Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Vermilion County, IL to driveways, pads, drainage trenches and garden beds. The base material here is CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Materials Delivered in Vermilion County
CA-6 is the Illinois base material. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.
Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.
Clean washed stone handles water. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 1 inch and 3/4 inch washed sizes for bedding under pipe, French drains and concrete flatwork, with no fines to hold water back.
Sand and soil finish the job. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and bedding, mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints, and screened topsoil is the dark, silty Illinois prairie soil for lawns and bed prep.
Choosing the Right Material
Champaign County, Iroquois County and Douglas County all share the Grand Prairie till plain ground of central and eastern Illinois that Vermilion County sits on. The soil, the clay subsoil and the flat fall of the land are the same in each.
Your material choices follow from that ground, not from the county line.
That ground tells you two things about material. Fines-bearing stone like CA-6 gives you a base that ties together for a drive or a pad.
Washed stone like CA-7 and CA-11 gives you a path for water where the clay subsoil will not take it.
Match the stone to the job. CA-6 for surfaces that carry weight, CA-7 or CA-11 for drainage and bedding, CA-16 chips where a finer clean layer is needed, and lime screenings under pavers.
Ground Conditions Across Vermilion County
Rain, snowmelt and heavy storms all arrive on ground with almost no natural fall, and the dense clay subsoil beneath the silt loam will not absorb water quickly. Water stands rather than runs.
That is why so much of the farmland across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois is tile drained.
Plan the drainage layer before the surface layer. A washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives standing water somewhere to go under a driveway, a downspout run or a foundation drain.
Sheet erosion moves bare silt loam, and gullying starts where runoff concentrates. Riprap armors the places where water leaves a slope or a culvert outlet.
On the regional plain, stream bank scour is a real driver of that kind of work.
Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.
Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring, and frost depth is set locally by the building department.
