Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Kewanee, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Kewanee, IL. The working season here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base most drives and pads in Henry County start from. Order it online and a dump truck tips it on site.

Materials for Kewanee Projects

CA-6 is the Illinois base material. It goes down under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

The fines bind the crushed limestone together so it compacts into a firm surface.

Above a compacted base, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops what is already there. For paths and garden walks that need a finer, walkable surface, Walkway Gravel is the choice.

Washed stone has no fines. CA-7, sold here as CA-7, is the one inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.

CA-11, the 3/4" Crushed Stone, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for the same work at a smaller size.

For sand, torpedo sand is what Illinois yards call coarse washed sand. Washed Sand is used for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Soil and decorative material round out a project. Top Soil is the dark, silty prairie soil, sold screened for lawns and bed prep.

Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots, and River Gravel covers beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Kewanee

Water is the driver across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country. Snowmelt and spring rain on frozen ground push water across the surface before the soil can take it in.

Flat ground over tight till holds that water, while sand plains nearby drain almost too fast.

Where water sits, a clean washed stone drainage layer matters more than a thicker base. CA-7 and CA-11 both work there because the open stone lets water move instead of trapping it.

Gully and sheet erosion shows on steeper slopes, and bank scour is a real problem on creek and river banks. Riprap armors those edges.

Frost action is heavy in unbound base and shallow footings across the northern counties. Frost depth is about 42 inches for that region, though the local building department sets the figure it enforces.

Frozen ground stops compaction, so base work waits for the thaw.
