Materials delivered in Schuyler County
CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.
Use CA-6 for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. It packs into a firm, tight surface because the fines bind the stone together.
Clean washed stone has no fines and drains freely. CA-7 is the one inch washed stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.
3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA 11 size Illinois yards sell alongside it for the same work.
CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.
Sand and soil round out the load. Washed Sand, torpedo sand locally, goes into concrete and leveling.
Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Ground conditions across Schuyler County
Schuyler County spans two ground regions, and the material choice follows the ground. On the loess uplands and the Mississippi border, deep wind-deposited silt over older drift sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.
That is why a thin base shows ruts and soft spots first. The fix is a thicker compacted CA-6 course over firm fill, not a skim coat.
In the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, wind-blown and river-laid sand drains quickly and holds almost nothing. A base there washes and settles rather than staying wet, so drainage stone and edge control matter.
Loess ground erodes in gullies and rills on steep bluffs, and banks scour along the big rivers. Rip rap armors slopes, culvert outlets and pond edges against that movement.
Frost heaves drives and walks each spring on both ground types. The frost depth in this part of the state runs about 36 to 40 inches, and the local building department sets the figure it uses.
Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Bottomland sites wait out spring high water, and the sandy ground dries early.
Choosing the right material
Adams, Fulton and McDonough counties sit in the same region and share Schuyler County's ground: loess uplands, dissected bluffs and ravines along the rivers, with sandy terraces in the valleys. The base and drainage choices carry across those lines unchanged.
Match the material to the job. Dense graded CA-6 is a compacted base for drives, pads and backfill.
CA-7 and 3/4 inch clean stone are drainage and bedding stone.
Lime screenings bed pavers. Rip rap protects banks and outlets.
Torpedo sand and mason sand serve concrete and mortar, and topsoil and garden soil feed lawns and beds.
