Rip Rap and Bulk Aggregates for Burbank, IL

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Burbank, IL, start with what the ground does. Clay and silt shed water instead of taking it, and flat lots have little fall.

Illinois Rock Supply delivers rip rap, CA-6 and washed stone to Burbank and Cook County.

Order online, size the load by the ton or yard, and a dump truck tips it on site.

Materials for Burbank Projects

Water that cannot soak in has to go somewhere. On slopes, swales and banks, the answer is coarse stone that stays put and lets flow pass.

Rip rap handles the heavy work. Smaller clean stone handles the trench and bedding work around it.

RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Use it where moving water hits bare soil.

#4 Crushed Stone is the large clean stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

It is also called 1 1/2 inch clean stone.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. Illinois yards also call it #57 stone, 1 inch clean stone or binder stone.

It beds pipe, fills drainage trenches and sits under French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone is CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work. Illinois yards also call it sewer stone.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips. Use them for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

When a soft spot needs a solid surface instead of drainage, switch to a fines-bearing base. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. Chicago area yards also call it grade 8, grade 9, road mix or road rock.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile. Burbank sits in Cook County, and delivery reaches the surrounding area, including Chicago, Cicero, Schaumburg, Evanston and Arlington Heights.

Ground and Conditions in Burbank

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.

Time a delivery around that window. Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, clay and dense till shed water rather than take it.

Flat ground has little fall, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in older built-up areas. That is why slope and swale work starts with coarse stone and clean washed stone in the trenches.

Sheet wash off bare clay lots is the other problem, and rip rap answers it at the bank.

Questions Burbank Buyers Ask

What stone should I use for drainage in Burbank?

Use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7 and CA-11 handle pipe bedding, French drains and drainage trenches.

CA-16 Chips suit tighter bedding and drainage around tanks. For bank and swale protection where water moves fast, use RipRap.

Fines-bearing stone like CA-6 is a compacted base, not a drainage layer.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Pick a delivery date at checkout and have the drop spot clear. The truck tips the load in one pile, so leave room for it and keep the path to that spot open.

Order your quantity by the ton or yard, and use the calculator on each product page if you need to size it before you order.
