Order CA-6 and Crushed Stone in Wayne County, IL
Illinois Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Wayne County, IL, and most of it starts with CA-6. Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the tight subsoil sits close to the surface and holds water instead of letting it drain.
That changes what a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base needs underneath it. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the Illinois base material for exactly this ground.
Delivery across Wayne County
You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout, and you choose a delivery date there.
A dump truck arrives and tips the load in one pile on site. That is the whole delivery.
Bulk loads go to Fairfield, Wayne City, Barnhill, Cisne, Sims, Mount Erie, Golden Gate, Keenes, Johnsonville, Ellery, Geff and Rinard.
For a long drive or a large pad, ordering the full quantity at once keeps the material consistent from one end to the other.
Materials delivered in Wayne County
Start with the project. A driveway, a patio, a drain and a garden bed each want a different material, and the local name for it is how you order.
CA-6 carries the most weight in this county.
For clean stone. CA-7 and CA-11 cover the 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed sizes for bedding and drainage, and CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch stone for paver bedding and drainage around tanks.
Sand comes two ways. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.
Ground conditions across Wayne County
The claypan subsoil here sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, and the ground stays saturated for weeks.
That saturated ground is what pumps under traffic when a base is under-built. A drive on this ground needs a base course that can carry load while the soil beneath it is soft.
Erosion follows the same pattern. Where the thin loess is bared, sheet and gully erosion cuts in, and banks scour along the watercourses in this part of the state.
Riprap and clean stone armor those edges.
Winters are shorter than upstate, but freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets it.
Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for a delivery. A wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April.
Choosing the right material
Marion County, Jefferson County and Richland County all share the same ground region as Wayne County. The loess sits over old, weathered Illinoian drift, and the claypan keeps the ground tight and slow.
There is no difference in the ground itself, so there is no difference in what the base course has to do. CA-6 is the base choice in all four counties for the same reason.
What changes is the project. A driveway takes CA-6 with driveway gravel over it.
A patio takes lime screenings as the bedding layer. A drain takes CA-7 or CA-11, clean stone that lets water through instead of holding it.
