Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Onarga, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Onarga, IL. Base, driveway and paver work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, so the ground sets the schedule as much as the project does.

CA-6, also called road base, is where most of that work starts: a dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. Order it for a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base or trench backfill.

Materials for Onarga Projects

CA-6 is the base and driveway material for Onarga. The fines in it bind the crushed limestone into a surface that tightens under traffic, which is why it carries a drive, a parking pad or a garage slab base.

Order CA-6 by the ton or by the yard.

If you are surfacing an existing drive instead of building from bare ground, Driveway Gravel is the topping material. For a path or garden walk that needs a finer, walkable finish, use Walkway Gravel.

Clean washed stone is a separate job from base. It has no fines, so it drains instead of locking up.

CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone (CA-11) are the Illinois gradations for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork. CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch size for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

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

Mason Sand is the finer, clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

For lawns, grading and bed prep, Top Soil is the dark, silty prairie soil, sold screened. Garden Soil is blended for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas.

Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 course goes down.

Decorative and specialty stone covers the rest. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Ground and Conditions in Onarga

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, this is some of the flattest ground in the country. Dense clay subsoil sits under deep, dark prairie silt loam with almost no natural fall.

That means water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, and the farmland around here is largely tile drained for the same reason. On a driveway or a pad, drainage has to be designed in, not left to the grade.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare silt loam sheets off in a hard rain, and yard runoff cuts gullies where it concentrates.

A clean washed stone layer handles that better than a fines-bearing material, because it lets water move through instead of holding it.

Your working window runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives and shallow slabs each spring.
