Buy CA-11 in Louisville, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Louisville, IL to driveways, pads and building sites across Clay County. CA-6 road base is the material local crews spec for a compacted drive or parking pad.

Alongside it you can order washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock by the ton.

This is Southern till plain and claypan country, so the material you put down has to hold up on tight, slow ground.

Materials for Louisville Projects

Everything starts with base and driveway surfacing. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Those fines let it knit together under a compactor, which is what a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base needs.

For a fresh drive or a new layer over a tired one, driveway gravel gives you a clean surface to work from. If your path or garden walk needs a finer, walkable finish, walkway gravel is the size to order.

Washed stone is the other half of the picture. CA-7, sold here as #57 stone, is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe and drainage trenches.

3/4" Crushed Stone, known locally as CA-11 or sewer stone, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that goes with it for bedding and concrete flatwork.

At the small end, CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand and soil round out an order. Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints.

Screened topsoil handles lawns and grading, and garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Decorative stone finishes the job. River gravel and large river rock dress beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Louisville

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, so ground stays saturated for weeks.

That matters to what you order. Unbound base over saturated clay pumps under traffic, which is why CA-6 goes down over a properly prepared subgrade rather than straight onto soft ground.

Fill dirt raises grade first when a site needs it.

Where water has to leave, clean washed stone does the work. CA-7 and CA-11 both drain, because neither carries fines to clog the voids.

That is the difference between a base material and a drainage material, and it is worth keeping straight on a site like this.

The working season runs 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 base work.
