Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Villa Grove, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Villa Grove, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners patching a lane or topping a garden bed.

That mix keeps CA-6 on the top of the list. It is the Illinois base material, dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is where most drive and pad work here begins.

Materials for Villa Grove Projects

The base and driveway side of the yard is where a project gets its structure. CA-6 carries the load, and Driveway Gravel resurfaces a drive that is already shaped and compacted.

If a spec sheet calls for a crushed stone base with the fines left in, the material is still CA-6. The secondary name for that product is Crusher Run, and it is the same idea under a different label.

Washed stone is the other half of the work. It has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting in it.

CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone is CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that pairs with CA-7 for bedding and concrete work. Below that, CA-16 chips bed permeable pavers and top a compacted base.

Sand and soil cover the finishing end of a job. Washed Sand is torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand used for concrete and leveling.

Lime screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards sell for paver and flagstone bedding, sit under a patio the same way Lime Screenings sit under a walk. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Villa Grove

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, this is some of the flattest ground in the country. Beneath it sits dense clay subsoil, and there is almost no natural fall for water to follow.

So water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, and much of the farmland around here is tile drained for that reason. A drive or a pad has to answer the same problem.

That is where the washed stone earns its place. CA-7 and CA-11 give water somewhere to go under a slab edge, a downspout run or a trench, instead of letting it pool against the fines in a base course.

Bare silt loam also sheets off in a hard rain, and runoff concentrates into gullies where it is channeled. Steam bank scour shows up after storms on the rivers that cross this part of the state.

Timing matters as much as material. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, because the ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring.

Frost depth in Illinois runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, rising toward the northern edge of the state, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your job.
