Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Royalton, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Royalton, IL for contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a drive from scratch, and some are patching one that has gone soft.

Either way, CA-6 is the base material most of that work starts from here. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it sets up hard under a truck.

Materials for Royalton Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Royalton project usually begins. You need a material that binds under weight and holds its shape through a wet spring.

CA-6 is that material. It is the Illinois base course.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage floors, and trench backfill.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Where the ground is already firm, it can carry the whole job on its own.

Clean washed stone handles water rather than traffic. CA-7 is 1 inch washed stone with no fines, used for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean stone that pairs with CA-7 for bedding and drainage. CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch size, for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Sand and soil round out a project. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in Royalton

Start with where the water goes, because in this part of the state it does not go far. Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan subsoil sits close to the surface and stops water moving down.

Winter and spring rain perches on top of it. Ground stays saturated for weeks, and an unbound base pumps under traffic when it does.

That is the argument for a fines-bearing base like CA-6 rather than clean stone under a drive. It is also the argument for a drainage layer where water has nowhere to go.

CA-7 and CA-11 give that water a path.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Where the thin loess is bared, sheet and gully erosion cuts in, and banks scour along the streams of the region.

RipRap armors those edges.

The working season runs longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and base work.

Winters are shorter than in the north, with frequent freeze and thaw swings that work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth is set by the local building department.
