Order CA-6 and Crushed Stone in Mercer County, IL
Illinois Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Mercer County, IL. Across the Western Illinois loess uplands, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so driveways and drainage fail from water, not from traffic.
CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone that answers it. Order online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Materials delivered in Mercer County
CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.
Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. It is specified locally as CA 6, not as another state's base designation.
Pair CA-6 with washed clean stone for anything that has to drain. The table pairs each material with what it is for.
Ground conditions across Mercer County
Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, a little longer than upstate. Cold winters bring freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.
Deep loess sits over older Illinoian drift on rolling uplands, with dissected bluffs and steep ravines. Gully and rill erosion moves fast in loess on steep ground, so slope protection matters.
Where runoff concentrates, loess erodes and cut slopes slump. RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges on ground that sheds water quickly.
Choosing the right material
Henry County sits on Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, where Wisconsin Episode till and loamy prairie soils over dolomite meet the sand and gravel of the Green River Lowland. That ground differs from Mercer County's deep loess over Illinoian drift.
On till, a fines-bearing base like CA-6 still carries a drive, but drainage stone works differently where the subsoil holds water. Knox and Warren counties share Mercer County's ground region, so the base and drainage choices there are the same.
Match the stone to the water. Clean washed stone drains; a dense graded base compacts and carries load.
