Buy CA-11 in Kell, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Kell, IL for contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a driveway from scratch, others are topping an old one or backfilling a trench.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone most drives and pads start from here. It carries the fines that let it tighten up under a truck.

Materials for Kell Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most Kell projects begin, and CA-6 is the material that does that work. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knuckles down and holds together under tires.

Use it for a new drive, a parking pad, a shed or garage base, or trench backfill.

Where the ground stays wet, you want clean stone instead of a fines-bearing base. Clean stone has no fines to hold water, so it lets water move.

• CA-7, also called #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold locally as CA-11, for bedding, drainage and concrete work.
• CA-16 Chips, the 3/8 inch chips, for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.
• RipRap, also called RR3 or RR4, for bank protection, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Sand and soil round out a project. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

For lawns and beds, screened topsoil is dark Illinois prairie soil, and shredded mulch holds moisture through a summer. Decorative work runs to River Gravel and Large River Rock.

Ground and Conditions in Kell

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, and the ground stays saturated for weeks.

That matters to a base course. Unbound base sitting on saturated clay can pump under traffic, so the drainage layer under a drive earns its place here.

The thin loess over old, weathered drift also erodes. Sheet and gully erosion shows up where the cover is bared, and banks scour along the region's streams.

The working season is longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and stone work.

Winters here are cold but shorter than in the north, and frequent freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay. That heaves drives and walks.

Frost depth is about 30 to 36 inches in this part of Illinois, set by the local building department.
