CA-11, Stone and Soil Delivery in Mount Pulaski, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mount Pulaski, IL, and the ground here shapes what you need. Deep, dark prairie silt loams sit over flat till with dense clay beneath, so water stands instead of running.

That makes CA-6, the local road base, the starting point for most drives and pads.

CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it compacts into a firm surface. Where water has to move rather than sit, washed stone does the work.

Materials for Mount Pulaski Projects

Washed stone is what keeps water moving on this ground. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean stone with no fines, because fines pack tight and stop the water from passing through.

Start with the coarser clean sizes. #4 Crushed Stone is the largest clean stone, and it suits trench bottoms and heavy drainage where a lot of water moves at once.

CA-7 is one inch washed stone.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold here as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that handles French drains, drywells and concrete flatwork. Drain Rock covers the same ground for foundation drains and downspout runs.

Finer clean stone finishes the job. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and for drainage around tanks.

Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines that bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

For the base course itself, CA-6 goes down over fill dirt to build a driveway, parking pad or shed base. Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns, beds and raised plantings once the grade is set.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Pulaski

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat with dense clay subsoil and almost no natural fall. Water stands after heavy rain rather than running off, which is why drainage matters as much as the surface on a drive or pad.

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, so timing a delivery around the season is part of planning the job.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives and shallow slabs each spring. Sheet erosion off bare silt loam and gullying where runoff concentrates are the other local concern, so grade and drainage both deserve attention before the surface goes down.

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and the calculator on each product page helps you size the load.
