CA-6 is the base material this part of Illinois builds on, and it is the load most drive and pad jobs start from. The ground along the Mississippi border decides what else you need.

Materials for Valmeyer Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with coarse stone. Water off the bluffs and the steep ravines needs somewhere to go, and the stone you place decides whether it stays put.

RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

#4 Crushed Stone is the large clean stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms. It is open enough to pass water instead of holding it.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains. Pair it with 3/4" Crushed Stone, the CA-11 size Illinois yards sell alongside it for the same work.

Down at the fine end, CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

A dump truck tips the load on your site in one pile.

Have the pile spot clear before the truck arrives. Bulk loads come off the bed where the vehicle can reach, so a driveway or a firm approach works better than soft ground.

Ground and Conditions in Valmeyer

Work around here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Bottomland sites wait out spring high water on the Mississippi and Illinois.

That window shapes when you schedule a delivery. Order early enough in the season that the ground is ready for the load.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. The bottomlands behind the levees drain slowly, and in the sinkhole country water disappears into the ground instead of running to a ditch.

On steep bluffs and in ravines, loess gully and rill erosion is the real driver. Slumping on cut slopes and bank scour along the big rivers follow the same pattern.

Read your site for where water actually goes before you order. Coarse stone at the outlet and a compacted CA-6 base on the flat ground handle most of it.

Cold winters bring freeze and thaw, and frost lifts drives and walks each spring. Frost depth figures are set by the local building department where one applies.
