CA-6, Stone and Soil Delivery in Roxana, IL

If you are sorting out gravel and aggregate delivery in Roxana, IL, the first question is usually which stone handles the water. Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, and CA-6, also called road base, is where most drive and pad work starts.

This part of Madison County sits on deep loess over older drift. That ground sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so drainage stone matters as much as base stone.

Materials for Roxana Projects

Water is the job here. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need washed stone with no fines, because fines clog the voids that let water move.

Start with the clean stone. CA-7 is washed 1 inch stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.

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

For tighter bedding, CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Below the clean stone you need something that compacts. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Round out a project with Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, or Top Soil for lawns and bed prep.

A dump truck tips the material on site in one pile. Plan where that pile lands before the truck arrives, since the driver does not place or spread it.

Ground and Conditions in Roxana

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. That is a little longer than upstate, so timing a delivery around frozen ground is worth planning.

The loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. On a sloped drive that means runoff crosses the surface, and on flat ground it sits.

Clean stone is what carries that water away.

Gully and rill erosion in loess is common on steep ground. RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where concentrated runoff cuts in.

Winters here bring freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. Frost depth in this region runs about 36 to 40 inches, and the local building department sets the figure it uses.
