Bulk Material Delivery in Elk Grove Village, IL

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Elk Grove Village, IL, Illinois Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and drops it at your site. The ground here is heavy silt and clay laid down on the old lake plain, and that shapes what you build with.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It gives you a compactable base for drives, pads and trench backfill before anything else goes down.

Materials for Elk Grove Village Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with coarse stone. Heavy broken stone holds a bank against moving water, and the open clean sizes carry that water away instead of letting it pond.

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

It is the first choice when water is cutting at the toe of a slope.

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

It moves a lot of water through a lot of void space.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards sell alongside CA-7 for the same work.

At the fine end, Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe. They are the standard bedding layer in Illinois.

CA-6 sits under all of it as the base course.

Ground and Conditions in Elk Grove Village

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, 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 the older built-up areas.

That is why drainage stone matters as much as base stone here. Clean washed sizes like CA-7 and CA-11 give water somewhere to go, while CA-6 gives you a surface that compacts and stays put.

Long cold winters bring many freeze and thaw cycles, and frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring. Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code, and the local building department sets the figure.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Elk Grove Village

What stone should I use for drainage in Elk Grove Village?

For pipe bedding, French drains and drainage trenches, use a clean washed stone with no fines, so water passes through instead of sitting. CA-7 and CA-11 are the sizes Illinois yards sell for that work.

For a heavy trench bottom or a construction entrance, #4 Crushed Stone moves more water. RipRap handles bank and swale protection where the flow is stronger.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot cleared and reachable, with nothing overhead and room for a dump truck to tip its load. The material lands in one pile, so pick a spot that works for how you plan to move it.
