Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in Waltonville, IL

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Waltonville, IL, the first question is usually which stone to put where. Illinois Rock Supply answers it with washed stone first, because downspout runs and drainage trenches here need stone that sheds water instead of holding it.

CA-6, also called road base, handles the driveways and pads. Everything else sorts by size and by what you are draining.

Materials for Waltonville Projects

Washed stone is stone with the fines rinsed out, so water moves through the voids instead of sitting in the pile. That makes it the right call for French drains, drywells and downspout runs where the whole point is getting water away from the house.

Start with the coarse end. Drain Rock is clean washed stone for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs, and it is what goes in the trench itself.

CA-7 is the Illinois number for 1 inch clean stone, sold here as CA-7. It beds pipe and backfills drainage trenches, and it carries no fines to clog the voids.

CA-11, sold as 3/4" Crushed Stone, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

At the fine end of the washed family, CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips. CA-16 Chips bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

Then come the materials that hold together rather than drain. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Fines work the other way on bedding. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and torch the gaps around pipe.

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Waltonville

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the season runs longer at both ends than it does upstate. A wet winter and spring still keep sites soft well into April, so late summer and fall are the reliable windows for a delivery you want to work the same week.

The ground itself is the reason drainage gets planned before anything else. Claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down, so winter and spring rain perches on top of it and the ground stays saturated for weeks.

Unbound base under traffic in that condition pumps, which is why a clean washed layer under and around a wet area does more than a thicker fines-bearing one. Bank scour and gully erosion show up where the thin loess is bared.

Winters are shorter than upstate but swing often between freeze and thaw, and that cycling works on saturated clay. Footing depth is set locally at about 30 to 36 inches for the Southern till plain and claypan country; base work follows the same shallow, wet ground.
