Buy CA-11 in Illiopolis, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Illiopolis, IL for contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a new drive, some are patching a rutted one, and both need the right stone.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It sets up as a compacted base for drives, parking pads and shed floors.

This is flat Grand Prairie till plain ground, so what you put down has to shed water on its own.

Materials for Illiopolis Projects

Start with the base. CA-6 is the Illinois base material, a dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Order it by the ton or the yard from the CA-6 page.

Above that base you have a choice. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable surface.

Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines left in, the same idea as CA-6 under its secondary name.

Washed stone is the other half of the work. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, and it beds pipe, drains trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that Illinois yards sell alongside it for the same jobs.

Sand and soil round out a project. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding, and mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Screened topsoil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

For decorative work, Natural Pea Gravel and river gravel handle walkways, beds and dry creek beds, while large river rock suits downspout splash areas and heavier borders. Rip rap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Illiopolis

This part of central Illinois is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

Snowmelt and spring storms sit on the surface until it dries or drains.

That shapes what you build. A fines-bearing material like CA-6 holds up as a compacted base because it binds, but it will not move water away.

Where you need water to leave, you want clean washed stone, CA-7 or CA-11, in a drainage trench or French drain.

Bare silt loam also erodes. Sheet erosion off open ground and gullying where yard runoff concentrates are both common on the Grand Prairie till plain.

Rip rap armors a slope or a culvert outlet where concentrated flow would otherwise cut.

Timing matters as much as material. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall.

The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives and shallow slabs each spring.

Delivery to Illiopolis and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load.

A dump truck then tips the material on site in one pile.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Bulk stone and soil come off the back of the truck in a single pile, so the spot you pick is where the material stays until you move it.
