CA-6, the Illinois dense graded base, carries most driveways and pads here. This is loess country, so what sits under the stone matters as much as the stone.

Materials for Rockwood Projects

Start with the base. CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel for a fresh wearing surface, or use Walkway Gravel where a path needs a finer, walkable finish. Crusher Run is the same fines-bearing idea under a secondary name.

Washed stone handles water. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11, sold as 3/4 inch clean stone or sewer stone, beds pipe and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand comes coarse or fine. Torpedo sand, also called concrete sand or washed sand, is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is fine clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

For soil, Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns and grading. Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base goes down.

Decorative stone rounds out a yard. River Gravel fills beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Large River Rock handles downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work.

Ground and Conditions in Rockwood

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, water decides the job. Loess sheds rain and snowmelt fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

Where water has nowhere to run, it disappears into the ground instead of reaching a ditch. That sinkhole country sits in the Monroe and Randolph sinkhole plain, so runoff can concentrate and collapse a soft spot without warning.

Gully and rill erosion cuts loess on steep bluffs and ravines, and cut slopes slump. Put a clean drainage layer where water collects and keep fines out of it, because a fines-bearing stone will not pass water.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Bottomland sites wait out spring high water.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.
