Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Sublette, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Sublette, IL. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material this part of Lee County builds on.

The working season here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, so most base and driveway work fits between those two points.

Materials for Sublette Projects

CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It goes down as a compacted base for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage floors, and trench backfill.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and French drains, and sits under concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same bedding and drainage work.

CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch chips. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks, and top a compacted base.

Lime screenings, the crushed limestone fines, are the standard bedding layer under pavers and flagstone in Illinois.

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason sand is finer and cleaner, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Topsoil here is dark and silty prairie soil, sold screened for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots, and fill dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Sublette

Across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, the ground is loamy prairie soil over dolomite, with sand and gravel running through the Green River Lowland nearby. Tight till holds water on the flat ground.

Snowmelt and spring rain on frozen ground push water across the surface instead of into it. A base that sits in standing water breaks down, so drainage matters as much as the stone itself.

Where the ground is sandy, it drains almost too fast and the base can shift under a load. Erosion shows up as gullies and sheet wash on steeper slopes in this part of the state.

Winters here bring repeated freeze and thaw and heavy frost action in unbound base and shallow footings. Frost depth runs about 42 inches across the northern counties, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your footing.
