Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Pana, IL

If you are building a driveway, a parking pad, or a shed base in Pana, the material at the bottom is the one that decides how the job holds up.

Illinois Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in Pana, IL, and most of that work starts with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

The ground here is flat prairie silt loam over clay, so water has nowhere to go. That shapes what you put down.

Materials for Pana Projects

CA-6 is the Illinois base material. It goes down as the compacted base for driveways, parking pads, garage and shed floors, and trench backfill.

Order it at CA-6.

On top of a finished CA-6 base, or over an existing drive that just needs a fresh surface, Driveway Gravel is the surfacing layer. For a path or garden walk that needs a finer, walkable top, use Walkway Gravel.

Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines still in it, the secondary name for the same kind of base material.

Clean washed stone handles water and bedding. CA-7 is 1 inch washed stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch washed stone Illinois yards carry alongside it for the same work.

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

Sand comes in two grades. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

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

For ground that needs building up before any base goes down, Fill Dirt raises grade in bulk. Top Soil covers lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Shredded Mulch finishes beds and tree rings and holds moisture through the summer.

Decorative stone rounds out the list. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

River Gravel works in beds, borders and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock handles downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work. For bank protection and culvert outlets, RipRap is the heavy broken stone.

Ground and Conditions in Pana

This is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil underneath and almost no natural fall. After a heavy rain, water stands rather than runs.

On the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, that is the normal condition and not a drainage defect you can fix by regrading alone.

So the question for any base is where the water goes. Clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives it somewhere to move.

A fines-bearing material like CA-6 compacts into a hard, tight base, which is what you want under a drive, but it is not a drainage layer.

The soil is deep, dark prairie silt loam, and it erodes as sheet wash off bare ground. Where runoff concentrates, it gullies.

Seeding bare areas and armoring concentrated flow paths with rip rap both help.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.

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