Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Batavia, IL

Illinois Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Batavia, IL to two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives, pads and drainage, and homeowners fixing the same things on a smaller scale.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in that carries a driveway or a parking pad here.

Materials for Batavia Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most Batavia projects start, and CA-6 is the material that does that work. It compacts into a firm surface for drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For topping an existing drive or surfacing a new one, Driveway Gravel gives you a finished wearing course over a compacted base. Crusher Run is the secondary name for the same fines-bearing stone.

Clean washed stone handles water. CA-7 is 1 inch washed stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size sold alongside it for bedding, drainage and concrete flatwork.

Sand and bedding come next. Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines that bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

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

Soil and decorative material round out a project. Top Soil grades lawns and preps beds, and River Gravel covers beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Batavia

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay over dense till. Water sheds off that ground rather than soaking in, and flat lots have little fall to move it along.

Heavy summer downpours and spring snowmelt overwhelm yard grades, so where the water goes matters as much as the surface. A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives water a path instead of a place to sit.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay until it drains.

Long cold winters bring many freeze and thaw cycles, and frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring. Gravel surfaces stay soft until the ground drains.

The frost depth of about 42 inches is the figure northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry in the residential code, and the local building department sets it.
