Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in North Henderson, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in North Henderson, IL online. Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk stone, sand and soil by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load at your site.

Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market builds on. On the loess uplands here, a path or drive sits on ground that sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

Ground and Conditions in North Henderson

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, deep loess sits over older drift. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That split shows up first in a thin base. Water moves under the edge on a slope and the surface ruts out.

On flat ground the same base pumps and stays soft.

The fix is a base course that carries the load and a clean stone layer that lets water leave. CA-6 with its fines left in binds and compacts into that base.

Clean washed stone does the drainage work, because open stone has no fines to hold water. Keep the two jobs on separate layers.

Gully and rill erosion in loess on steep bluffs and ravines is the other local pattern. Concentrated runoff cuts a channel fast where a path drains onto bare ground.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Bottomland sites wait out spring high water on the Mississippi and Illinois.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. Mercer County sets its own footing depth, so ask the local building department for the figure that applies to your project.

Materials for North Henderson Projects

Fines and screenings surface and bed the paths and walkways around North Henderson. They pack tight, they walk well underfoot, and they hold an edge on a garden walk.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Use them under pavers and flagstone, and as backfill around pipe.

Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable surface. It finishes a walk that lime screenings have already leveled.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material, dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For a clean drainage layer, CA-7 is washed stone with no fines. It beds pipe, fills drainage trenches and French drains, and sits under concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that pairs with CA-7 for bedding and drainage. CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and for topping a compacted base.
