Materials Delivered in St. Clair County
CA-6 is the Illinois base material.
Fines stay in the mix, so it knits together under a driveway, a parking pad, a shed or garage base and trench backfill. Order it as CA-6.
Washed stone carries no fines, so it stays open and drains.
Use them for pipe bedding, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

Ground Conditions Across St. Clair County
In this part of the state the ground is deep loess over older Illinoian drift. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.
A thin base on ground like that rutts and potholes after a wet spring.
The fix is a base course that does not quit. CA-6 with the fines left in binds under traffic.
Where water still stands, put clean stone underneath so it has somewhere to go.
Gully and rill erosion cut into loess on steep ground, and cut slopes slump where water collects. Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that.
Use it wherever concentrated runoff hits bare soil.
Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.
The local building department sets footing depth for structures.
Choosing the Right Material
Washington County and Clinton County sit on southern till plain and claypan country: loess over old, weathered Illinoian drift with a tight claypan subsoil and flat to gently rolling relief. That claypan is the difference from St.
Clair County ground.
Where the subsoil holds water instead of shedding it, drainage matters more than it does on loess slopes. A clean stone layer under a compacted base carries that water away.
Randolph County shares St. Clair County's ground region: deep loess over older Illinoian drift, with dissected bluffs and limestone sinkhole karst.
The ground is the same, so the material choice is the same.
