Bulk Gravel Delivery to Waverly, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Waverly, IL for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives, pads and flatwork, and homeowners patching a walk or bedding a patio. Both need material that behaves the same way once it is down.

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base, is the starting point for most of that work. It carries the fines that let it tighten up under a load.

Ground and Conditions in Waverly

Waverly sits in Morgan County, in the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border country. Loess is wind-laid silt, and it sheds water fast on a slope while holding it in the flats.

That split shows up as a thin base failing early. Water reaches the subgrade, the silt softens, and a paver or a slab edge drops out of line within a season or two.

The fix is a base course that keeps water out of the silt and still locks together. CA-6 does both jobs because the fines fill the voids between the crushed particles.

Work in this region runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.

Any footing depth is set by the local building department, not by the yard.

Materials for Waverly Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice decides how the finished surface looks in three years. Get the layer under the stone right and the joints stay tight.

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. The crushed limestone fines screed to a flat plane, so a paver sits even and a flagstone does not rock.

CA-6 goes under that bedding as the structural course for drives, parking pads, shed floors and garage slabs.

Where water has to move rather than sit, use clean washed stone. CA-7 is the 1 inch clean stone for drainage trenches, French drains and bedding under pipe.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold here as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean stone for the same work at a smaller size.

For a finer surface, CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips. They bed permeable pavers and top a compacted base without the coarser bite of CA-7.

Sand and soil round out a project. Washed Sand, called torpedo sand locally, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Top Soil covers grading and lawn prep once the hard surfaces are in.

Questions About Gravel and Aggregate in Waverly

What gravel is best for a driveway in Waverly?

CA-6 is the base material for a driveway here. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm surface that sheds water instead of letting it reach the silt below.

A clean stone like CA-7 has no fines and will not tighten up the same way, so it belongs in drainage, not as a drive surface.

How much material will my project need?

Quantity depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. Order by the ton or by the yard, and use the calculator on the product page to size the load from your own measurements.

If you are unsure which figure to start from, the calculator is the place to check before you place the order.
