, IL. Clay ground sheds water instead of taking it, so a wet yard stays wet.

Washed stone is what fixes that.

Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market calls road base. Then add clean stone where water has to move.

Materials for Hampshire Projects

Water is the job here. Heavy silt and clay shed a downpour rather than absorb it, and flat ground gives it nowhere to go.

Clean washed stone is the answer, because the voids between the particles let water pass.

CA-7 is washed 1 inch clean stone with no fines. Use it for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards sell alongside it. It beds drainage and concrete work at a smaller size.

CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips. They bed permeable pavers and drain around tanks.

For a drywell or a downspout run, clean stone is the whole point. Fines would seal the voids and stop the water.

CA-6 carries its fines, so it compacts into a firm base for a driveway, a parking pad or a shed floor. It is not a drainage stone.

Lime screenings are the crushed limestone fines used to bed pavers and flagstone. Torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell, goes under concrete and leveling layers.

Riprap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Hampshire

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay over clay-rich till. It sheds water rather than taking it, and flat ground has little fall.

That is why drainage stone matters more here than base stone alone. A downspout run or a French drain gives the water somewhere to go.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

A wet spring keeps crews off soft clay. Time a delivery to ground that has drained, not to the calendar.

Long cold winters bring many freeze and thaw cycles. Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code. The local building department sets it.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Hampshire?

CA-6 is the base material for a Hampshire driveway. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm surface.

Where the drive stays soft, clean washed stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 lets water drain instead of sitting. Each product page has a calculator for sizing the load.
