CA-11, Stone and Soil Delivery in Normal, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Normal, IL, and CA-6 is the base material most ground here starts from. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes down under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.

Normal sits on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, where deep prairie silt loam covers flat ground and dense clay sits below it. That ground holds water after heavy rain, which shapes what you put on top of it.

Materials for Normal Projects

Water that stands instead of running is the thing to plan around here, so washed stone does a lot of the work. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, and it beds pipe and fills drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that Illinois yards sell alongside CA-7. Use it for the same bedding and drainage work and for downspout runs that need to move water away from a foundation.

Drywells and French drains want clean stone that will not hold water, and Drain Rock covers that use. CA-7 and CA-11 are the sizes contractors here name for it.

At the fine end, CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. CA-16 Chips also top a compacted base.

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

For the base course itself, CA-6 is the local name. It compacts into a firm surface for drives and pads, and Fill Dirt raises grade before it goes down.

Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns, beds and raised plots.

Ground and Conditions in Normal

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 matters as much as the material itself.

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 rather than runs after heavy rain, and that is why a drainage layer matters under and around hard surfaces.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth through most of central and eastern Illinois is about 36 inches, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your job.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets where runoff concentrates, and yard runoff can cut gullies. Clean stone at the outlet and along a run gives that water somewhere to go.
