Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Bradley, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Bradley, IL to homeowners, contractors and landscapers working in Kankakee County. The ground here is heavy silt and clay over dense till, and it sheds water rather than takes it.

That is why CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material to start with for a drive, a parking pad or a shed floor.

Clay that holds water will not carry a load on its own. CA-6 binds together into a firm, compactable surface that stands up to traffic and spring thaw.

Delivery to Bradley and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.

Pick your delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the material on site.

Bulk delivery covers Bradley and the rest of Kankakee County, including Kankakee, Bourbonnais, Manteno, Momence and Grant Park. For rebuilding a drive, setting a patio base or armoring a ditch, the load arrives in one pile where the truck can reach.

Materials for Bradley Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of Bradley yards start, especially beds, borders and dry creek beds that need to look finished and still move water. Rounded stone is the right choice there, because it sits well and does not pack into a hard crust.

River Gravel is the workhorse for beds and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock handles the heavier decorative work, downspout splash areas and bigger dry creek beds. For walkways and play areas, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives a smooth, walkable surface.

Under the decorative layer you still need a base that will not sink. CA-6 goes down first for drives and pads, and Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

For drainage and concrete work, clean washed stone does the job. CA-7 beds pipe and drainage trenches, and 3/4" Crushed Stone covers the same sizes for flatwork.

Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Bradley

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the soil is heavy silt and clay with dense till underneath. Water runs off that clay instead of soaking in, and flat ground gives it little fall.

An under-built base on this ground pumps, shifts and ruts once the spring thaw arrives.

Frost is the other factor. Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your permit.

Long cold winters with many freeze and thaw cycles lift drives, walks and slabs every spring.

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.

Plan your decorative and base work for that window.
