CA-7, Stone and Soil Delivery in Peoria Heights, IL

If you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Peoria Heights, IL, the first question is usually which washed stone handles water. Illinois Rock Supply delivers CA-6 and clean stone by the ton, and the answer starts with what the water is doing.

The ground here sits on the Grand Prairie till plain, where clay subsoil holds water and there is almost no natural fall. That shapes what you order for a drain, a pad or a drive.

Materials for Peoria Heights Projects

Drainage work drives the material list before anything else. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need stone that is washed clean, because fines in the stone stop water from moving through it.

CA-7 is the 1 inch clean washed stone most often specified for bedding under pipe and for drainage trenches. Water passes straight through it and the pipe stays supported.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that Illinois yards sell alongside CA-7. Use it for the same drainage and concrete work when a smaller stone suits the trench.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips, small enough for permeable paver bedding and for drainage around tanks. They also top a compacted base.

When the job needs a hard surface rather than a drain, CA-6 is the Illinois base material. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it builds driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.

Around the edges of that work, lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Ground and Conditions in Peoria Heights

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

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat with dense clay subsoil beneath it. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, which is why drainage stone earns its place on so many jobs.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Bare silt loam also washes in sheets where runoff concentrates.

That combination points to washed stone for anything draining, and to CA-6 where you need a compacted base under a drive or pad. Get the water moving first, then build the surface over it.
