Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Elizabeth, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Elizabeth, IL by the ton or by the yard. Illinois Rock Supply drops bulk material at your site, from CA-6 road base to washed stone, sand and soil.

Elizabeth sits in Jo Daviess County, where loess ridges and steep valley sides shape how a drive drains and where water ends up.

Materials for Elizabeth Projects

Start with the base. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material. Order it through CA-6.

For an existing drive that just needs a fresh surface, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base. Crusher Run is the secondary name for the same fines-bearing stone.

Washed stone comes next. CA-7, also called #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, has no fines.

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

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards sell beside it. Both go in through CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone.

Smaller clean sizes cover tighter work. CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois calls screenings, bed pavers and flagstone.

Sand splits two ways. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

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

Soil and decorative round it out. Topsoil is screened for lawns, grading and bed prep.

River Gravel and Large River Rock handle beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Elizabeth

Water drives everything here. Across the Driftless and old-drift northwest, steep ground moves rain and snowmelt fast into narrow valleys.

Springs and seeps come out of the dolomite. Heavy rain runs off loess ridges before it can soak in, so a drive takes the hit instead of the ground.

That changes what you order. A base course on a hillside pad has to shed water, and a clean washed layer under a drain gives it somewhere to go.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Gully and rill erosion cuts loess on steep slopes, cut banks slump, and narrow valley streams scour.

Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes where water concentrates. CA-7 and CA-11 handle the buried drainage work.

Timing matters too. Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall.

A wet spring turns loess greasy, and steep drives and hillside pads are hardest to build then.

Cold winters bring sharp freeze and thaw. Frost works harder on thin soils over rock and on cut slopes.

Frost depth in northern Illinois runs about 42 inches, and the local building department sets the figure it uses.
