CA-7 and Bulk Aggregates for Sadorus, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Sadorus, IL. CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds on.

Sadorus sits on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, where deep prairie silt loams over dense clay subsoil leave water with almost nowhere to run.

Materials for Sadorus Projects

Standing water is the practical problem on this ground. Clean washed stone is what moves it, because the washed sizes carry no fines to hold moisture in the void space.

CA-7, also called #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, is washed clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11, also called 3/4 inch clean stone or sewer stone, is the smaller washed stone sold alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

For a drywell or a downspout run, Drain Rock is clean washed stone that lets water pass instead of ponding against the foundation. Contractors here specify it as CA-7 or CA-11 by number.

CA-16 chips, also called 3/8 inch limestone chips, are small chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Where a compacted base is the goal rather than drainage, CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Ground and Conditions in Sadorus

Base, driveway and paver work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the land is flat with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

That is why drainage stone matters as much as base stone on this ground. A clean washed layer gives water somewhere to go when the clay will not take it.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth figures are set by the local building department.

Erosion follows the same pattern: sheet erosion off bare silt loam, and gullying where yard runoff concentrates.
