CA-16 Chips, Stone and Soil Delivery in Urbana, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Urbana, IL, and the ground here shapes what you order. Deep, dark prairie silt loam sits over dense clay, so water stands instead of running.

That is why CA-6, the local dense graded crushed limestone, is the base material for drives and pads around Urbana.

Materials for Urbana Projects

Washed stone does the work that fines-bearing material cannot. Clean stone has no fines left in it, so water moves through the voids instead of pooling.

In Urbana, where the clay subsoil holds water, that difference decides whether a drain actually drains.

French drains, drywells and downspout runs all start with clean stone.

3/4" Crushed Stone is CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that pairs with CA-7 for bedding and concrete flatwork. CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips, for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

At the other end, CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It compacts into a firm base for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For bedding pavers and flagstone, Lime Screenings give you the fines that lock a bedding layer together. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Ground and Conditions in Urbana

Base, driveway and paver work on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material itself.

Underneath, this is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil and almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, which is why so much farmland here is tile drained.

For a driveway or pad, that means the base course has to shed water rather than trap it. A compacted CA-6 base over fill dirt gives you a surface that holds up through the freeze and thaw cycles each spring brings.

Bare silt loam also washes. Sheet erosion off exposed ground and gullying where runoff concentrates are common, so stabilizing disturbed areas with stone or topsoil limits how much soil moves.
