Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Grant Park, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Grant Park, IL, with CA-6 as the base material most ground here is built on. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads and shed bases across Kankakee County, and it goes down over fill on low, flat ground.

Delivery to Grant Park and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

A dump truck then tips the material on your site in one pile.

Bulk delivery covers Grant Park and the rest of Kankakee County. That includes Kankakee, Bourbonnais, Bradley, Manteno and Momence.

Fill dirt, CA-6 and clean stone all arrive the same way, tipped where the truck can reach.

Materials for Grant Park Projects

Fill and sub-base for raising grade and building pads come first on a lot that sits low. Fill dirt raises the grade before anything else goes down.

Once the pad is where you want it, CA-6 goes on top as the compacted base that carries the load.

For a driveway or parking pad, the order runs fill dirt to build the pad, then CA-6, then a surface layer of driveway gravel if you want a finer finish. CA-6 packs tight and holds its shape under a car or a truck.

For a patio or paver walk, bed the pavers on lime screenings over a compacted CA-6 base. Lime screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois, and the fines let you screed them flat.

For a drain, a French drain or a foundation drain, order clean washed stone. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch sizes, and CA-16 Chips handle tighter bedding and drainage around tanks.

Ground and Conditions in Grant Park

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground runs to heavy silt and clay over dense till. Clay sheds water instead of taking it, and flat ground gives that water little fall.

An under-built base on ground like that moves and pumps once it stays wet.

That is why the sub-base matters as much as the surface. Fill raises the grade so water runs off instead of sitting, and CA-6 over a properly built pad gives you a base that stays put through a wet spring.

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 until it drains.

Questions About Material in Grant Park

What is the best base under pavers in Grant Park?

CA-6 is the base to build first, compacted as a pad under the bedding layer. Lime screenings go on top of it as the bedding layer, because the fines screed flat and let the pavers sit even.

Skip the CA-6 and the bedding layer has nothing solid under it, which shows up as low spots after a freeze and thaw cycle.
