Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across Kankakee County, IL
Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Kankakee County, IL. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.
CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone most of that work starts from. Order online by the ton or the yard and a dump truck tips the load on site.
Materials Delivered in Kankakee County
CA-6 is the Illinois base material. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it packs into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.
Article 1004.01 sets the coarse aggregate gradations CA 1 through CA 20, and dense graded base is CA-6.
Clean stone carries no fines and drains instead of packing. CA-7 is washed 1 inch stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.
CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone yards sell alongside it.
Lime screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois, and torpedo sand is what yards here call coarse washed sand. Mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.
Riprap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.
For decorative work, Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways and play areas, river gravel fills beds and dry creek beds, and large river rock handles downspout splash areas and heavier borders.

Ground Conditions Across Kankakee County
Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground runs to heavy silt and clay, with clay-rich till inland and outwash sand across the Kankakee plain. Clay and dense till shed water rather than take it.
Flat ground has little fall, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades. Where a base is thin, that water shows up as ruts, soft spots and stone pushed down into the clay.
The fix is a base that carries the load and a clean stone layer that moves water away. CA-6 builds the base, and CA-7 or CA-11 gives drainage a path out.
Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and spring thaw leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains. Sheet wash off bare clay lots is the other problem, and riprap armors slopes and outlets where water concentrates.
Choosing the Right Material
Livingston County, Iroquois County and Ford County sit on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois. That ground is flat to gently rolling till under deep, dark prairie silt loams, with long moraine ridges crossing the plain.
Kankakee County ground is the lake plain and moraine mix. The prairie counties carry deeper silt loam, so their drainage and base choices track the same rules: dense graded base for load, clean stone for water.
