Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Nauvoo, IL

Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone Illinois calls road base. It carries a driveway, a parking pad, or a shed base.

The loess ground along the Mississippi valley sheds water fast, so the base course is where a project begins.

Materials for Nauvoo Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first. CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Those fines bind the stone, so it locks into a firm, load-bearing surface for drives, pads, and trench backfill.

Top an existing drive with Driveway Gravel, or start a new one on CA-6. For paths and garden walks, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface.

Washed stone handles water. CA-7 and CA-11 are clean 1 inch and 3/4 inch stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains, and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch size.

Sand and soil finish the job. Torpedo sand, which is coarse washed sand, goes under concrete and leveling beds.

Lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone. Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and it comes screened for lawns and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in Nauvoo

Water drives the material choice here. Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

Rain and snowmelt have to go somewhere.

On rolling uplands and dissected bluffs, that runoff cuts gullies and rills into the silty soil. On cut slopes it slumps.

Concentrated water also collapses ground around sinkholes, and in the sinkhole country it disappears into the ground instead of reaching a ditch.

So a Nauvoo driveway needs a base that moves water off the surface, not one that traps it. CA-6 gives you a bound, compacted course.

Where water has to pass through instead, CA-7 or CA-11 with no fines lets it drain.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring across this region. Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate.

Bottomland sites wait out spring high water on the Mississippi and Illinois.
