Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Milmine, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Milmine, IL, and CA-6 is the base material most of that work starts from. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. The ground here is flat prairie silt loam over clay, so the base you put down matters.

Materials for Milmine Projects

Decorative rock does a lot of the work on Milmine properties, from bed cover to dry creek beds. Rounded stone is the place to start when the goal is looks rather than structure.

River Gravel, also called river rock, is rounded decorative gravel for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds, downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work.

For walkways and play areas, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel. It suits walkways, play areas, fence post mix and drainage.

When the job is a driveway, a patio or a drain, the clean washed stone takes over. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base. For paver and flagstone bedding, Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois.

Ground and Conditions in Milmine

Milmine sits on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois. That means flat to gently rolling ground under deep, dark prairie silt loams.

Beneath the silt is dense clay subsoil, and this is some of the flattest ground in the country with almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, so a base that was not built to shed water will hold it.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets, and runoff concentrates into gullies where field and yard water gathers. A clean washed stone layer under a drain or a pipe gives that water somewhere to go.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives and walks each spring.
