Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Odell, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Odell, IL, with CA-6 leading the way. CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds on.

It packs into a firm surface for drives, pads and trench backfill. The ground here is flat Grand Prairie till under dark silt loam, so what you put down has to shed water well.

Materials for Odell Projects

Start with the base. CA-6 is crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it compacts into a tight surface for a driveway, a parking pad or a shed floor.

Order it by the ton from the CA-6 page.

If you are resurfacing a drive that already has a firm base under it, driveway gravel gives you a fresh wearing course. crusher run is the same idea as CA-6 under a secondary name, stone with the fines still in it.

Washed stone handles the water. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, and it beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone that does the same work at a smaller size. Both are on the CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone pages.

For bedding and finishing, CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime screenings are the crushed fines that bed pavers and flagstone.

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Odell

Rain and snowmelt are the whole story on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois. This is some of the flattest ground anywhere, and the dense clay subsoil beneath it gives water almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after a heavy storm. That is why so much farmland around here is tile drained, and it is why a drive or pad needs a clean stone layer to move water away instead of trapping it.

The soil is deep, dark prairie silt loam over Wisconsin Episode till. Bare silt loam erodes in sheets, and runoff that concentrates cuts gullies, so bare ground wants cover or a stone surface.

Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and the ground is slow to dry in a wet spring.
