Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Bradford, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Bradford, IL by the ton or the yard. Illinois Rock Supply delivers CA-6, washed stone, sand and soil to Stark County sites.

CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone this market builds drives and pads on. The same material goes by road base elsewhere.

Materials for Bradford Projects

Start with the ground under the work. Grading and bed prep come first, and that is soil work.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty. Spread it for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Garden Soil is a blended mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas. It holds moisture through a dry summer.

Fill Dirt raises grade before a base course goes down. Use it to bring a low spot up to level.

Once grade is set, the base goes on. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It compacts into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

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

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that pairs with CA-7 for bedding and concrete work.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines. They bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand and decorative stone round out a project. Washed Sand, or torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and fence post mix. River Gravel and Large River Rock finish beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Bradford

Water decides how a base performs here. Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall.

Rain and snowmelt stand rather than run. A drive or pad that sheds nothing sits in that water until it soaks away or evaporates.

That is why a clean washed stone matters on drainage work. CA-7 and CA-11 let water move through the void space instead of trapping it.

CA-6, with its fines, is for building a surface, not for moving water.

Bare silt loam also erodes. Sheet erosion strips it off open ground, and runoff concentrates into gullies where field and yard water gathers.

Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where that flow hits.

Timing matters as much as material. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall.

The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring across this part of the state.

Frost depth runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, rising toward the northern edge, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to footings.

Questions About Ordering in Bradford

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Bradford?

Yes. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and the truck delivers to your site in Bradford.

Choose the amount you need, pick a delivery date at checkout, and the load arrives as one tipped pile. Each product page has a calculator to help size the order.

What stone should I use for drainage in Bradford?

Use clean washed stone. CA-7, sold as 1 inch clean stone, and CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone, both drain because they carry no fines.

Use them for French drains, bedding under pipe and foundation drains. CA-6 has fines and compacts into a surface, so it belongs under drives and pads, not in a drainage trench.
