Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Brookfield, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Brookfield, IL. Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in that Illinois yards also call road base.

It is the base for driveways, parking pads and shed floors. The ground here is heavy silt and clay, so the material under your project matters as much as the surface.

Materials for Brookfield Projects

Water is the driver on most Brookfield lots. Lake plain clay and dense till shed water instead of taking it, so drain lines, drywells and downspout runs carry the load.

Washed stone is what those systems are built from. Clean stone has no fines to pack tight, so water moves through the voids and away from your foundation.

Coarse Washed Stone

CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone. Use it under pipe bedding, in drainage trenches and around French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch washed stone that pairs with CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete flatwork.

#4 Crushed Stone is the big clean size. It suits trench bottoms and heavy drainage where flow is high.

Fine Washed Stone and Chips

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and for drainage around tanks and drywells.

Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines Illinois crews call screenings. They bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Base, Sand and Soil

CA-6 is the local base material. Driveways, parking pads, garage floors and trench backfill all start here.

Washed Sand is torpedo sand in Illinois yards, a coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling. Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in Brookfield

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.

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay over dense till. It sheds water rather than absorbing it, and flat lots have little fall to work with.

That is why drainage layers earn their place here. Clean washed stone under a downspout run or in a French drain gives water somewhere to go instead of sitting against a foundation.

Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains. 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.
