CA-11 Delivery for Marietta, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Marietta, IL, and the surrounding part of Fulton County. CA-6, also called road base, is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill. The ground here is deep loess over older drift, and loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

Delivery to Marietta and the Surrounding Area

You order online, and a dump truck tips the load on site. Nothing is placed or spread for you, so the pile lands where the truck can reach.

Pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you check out.

You choose a delivery date at checkout. Illinois Rock Supply serves Marietta and the rest of Fulton County, including Canton, Farmington, Lewistown, Astoria and Cuba.

Materials for Marietta Projects

Raising grade and building pads start with fill. Where a site sits low or a pad needs to come up, fill dirt goes down first and a CA-6 base course goes over it.

That order matters, because a base laid on soft or uneven ground will not hold.

For a driveway, order CA-6 as the base course, then top it with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface. Crusher Run is the same idea under a secondary name, crushed stone with the fines left in.

For a patio or paver walk, bed the pavers in Lime Screenings. Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois.

Under them, a compacted CA-6 base carries the load.

For drainage, order clean washed stone. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

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

For concrete, use Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand. It is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Marietta

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, the soil is deep loess over older Illinoian drift. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That matters under a pad. Water that sits in the flats softens the subgrade, and a base built over soft ground moves.

Raise the grade with fill first, then bring the CA-6 up to the level you want.

Gully and rill erosion in loess is a real problem on steep ground. Where runoff concentrates, clean stone and rip rap armor the slope instead of soil.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring, so a base has to sit above the line the local building department sets.
