Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Loda, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Loda, IL, with bulk trucks hauling CA-6, washed stone, sand, topsoil and decorative rock to sites around Iroquois County. CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds on.

Loda sits on the Grand Prairie till plain, where deep dark silt loam over dense clay holds water instead of letting it run. That ground shapes what you order and where the water ends up.

Materials for Loda Projects

Base and driveway surfacing starts with CA-6. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it packs into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For a finished drive surface, driveway gravel goes over a compacted base and gives you the top layer you drive on. walkway gravel does the same job on paths and garden walks, where a finer surface is easier to walk on.

Washed stone handles water and bedding. CA-7, sold as 1 inch clean stone, has no fines, so it drains freely and beds pipe, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone, the CA-11 gradation, cover most drainage and concrete work, and CA-16 chips go under permeable pavers and around tanks.

Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, while mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Lime Screenings and Washed Sand cover both ends of that work.

For lawns and beds, screened topsoil dresses grading and bed prep, and garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots. Fill dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Decorative stone rounds out a yard: Natural Pea Gravel for walkways and play areas, river gravel for beds and dry creek beds, and rip rap for bank protection and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Loda

Rain, snowmelt and summer storms all land on ground with almost no natural fall across the Grand Prairie till plain. Underneath is dense clay subsoil, so water stands rather than runs, and much of the farmland around here is tile drained for that reason.

That matters for what you put down. A driveway or pad built on ground that holds water needs a clean drainage layer under it, which is why CA-7 and CA-11 show up alongside CA-6 on the same job.

Fines-bearing material like CA-6 compacts into a base; clean washed stone lets water move.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets, and runoff concentrates into gullies where it leaves a field or a yard. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that scour.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter, and repeated freeze and thaw pushes gravel drives and shallow slabs each spring.
