CA-7, Stone and Soil Delivery in Quincy, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Quincy, IL. CA-6, also called road base, is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Quincy sits in Adams County, on the western edge of the state where loess soil covers rolling uplands and steep ravines. That ground shapes what you need under a drive, a pad or a drain line.

Materials for Quincy Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work here. Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling.

That matters for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, where the stone is the path water takes away from a foundation.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-7 is the coarse end of the washed sizes.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

Order it as 3/4" Crushed Stone.

CA-16 chips are small 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

See CA-16 Chips.

For heavier drainage, #4 crushed stone is large clean stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

#4 Crushed Stone suits culvert outlets and deep trench work.

Below the washed sizes, CA-6 is the base course that carries a load. It compacts because the fines are still in it.

CA-6 goes under drives, pads and garage slabs.

For finish surfaces, lime screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and backfill around pipe. Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois.

Ground and Conditions in Quincy

Work in this part of Illinois runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Timing a delivery around that window keeps a site workable.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. On a sloped drive, that means runoff arrives quickly and needs somewhere to go.

Gully and rill erosion in loess on steep bluffs and ravines is the pattern to plan around. A drainage layer of clean stone, or a riprap edge at a concentrated outlet, gives water a controlled path.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring in this region. The local building department sets the frost depth, and footing depth follows that figure, not a number chosen on site.
