Order CA-6 and Crushed Stone in Logan County, IL
Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Logan County, IL for contractors and homeowners alike.
Others are topping a drive or filling a raised bed. Both get the same bulk material, ordered online and tipped on site.
CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds on. It carries the fines, so it packs into a firm surface for drives, parking pads and shed bases.
Materials Delivered in Logan County
Article 1004.01 sets the coarse aggregate gradations CA 1 through CA 20.
Article 1005.01 sets the riprap gradations RR 3 through RR 7. Those numbers are how material is specified and ordered in this state.
CA-6 is the Illinois base material: 3/4 inch dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.
CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork. CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same bedding and drainage work.
Decorative and soil products round out a load. River Gravel is rounded stone for beds and dry creek beds, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas.
Garden Soil fills raised beds, and Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.
Delivery Across Logan County
You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.
Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the material on site in one pile.
Delivery covers Lincoln, Atlanta, Mount Pulaski, Elkhart, Latham, Emden, Hartsburg, Middletown, New Holland, Chestnut and Beason. Have the drop area clear before the truck arrives.
The driver tips the load and leaves; the material stays where it lands.
Bulk loads need a surface that will hold a heavy truck and an approach with room to back in. Mark nothing and direct no one.
A clear, firm, open spot is all the site needs.
Ground Conditions Across Logan County
Logan County sits on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois. That is flat to gently rolling ground under deep, dark prairie silt loams, with silty lake beds in the old slack-water basins.
Dense clay subsoil sits beneath it and there is almost no natural fall.
Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, which is why so much farmland in this part of the state is tile drained. For a drive or pad, that means drainage has to be planned rather than assumed.
Clean stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 gives water somewhere to go under and around a structure.
Bare silt loam erodes as sheet wash, and runoff that concentrates cuts gullies. Stream banks scour after heavy rain.
RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where moving water does the damage.
Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter.
Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, so frost heave shows up in gravel drives and walks each spring.
Choosing the Right Material
Mason County sits in the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, on deep wind-blown and river-laid sand left by the meltwater floods that cut the valley. Its terraces are droughty and sandy.
That ground drains fast, so a base there behaves differently from the clay subsoil under Logan County.
Sangamon County and McLean County share Logan County's ground region: the same Grand Prairie till plain, the same dark prairie silt loams, the same moraine ridges and slack-water basins. The ground is the same, and so is the base and drainage approach.
