CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base most ground here gets built on. In Wayne County that means a tight claypan subsoil that stays wet well into spring.

Materials for Mount Erie Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection is where coarse stone earns its keep in this part of Illinois. Clean, open-graded rock lets water move through instead of running over the top and cutting.

RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Below that, #4 Crushed Stone handles construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

For drainage trenches, French drains and bedding under pipe, use CA-7. It is washed clean stone with no fines, and Illinois yards specify it by number.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch washed stone sold alongside CA-7 for bedding and concrete work.

At the finer end, Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe. CA-6 is your compacted base for drives, parking pads, shed and garage floors and trench backfill.

Delivery to Mount Erie and the Surrounding Area

Every order is placed online, with quantity chosen by the ton or by the yard. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile.

Delivery covers Mount Erie and the rest of Wayne County, including Fairfield, Wayne City, Barnhill, Cisne and Sims. You pick your delivery date at checkout, so plan it around when the ground will take a truck.

Have the pad, drive or work area cleared before the truck arrives so the pile lands where you want it. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Erie

The working season here runs longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for a delivery.

Across Southern Illinois, loess sits over old, weathered drift and a tight claypan subsoil close to the surface. Water perches on that layer instead of draining down, so ground stays saturated for weeks.

Saturated clay heaves under repeated freeze and thaw, which works on drives and walks. Unbound base also pumps under traffic when it is wet, so a clean drainage layer matters as much as the base itself.

Bare loess erodes in sheets and gullies, and banks scour where water concentrates. That is why coarse stone for swales and bank edges does real work on this ground.
