Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Litchfield, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Litchfield, IL, with CA-6 as the base material most drives and pads here start from. The season runs longer at both ends than it does upstate.

A wet winter and spring still keep sites soft well into April, so late summer and fall are the reliable windows to have material dropped.

Materials for Litchfield Projects

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Order it on its own or as road base.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Crusher Run is the same fines-in stone under its secondary name.

Clean washed stone is the second family. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size Illinois yards sell alongside it for the same work.

Sand splits two ways. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

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

Soil and decorative round out an order. Top Soil is screened prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns, grading and bed prep.

River Gravel covers beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Litchfield

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 instead.

Ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base pumps under traffic when it does. Litchfield sits in Montgomery County on that kind of ground.

The right answer is a clean washed drainage layer, not more fines. CA-7 and CA-11 let water move, which CA-6 will not do once it is wet and tight.

Freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. In this part of the state, frost depth is set by the local building department, so confirm it with them before footing work.

Sheet and gully erosion shows up where the thin loess is bared, and bank scour is a real problem on streams in this part of Illinois. Riprap armors those edges.
