Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Le Roy, IL

If you are planning a driveway, a parking pad, a patio base or a drainage run in Le Roy, the material has to match the job. Illinois Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Le Roy, IL, ordered online and tipped on site by the ton or the yard.

Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds the base that a drive, a shed pad or a trench backfill sits on, and it is what Illinois yards mean by road base.

Materials for Le Roy Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most Le Roy ground work starts, and CA-6 carries it. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes down as the base under a driveway, a parking pad, a garage slab or a shed.

CA-6 is the local name for it, and road base is the same material.

If you are topping an existing drive instead of building a new base, Driveway Gravel is the surfacing layer. It sits on top of a compacted base and takes the tire wear.

Clean washed stone handles water and bedding. CA-7 is 1 inch washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards sell for the same bedding and drainage work and for concrete flatwork. CA-16 Chips are the small 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and for topping a compacted base.

Sand and fines bed the hard surfaces. Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe.

Washed Sand is torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Soil, fill and decorative stone finish the yard. Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil for lawns and bed prep, Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel and River Gravel cover walkways, beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Le Roy

Le Roy sits in McLean County on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois. This is some of the flattest ground in the country, and under the dark prairie silt loam the subsoil is dense clay with almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain and through the spring thaw. That shapes what you put in the ground: a fines-bearing material like CA-6 holds and compacts into a base, while CA-7 and CA-11 are washed clean so water moves through them instead of sitting.

Bare silt loam also sheets off and gullies where runoff concentrates, and stream banks scour after heavy rain. Where runoff leaves a driveway or a culvert outlet, rip rap armors the edge.

RipRap is the heavy broken stone for that work.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. A wet spring leaves the ground slow to dry, and winter freezes it solid, so timing matters as much as the material.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your footing.
