Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Manito, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Manito, IL, with CA-6 road base leading the way. CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds drives and pads on.

Around here the ground runs sandy on the terraces and silty on the bottoms, so the material under your project matters as much as the surface. Order by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips it on site.

Materials for Manito Projects

Base and driveway surfacing starts with CA-6, also called CA6 or 3/4 dense grade. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knuckles down into a firm, tight surface for a drive, a parking pad, a shed base or trench backfill.

For a drive that just needs a fresh surface, Driveway Gravel tops an existing base. Crusher Run is the same idea under a secondary name, stone with the fines still in it.

Where water has to move, you want clean washed stone instead. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at a smaller size.

Sand and soil round out a project. Washed Sand, which yards here call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Top Soil is screened prairie topsoil for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in Manito

Across the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, the ground was laid down by meltwater floods that cut the valley. That left deep wind-blown and river-laid sand on the terraces, with silt and clay on the low bottoms.

Sand takes water quickly and holds almost none. So the problem on a sandy drive is not a base that stays wet, it is a base that washes and settles when water runs across it.

Wind moves bare sand, and runoff ruts a loose sandy drive. On the low bottoms, the Illinois River comes up and floods the ground.

Bank scour along the river takes its own toll on anything close to the edge.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Open sand drains well and heaves less than the clay ground on the uplands either side, which helps a base hold its shape through the season.

The sandy ground dries and works early in the spring, and work runs into late fall. River bottoms stay off limits while the water is high.
