Materials delivered in Whiteside County
Article 1004.01 sets the coarse gradations CA 1 through CA 20, and Article 1005.01 sets riprap as RR 3 through RR 7.
CA-6 is the base material for this state. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knits into a firm surface for a drive, a pad or a garage floor base.
It also backfills trenches where you want the material to tighten up.
Ground conditions across Whiteside County
The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little shorter than downstate. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material itself.
Across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, tight till and a high water table sit on the flat ground while sand plains drain almost too fast. Snowmelt and spring rain on frozen ground push water across the surface.
That split changes what you put down. Ground that holds water wants a clean washed stone layer to move it, while fast-draining sand ground holds a compacted base well.
Gully and sheet erosion work the steeper till slopes and bluffs in this part of the state, and wind moves the bare sand of the Green River Lowland. Riprap armors banks and culvert outlets where water scours.
Winters here bring repeated freeze and thaw and heavy frost action in unbound base and shallow footings. Frost depth is about 42 inches across the northern counties, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your job.
Choosing the right material
Carroll County is the only corner of Illinois the Wisconsin Episode ice never covered, so its ground is deep wind-blown loess over dolomite and limestone. Thin soil on the ridges and steep valley sides put rock close to the surface there.
That difference shows up in drainage. On shallow loess over rock, water has little soil to move through before it hits stone, so a clean washed layer such as CA-7 or CA-11 handles it.
Whiteside ground is deeper till and prairie soil over dolomite.
Henry County and Bureau County share the ground region Whiteside sits in, so the base and drainage choices are the same ones. Wisconsin Episode till and loamy prairie soils over dolomite, broken by Green River Lowland sand and gravel.
