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

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Virginia, IL, and the ground here asks you to think about base before anything else. Across the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, the soil is wind-blown and river-laid sand that takes water fast and holds almost none.

That changes what you put down. CA-6, this market's road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines still in it, and it goes under drives, parking pads and shed floors where you want a surface that knits together instead of washing apart.

Materials for Virginia Projects

Water is the thing to plan around on sandy ground, so washed stone for drainage earns its place early. Clean stone has no fines to pack and hold water, which is what a French drain, drywell or downspout run needs to keep moving water away from a foundation.

Drainage stone

CA-7 is 1 inch washed clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains. 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards pair with CA-7 for the same work.

Where a run has to move a lot of water fast, #4 Crushed Stone gives you the largest clean size, and Drain Rock covers drywells and foundation drains.

Base and bedding

CA-6 is the base material for driveways, parking pads and trench backfill on this ground. CA-16 Chips are small 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and topping a compacted base, and Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

Sand, soil and decorative stone

Washed Sand is the coarse torpedo sand used for concrete and leveling, while Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and play areas. Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns, grading and raised beds.

For beds and borders, River Gravel and Large River Rock handle decorative work and downspout splash areas, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a summer.

Ground and Conditions in Virginia

The working season here starts on the ground itself. Sandy ground dries and works early in the spring, and work runs into late fall, so grading and base work fit a longer window than they would on heavier soil.

River bottoms are the exception. Low ground along the Illinois floods when the river comes up, and those areas stay off limits during high water, which is worth planning around when you set a delivery date.

The sand drains well, so the problem is usually a base that washes and settles rather than one that stays wet. Wind moves bare sand, and water running across a loose sandy drive ruts it, so a fines-bearing base like CA-6 that knits together matters more here than a free-draining surface.

Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, though open sand heaves less than the clay ground on the uplands either side. Frost depth is set by the local building department, so check with them before footing work.

Questions About Gravel in Virginia

You order online by the ton or by the yard, size the load with the calculator on the product page, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the material on site.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Virginia?

CA-6 is the base material for a driveway here, because the fines left in the crushed limestone help it knit together on sandy ground that would otherwise wash and settle. CA-11 or 3/4" Crushed Stone can surface an existing drive or top a compacted base.

The right pick depends on whether you are building up from bare ground or refreshing a drive that is already in place.
