CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone this market builds drives and pads from. Around Wataga the ground is deep loess over older drift, so water moves fast on slopes and sits in the flats.

Materials for Wataga Projects

Slope, swale and bank work around Wataga starts with coarse stone. Heavy broken rock holds a bank in place, and clean washed stone moves water away from a foundation or a low spot.

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

#4 Crushed Stone is large clean stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, 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 sell alongside CA-7 for the same work.

CA-16 Chips are small 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer for pavers and flagstone in Illinois.

Finer material finishes the work. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads and trench backfill.

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

Ground and Conditions in Wataga

Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. That window shapes when you time a delivery, especially on a site that stays wet.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. Gullies and rills cut into loess on steep ground, and cut slopes slump.

That is why coarse stone earns its place on a Wataga slope or swale. Clean washed stone gives water somewhere to go instead of letting it run over bare ground.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. Frost depth is about 36 to 40 inches, and the local building department sets it.
