CA-6 Delivery for Mooseheart, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mooseheart, IL, and CA-6 is the base material most of that work starts from. CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill on the heavy silt and clay ground of this part of Kane County.

Materials for Mooseheart Projects

Raising grade and building pads are what drive material choice here. A low or uneven lot gets brought up with fill before anything hard goes on top.

Fill Dirt is the bulk material for raising grade under a pad or a lawn. It goes down first and gets built up until the lot sits where you need it.

Once grade is set, CA-6 is the sub-base and surface for a driveway, a parking pad or a garage slab base. The fines bind it together and it compacts into a hard, stable layer.

Crusher Run is the same idea under a secondary name, crushed stone with the fines left in, for base and drives.

For a patio or a paver walk, Lime Screenings are the bedding layer. The limestone fines screed flat and hold a paver course.

Wet ground and roof runoff call for clean stone instead of a fines-bearing material. CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone (CA-11) are washed clean stone with no fines, for drainage trenches, French drains and bedding under pipe.

Sand and soil round out a Mooseheart job. Washed Sand, or torpedo sand, is the coarse sand for concrete and leveling, and Top Soil finishes a lawn or a bed after the grade work.

Ground and Conditions in Mooseheart

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground runs to heavy silt and clay. That soil sheds water rather than taking it in, so it stays soft long after a rain.

Flat ground has little fall, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers. Water that cannot move away sits on a bare clay lot and turns it to mud.

An under-built base on that ground pumps and ruts. A compacted CA-6 course over properly raised fill carries a vehicle load without shifting.

Long cold winters bring many freeze and thaw cycles, and frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring. Gravel surfaces stay soft until the ground drains.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.
