CA-6 and Bulk Aggregates for Toulon, IL

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Toulon, IL? Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material online and delivers it by the ton.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base, handles most driveways, parking pads and shed bases here.

Toulon sits in Stark County, on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, where deep dark prairie silt loams cover flat to gently rolling ground. Water stands on that ground after heavy rain, so drainage material matters as much as base material on many jobs.

Materials for Toulon Projects

Washed stone does the work on drainage jobs around Toulon: French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. Clean stone has no fines in it, so water moves through the voids instead of pooling on top.

Your choice comes down to size. Coarser clean stone goes at the bottom of a trench, and finer clean stone goes around pipe and under concrete.

For a compacted surface, CA-6 is the Illinois base: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, garage bases and trench backfill.

CA-6 also goes by road base or 3/4 dense grade.

Above a base course, driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive. For a finer, walkable finish on paths and garden walks, walkway gravel is the right size.

Sand and bedding round out drainage and hardscape work. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Where a bank, culvert outlet or pond edge needs armoring. Rounded decorative stone like Natural Pea Gravel and river gravel suits beds, borders and dry creek beds.

For lawns, grading and bed prep, topsoil is dark, silty Illinois prairie soil sold screened. Garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots, and fill dirt raises grade before a base course goes down.

A dump truck tips the material on site in one pile. From there it is your job to move it where it needs to go, so it helps to have the drop area clear before the truck arrives.

Ground and Conditions in Toulon

Plan base, driveway and paver work between the spring thaw and late fall. A wet spring leaves the ground slow to dry, and through winter the ground freezes solid.

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, which is why drainage stone earns its place on so many jobs.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets, and runoff concentrates into gullies where it leaves a field or yard. Riprap and gravel surfacing hold those spots against heavy rain.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth in central and eastern Illinois runs about 36 inches, rising toward the northern edge of the state.

The local building department sets the figure it uses.

Timing a delivery around that season matters. Order when the ground is workable and the drop area is dry enough to take a truck.
