Buy CA-11 in Olmsted, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Olmsted, IL. Work here runs almost year round, but spring and early summer high water can shut bottomland sites for weeks, so timing a load matters.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds the base under a drive, a parking pad or a shed floor.

Materials for Olmsted Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a project starts. CA-6 is the Illinois base material: crushed limestone with the fines left in, compacted under drives, parking pads, garage slabs and trench backfill.

CA-6 takes the load. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and Crusher Run is the same fines-bearing stone under its secondary name.

Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at 3/4 inch.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines that bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand and soil round out a site. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Mason Sand is finer, for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Top Soil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep. Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Decorative stone finishes beds and borders. River Gravel is rounded stone for beds and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock is the bigger size for downspout splash areas.

Ground and Conditions in Olmsted

Olmsted sits in Pulaski County, on flat alluvial bottomland across the Cairo lowland and the southern river bottoms. Deep silt, sand and clay were laid down by the rivers, with sand ridges and old channel scars through it.

The water table is high under most of that ground. This is the lowest land in the state, and it sits behind levees and drainage districts, so heavy rain has nowhere to go and backwater holds water on the land.

That changes how you build a base. A fines-bearing material like CA-6 holds water once it is compacted, so saturated ground under it stays soft.

A clean washed layer such as CA-7 or CA-11 lets water pass instead.

Erosion follows the same pattern. River bank caving and scour work on the banks, and runoff cuts across soft silty ground wherever it concentrates.

RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Winters here are the mildest in Illinois, with limited freeze and thaw and ground that rarely stays frozen for long. Any frost depth is set by the local building department, not by the material supplier.

Delivery to Olmsted and the Surrounding Area

Order online and a dump truck tips your load on site in one pile. You choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to help size it.

Have the drop area clear and reachable before the truck arrives. The driver tips the load and leaves it where it lands, so pick a spot that keeps the pile out of the way of the work.
