Buy CA-11 in Lake in the Hills, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lake in the Hills, IL. Base, driveway and paver work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Most of that work starts with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market calls road base. It is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Materials for Lake in the Hills Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Lake in the Hills project begins. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Crusher Run is the secondary name for the same idea: crushed stone with the fines left in.

Clean washed stone is the other half of the work. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same jobs in 3/4 inch sizes.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand and soil round out a project. Washed Sand, called torpedo sand here, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots. Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix. River Gravel and Large River Rock handle beds, borders, dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

RipRap protects banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Lake in the Hills

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, heavy silt and clay shed water rather than take it. Flat ground has little fall, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers.

That shapes what goes under a drive or a pad. Water that cannot soak away has to move, so a clean washed layer belongs where drainage matters and a fines-bearing base belongs where compaction does.

Stream bank scour and sheet wash off bare clay lots follow heavy rain in this part of the state. Bare ground loses its surface fast, which is why a graded lot gets covered rather than left open.

Long cold winters bring many freeze and thaw cycles. Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.
