CA-7 and Bulk Aggregates for Ringwood, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ringwood, IL. The base material here is CA-6, also called road base, a dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. On the clay and till ground of this part of McHenry County, that base and the washed stone above it do the work.

Materials for Ringwood Projects

Water is the reason washed stone matters here. Clay and dense till shed water instead of taking it, so French drains, drywells and downspout runs need stone with no fines to clog the voids.

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

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for bedding, drainage and concrete work. CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

At the coarse end, #4 Crushed Stone is large clean stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms. RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Then the fines-bearing materials. CA-6 is the compacted base for drives, pads and trench backfill.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe.

Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in Ringwood

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay over clay-rich till. It sheds water rather than taking it, and flat ground has little fall to move it along.

Heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers. That is where a clean washed layer earns its place: CA-7, CA-11 or CA-16 chips give water somewhere to go instead of sitting against a foundation.

Winters here bring many freeze and thaw cycles. Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

Frost depth is about 42 inches, the figure northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry in the residential code, and the local building department sets it.
