CA-11 and Bulk Aggregates for Oblong, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Oblong, IL, and CA-6 is the base material most ground here is built on. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the tight subsoil decides how a site drains.

Materials for Oblong Projects

Washed stone does the water work around a house. Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of stacking up on top.

CA-7 is washed clean stone, and it beds pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

Order CA-7 when a trench has to stay open to water.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it. It beds drainage and concrete the same way.

Order 3/4" Crushed Stone for the same work at a smaller size.

CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

Order CA-16 Chips for tight bedding and fine drainage.

Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines. They bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Order Lime Screenings for bedding layers.

For a driveway surface or a top course over a compacted base, Driveway Gravel is the material. Fill dirt raises grade before a CA-6 course goes down, and Fill Dirt is ordered by the ton or the yard.

Ground and Conditions in Oblong

The working season here is 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, so timing a delivery around them matters.

The claypan subsoil sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base can pump under traffic.

That is why a drainage layer earns its place on this ground. Clean stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives perched water somewhere to go instead of sitting under a base course.

Sheet and gully erosion shows up where the thin loess is bared, and there is bank scour along the rivers on this side of the state. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that pull.

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. Frost depth is about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets it.
