Fill and Base Material Delivered in Harvey, IL

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Harvey, IL? Illinois Rock Supply brings bulk material to your site by the ton, starting with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market calls road base.

Harvey sits on the Chicago lake plain, where heavy silt and clay shed water instead of taking it. That ground shapes what you order before you order it.

Materials for Harvey Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for first. When a lot sits low or a shed, garage or addition needs a level pad, you build up before you surface.

Fill Dirt is the bulk layer for raising grade and shaping a pad. It goes down first, and CA-6 follows as the base course on top.

CA-6 is the local name for dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It acts as a compacted base under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage floors, and trench backfill.

Chicago area yards also call this material grade 8 or grade 9. Downstate yards say CA-6, which is the name to use here.

For a driveway, order Driveway Gravel to surface a drive or top a compacted base. For a patio or paver walk, order Lime Screenings, the bedding layer in Illinois.

For a drain, clean washed stone is the right family. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

Ground and Conditions in Harvey

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the soil is heavy silt and clay, with clay-rich till inland. Water sits on this ground rather than moving through it.

Flat ground has little fall, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades in older built-up areas. An under-built base on clay lets that water work its way up.

So the fill layer and the base course matter more here than the surface. Build the grade up with fill dirt, then put CA-6 over it so the pad holds.

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.

The residential code in northeastern Illinois carries a frost depth of about 42 inches, and the local building department sets the figure that applies.
