Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Neoga, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Neoga, IL, with CA-6 leading the list. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is the base course under drives, pads and patios here.

Under the thin loess around Neoga sits tight claypan subsoil, the hard, slow ground that shapes how material is chosen in Cumberland County.

Ground and Conditions in Neoga

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Rain perches on top of it, so ground stays saturated for weeks and unbound base pumps under traffic.

A thin base shows that fast. The edges rut, the surface rocks, and the stone works its way down into soft ground instead of staying put.

The fix is a base built thick enough to bridge the soft layer, with a clean drainage layer where water needs somewhere to go. CA-6 is the compacted base for that work, and CA-7 or CA-11 handles the water.

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 grading and base work.

Winters are cold but shorter than in the north, with frequent freeze and thaw swings that work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks.

Materials for Neoga Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the small material matters most. Get the bedding layer wrong and the surface above it moves, no matter how good the base is.

Lime screenings, also called limestone screenings, are crushed limestone fines and the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Paver and flagstone bedding, plus backfill around pipe, is what they are for.

CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base. Torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards call it, is for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Below the bedding sits the base itself. CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone with fines left in, and it takes a compacted base for drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Where water has to move, CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

For the surface above the bedding, driveway gravel tops a compacted base, and walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.
