Fill Dirt Delivery for Bensenville, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Bensenville, IL, and CA-6 is the base material most local work is built on. CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Bensenville sits in DuPage County on ground that holds water. Heavy silt and clay shed rain rather than take it, so what goes under a drive or pad matters as much as what shows on top.

Materials for Bensenville Projects

Raising grade and building a pad starts with fill. Fill Dirt brings a low or uneven spot up to level before anything structural goes over it, which is the usual first move on a garage pad or an addition.

Once grade is set, the base course takes the load. CA-6 is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For a driveway, CA-6 goes down as the base and Driveway Gravel surfaces it. For a patio or walk, Lime Screenings bed the pavers and flagstone, and Torpedo Sand levels and beds where a coarse washed sand is called for.

For drainage, use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7 beds pipe, drainage trenches and French drains, and CA-11 does the same work at 3/4 inch.

CA-16 Chips bed permeable pavers and drain around tanks.

Ground and Conditions in Bensenville

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground runs to heavy silt and clay with dense till inland. That soil sheds water instead of absorbing it, and the ground here is flat enough that it has little fall.

Put a base on clay without accounting for that and the water sits under it. A fines-bearing material such as CA-6 compacts into a firm base, while a clean washed stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 lets water pass through instead.

Erosion shows up as sheet wash off bare clay lots and as stream bank scour after heavy rain. Covering bare ground and grading water away from a pad both limit how much soil moves.

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.

Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code, and the local building department sets it.
