CA-16 Chips Delivery for Joliet, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Joliet, IL, and the base material this market builds on is CA-6. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Joliet sits on the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, where heavy silt and clay ground needs a base that holds its shape.

Materials for Joliet Projects

The assigned angle here is fill and sub-base for raising grade and building pads. A low, flat lot or a spot that ponds needs fill dirt before anything else goes down.

Fill dirt is bulk fill for raising grade, and it is the layer that gets a site up to the level you want.

Once the grade is set, CA-6 is the sub-base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it tightens up under a driveway, a parking pad or a garage slab.

Order it for the base course and for trench backfill.

For a driveway, order Driveway Gravel to surface an existing drive or top a compacted base. For a patio or paver walk, the bedding layer is what matters.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, the Chicago area name for screenings, and they bed pavers and flagstone.

For drainage, clean stone carries water instead of holding it. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, used under pipe, in drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Ground and Conditions in Joliet

Start with the soil and what it does to an under-built base. Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground runs to heavy silt and clay, and clay-rich till sits under a lot of it.

Clay sheds water rather than taking it.

Flat ground has little fall, so water sits where it lands. A base that was not built for that movement will pump and shift.

A clean stone drainage layer under a fines-bearing base gives the water somewhere to go.

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.

Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.
