Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Staunton, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Staunton, IL, with CA-6 road base as the workhorse of the lineup. You order online by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips the load at your site.

Staunton sits in Macoupin County, where the ground runs to tight claypan subsoil under a thin layer of loess. That ground shapes which materials hold up and which ones fight you.

Materials for Staunton Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. If you are building up a low spot, cutting a new bed or leveling around a new garage, the soil and fill come first and the base course goes on top of them.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas where you want workable ground rather than raw subsoil.

Fill Dirt raises grade in bulk before anything else goes down. It is the material for bringing a low corner up to level, and it goes in before a CA-6 base course.

For the base itself, CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Washed stone handles water and bedding. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

Sand covers concrete and mortar. Washed Sand is coarse torpedo sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Decorative stone finishes beds and borders. River Gravel is rounded washed gravel for beds, borders and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock handles downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work.

Ground and Conditions in Staunton

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, and the ground stays saturated for weeks.

That matters most for unbound base. When saturated ground takes traffic, a base without enough fines can pump and lose its shape.

CA-6 holds together in those conditions because the fines bind the crushed limestone into a tight, compactable layer.

Where water needs to move rather than sit, the clean washed stone does the work. CA-7, CA-11 and CA-16 chips have no fines, so water passes through them into a drain, a drywell or a trench.

Use them for bedding under pipe, French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Erosion shows up where the thin loess is bared, and bank scour follows heavy rain. RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

The working season here is 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.

What stone should I use for drainage in Staunton?

Use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch options for French drains, foundation drains and bedding under pipe, and CA-16 chips suit tighter bedding and drainage around tanks.

Fines-bearing CA-6 is a base material, not a drainage stone, so keep it out of a drain.
