Fill and Base Material Delivered in Indianola, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Indianola, IL. The base material here is CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade.

It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. Indianola sits in Vermilion County on the Grand Prairie till plain.

Materials for Indianola Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for most often. Fill goes down first to bring a low or uneven spot up to level.

Fill dirt is bulk fill for raising grade before a base course goes down. A pad for a shed or garage starts there, then takes a compacted base on top.

CA-6 is that base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it carries a driveway, a parking pad or a building pad.

For a driveway, order CA-6 over fill, or use Driveway Gravel to surface an existing drive. Crusher Run is the same fines-bearing stone under a secondary name.

For a patio or paver walk, bed the pavers in Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards sell for paver and flagstone bedding.

For a drain, use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7 is the 1 inch clean stone for French drains, drainage trenches and bedding under pipe.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for the same bedding and drainage work.

Ground and Conditions in Indianola

This is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil under deep, dark prairie silt loam. There is almost no natural fall, so water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

An under-built base shows that fast. Water sitting on a pad finds any soft spot and works it loose, and the surface above it moves.

Fill and sub-base have to bring the pad up to a level that sheds water instead of holding it. That is why raising grade comes before the base course.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets, and runoff concentrates into gullies where it leaves a yard. Stream bank scour follows heavy rain in this part of the state.

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.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth is about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, and the local building department sets it.

Questions About Material in Indianola

What is the best base under pavers in Indianola?

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer under pavers and flagstone in Illinois. They are crushed limestone fines that lock the units in place and level the surface.

Below the bedding, a compacted CA-6 base carries the load. For a permeable paver system, CA-16 chips bed the units instead, with clean stone below for drainage.
