CA-11 Delivery for Roanoke, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Roanoke, IL, and the ground here shapes what you order. Deep, dark prairie silt loam sits over dense clay till across this part of Woodford County, and that clay holds water instead of letting it go.

That is why CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, does so much work around here as a base course. Build the pad or the drive on fill first, then cap it with CA-6.

Delivery to Roanoke and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick your material, and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout, and you pick your delivery date there.

A dump truck arrives and tips the load in one pile at the site. That is the whole of it: no placing, no spreading, no splitting between piles.

Illinois Rock Supply delivers across Roanoke and the rest of Woodford County, including Eureka, Metamora, El Paso, Minonk and Washburn. Bulk loads go to driveways, building pads, trench lines and garden beds.

Materials for Roanoke Projects

Most building in this county starts with grade. A new shed, garage or shop pad usually needs the ground raised before anything else happens, and that is a fill job before it is a stone job.

Fill Dirt is the bulk material for raising grade and building up a pad. It goes down first, and the base course goes on top of it.

Once the grade is where you want it, CA-6 is the base course that caps it. Dense graded limestone with the fines left in, it knocks down into a tight surface for driveways, parking pads and garage floors.

For a driveway, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. For a patio or walk, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, more walkable finish.

Drainage is the other half of the job here. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, and it beds pipe, fills drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold locally as CA-11, does the same work at the same size.

Ground and Conditions in Roanoke

This is some of the flattest ground in the country, and the clay subsoil beneath the silt loam has almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, that means an under-built base is the usual weak point. A pad that was never raised sits in the water instead of above it.

So the order matters: fill to bring grade up, then CA-6 to cap it, then a clean stone layer where water needs somewhere to go. Rounded gravel will not do that job, and fines-bearing material will not drain.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives and shallow slabs each spring.

Questions from Roanoke Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Roanoke?

Lime Screenings, sold as limestone screenings, are the standard bedding layer under pavers and flagstone in Illinois. Below that, the base course is CA-6, dense graded limestone that knocks down tight.

Where the subgrade is soft or the grade needs raising, fill dirt goes in first so the base sits above the water rather than in it.
