Buy CA-11 in Mount Sterling, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mount Sterling, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners fixing a lane or a bed. Both work the same ground, deep loess over older drift that sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this state calls road base, is the material a driveway or parking pad is built from. Washed stone, sand and soil round out the order.

Materials for Mount Sterling Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Mount Sterling project starts, and CA-6 is the material that does it. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knits into a firm surface under a drive, a parking pad, a shed base or a trench backfill.

For an existing drive that just needs a fresh wearing surface, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base. Crusher Run is the same idea under a secondary name, crushed stone with the fines still in it.

Washed stone is the other half of the list, and it is a different animal because there are no fines in it. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone used for the same bedding and drainage work and under concrete flatwork.

Smaller clean sizes finish tight spaces. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Sand and soil cover the rest of a site. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Mason Sand is finer, for brick and block mortar and paver joints. Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil for lawns and bed prep, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through a summer.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Sterling

Water is the thing to plan around here. Rain and snowmelt come off loess slopes fast and then sit in the flats, so a drive or a pad needs a surface that sheds and a base that stays put underneath.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, gully and rill erosion cuts into steep ground and cut slopes slump after a wet stretch. On a graded site that means holding the finished grade and keeping runoff moving instead of pooling at the edge of a pad.

Clean washed stone is the drainage answer where water has to travel. CA-7 and CA-11 both let water through because the fines are washed out, which is why they bed pipe and fill French drains rather than carry a drive.

Timing matters as much as material. Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall across this part of the state, a little longer than upstate, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.

Frost depth figures are set locally by the building department, so check with Brown County before you plan anything set in the ground.
