CA-16 Chips, Stone and Soil Delivery in Macedonia, IL

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Macedonia, IL? Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk CA-6, washed stone, sand and soil by the ton, delivered to your site.

If your downspouts dump against the foundation or a French drain never seems to dry out, the answer is usually clean washed stone rather than a base material. In Franklin County that matters, because water sits on tight ground here.

Materials for Macedonia Projects

Washed stone is the material to reach for when the job is moving water rather than carrying a load. It has no fines, so water passes through instead of filling the voids and stopping.

CA-7 is the 1 inch clean stone, and it is what Illinois contractors specify for drainage trenches, French drains and bedding under pipe. CA-7 is sized to let water run freely through the trench.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that yards sell alongside CA-7 for the same kind of work. 3/4" Crushed Stone suits concrete flatwork and tighter drainage runs where the larger stone will not fit.

CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch washed chips, and they handle the fine end of the drainage job. CA-16 Chips bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

For a drywell or a long downspout run, Drain Rock is the clean washed stone that lets the pit empty instead of holding water.

Not every job is a drainage job. CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it builds driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.

Around the edges of the work, Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and Washed Sand is the coarse torpedo sand for concrete and leveling.

Ground and Conditions in Macedonia

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the subsoil is tight and water does not move down through it easily. Winter and spring rain perches on top, and ground stays saturated for weeks.

That changes what you order. An unbound base sitting on saturated clay pumps under traffic, so drainage stone under and beside the work matters as much as the surface material.

The working season runs longer here 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 a delivery.

Freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth is set by the local building department, and footing depth is where that figure belongs.

Questions About Gravel in Macedonia

Do you deliver CA-6 to Macedonia, IL?

Yes. Illinois Rock Supply delivers CA-6 and the rest of the bulk materials to Macedonia and the surrounding Franklin County area.

You order online by the ton or by the yard, choose a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load at your site. CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, used for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Macedonia?

CA-6 is the standard choice for a driveway here. It is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knuckles together into a firm surface rather than staying loose.

On the tight clay ground across this part of the state, drainage beside the drive matters too, and clean washed stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 is what you would use for that.
