Buy CA-11 in Smithshire, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Smithshire, IL to drives, pads, trenches and beds. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds on, leads the list.

Deep loess covers the rolling uplands around Warren County, and that silty ground shifts with every freeze and thaw. The right base and the right washed stone make the difference on a site like that.

Materials for Smithshire Projects

CA-6 is the base material here. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm surface for a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base or a garage pad.

Order it by the ton from the CA-6 road base page.

For the wearing surface on top, driveway gravel refreshes an existing drive or caps a compacted base. Paths and garden walks that need a finer, walkable finish take walkway gravel.

Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting. Use CA-7 or CA-11 for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

Order CA-7 or CA-11.

Smaller sizes handle tighter work. CA-16 chips bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

Lime screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards sell, bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

• Torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand here, mixes concrete and levels a base.
• Mason sand is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.
• Topsoil and garden soil build lawns, raised beds and planting areas.
• Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock handle walkways, beds and dry creek beds.

Riprap armors a bank, a culvert outlet or a pond edge. Fill dirt raises grade before a CA-6 course goes down, and shredded mulch holds moisture in beds through the summer.

Ground and Conditions in Smithshire

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, water is the driver. Loess sheds rain and snowmelt fast on a slope and holds it in the flats, so the same storm behaves differently a quarter mile apart.

That matters for what you order. A clean washed stone like CA-7 gives water a path out of a trench or a drain field, while CA-6 with its fines locks together into a base that carries a truck.

Erosion follows the water. On steep bluffs and ravines in this part of the state, runoff cuts gullies and rills into the loess, and cut slopes slump when they stay wet.

Riprap at an outlet or along a bank slows that down.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Low ground waits out spring high water, so sequence the wet sites later.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. Any footing depth comes from the local building department in Smithshire or Warren County, so check with them before you pour.
