Fill and Base Material Delivered in Clarendon Hills, IL

Illinois Rock Supply provides gravel and aggregate delivery in Clarendon Hills, IL. If your grade is low and your pad has to come up before anything gets built on it, CA-6 is the base material to start with.

The heavy silt and clay under this part of the Chicago lake plain shed water instead of taking it, so what sits under a slab or drive matters as much as what sits on top.

Materials for Clarendon Hills Projects

Raising grade is where most of these jobs start. A low backyard, a garage pad that needs to come up, or a building pad sitting below the surrounding lawn all begin with fill dirt.

Fill Dirt builds the height, then CA-6 goes over it as the compacted sub-base that carries the load. That order matters on clay ground.

Driveways and parking pads

For a new drive or a parking pad, CA-6 is the base course. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it firms up under a vehicle.

If you are surfacing an existing drive or topping a base already in place, Driveway Gravel is the layer that takes the traffic.

Patios, pavers and walkways

Pavers and flagstone bed on Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois crews use as the bedding layer. For paths and garden walks, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface.

Under a permeable paver system, CA-16 Chips work as the small washed bedding stone.

Drainage and clean stone

Washed stone with no fines lets water move. CA-7 beds pipe and lines drainage trenches, and CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it.

For footing drains, drywells and downspout runs, Drain Rock is the washed stone to order.

Sand, soil and bed material

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Top Soil covers lawns and bed prep, Garden Soil fills raised beds, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Clarendon Hills

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground runs to heavy silt and clay. Water sheds off that rather than soaking in, and flat ground gives it little fall.

An under-built base on clay moves when it stays wet, which is why fill and sub-base get the attention on these projects.

Summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in the older built-up areas. A clean drainage layer of CA-7 or CA-11 gives that water somewhere to go.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

Questions About Base and Fill in Clarendon Hills

What is the best base under pavers in Clarendon Hills?

CA-6 is the compacted sub-base, and Lime Screenings are the bedding layer the pavers sit in. The screenings are crushed limestone fines, the standard bedding material in Illinois.

On the clay ground across this part of the state, that sub-base is what keeps the surface from shifting when it stays wet.
