Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Compton, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Compton, IL, with CA-6 leading the load list. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads and shed bases on the loamy prairie ground that runs across Lee County. Sand, soil, decorative stone and clean washed stone ship the same way, ordered online by the ton or the yard.

Materials for Compton Projects

CA-6 is the base material for this market. It compacts into a firm surface for a driveway, a parking pad, a garage base or trench backfill.

Order it through CA-6.

For a finished drive surface, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base. Crusher Run is the secondary name for the same fines-bearing stone.

Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.

Washed stone carries no fines, so it drains. CA-7, sold as CA-7, beds pipe and drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size Illinois yards sell alongside it. CA-16 Chips bed permeable pavers and top a compacted base.

Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines used to bed pavers and flagstone and to backfill around pipe. For concrete and leveling, Washed Sand is the coarse washed sand Illinois yards call torpedo sand.

Mason Sand is finer, for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Soil and decorative material round out a project. Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie soil for lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds.

River Gravel and Large River Rock dress beds and dry creek beds, while RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Compton

Water is the driver here. Snowmelt and spring rain on still-frozen ground push water across the surface before the soil can take it, and tight till on the flat ground holds it.

Across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, that pattern repeats: tight till and a high water table on the flat ground, sand plains that drain almost too fast, and gully and sheet erosion on steeper slopes. A base that holds water loses its shape.

So a clean washed layer belongs under anything that needs to shed water. CA-7 and CA-11 both drain, and CA-16 Chips work where the space is tight.

Frost matters too. This is some of the coldest winter country in the state, with repeated freeze and thaw and heavy frost action in unbound base and shallow footings.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction in the winter.

Frost depth is about 42 inches across the northern counties, and the local building department sets the figure for footings. Plan the season around that, not against it.
