CA-11 and Bulk Aggregates for Kansas, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Kansas, IL, from a single ton of washed stone to full loads of CA-6. CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Kansas sits in Edgar County, on ground that is flat and slow to drain. That shapes what you put down and when you put it down.

Materials for Kansas Projects

Washed stone carries water. That is the whole point of it.

Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through the voids instead of pooling on top, and that makes it the right material for French drains, drywells, downspout runs and foundation drains.

It beds pipe and fills drainage trenches.

CA-7 also goes under concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone. It sits alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

3/4" Crushed Stone fits tighter runs where the larger stone is too coarse.

CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips. Use them for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks, and topping a compacted base.

CA-16 Chips also work in tight bedding.

For a drywell or a long downspout run, Drain Rock is clean washed stone with nothing in it to hold water. Where a trench bottom needs the largest clean size.

Fines-bearing material does a different job. CA-6 compacts into a base and does not drain.

CA-6 is the base course for drives, pads and trench backfill. Fill Dirt raises grade before that base goes down.

Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they bed pavers and flagstone. Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois.

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding. Washed Sand handles all three.

For beds and tree rings, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a summer.

Ground and Conditions in Kansas

Base, driveway and paver work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material itself.

This part of 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.

That is why drainage stone earns its place on a Kansas project.

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the soil is deep, dark prairie silt loam over Wisconsin Episode till. Bare ground erodes in sheets, and runoff concentrates into gullies where it leaves a field or a yard.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives and walks each spring. Frost depth runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois.

The local building department sets the figure that applies to your footing depth.
