Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Lena, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Lena, IL, with CA-6 leading the list for drives, pads and shed bases. The ground here sits in the Driftless and old-drift northwest, where loess covers dolomite and limestone.

Order bulk material by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips it on your site.

Materials for Lena Projects

CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds up driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Order CA-6 when you need a surface that tightens under traffic.

For an existing drive that only needs a fresh course on top, Driveway Gravel works over a compacted base. Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable finish.

Where water has to move instead of standing, clean washed stone is the choice. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, and CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone Illinois yards sell alongside it.

Both bed pipe, line drainage trenches and sit under concrete flatwork. Use CA-7 or 3/4" Crushed Stone for that work.

Sand and soil round out the list. Torpedo sand is what Illinois yards call coarse washed sand, and it goes into concrete, leveling and bedding; Washed Sand covers that.

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

Most builds also want Top Soil for lawns and bed prep, screened Illinois prairie topsoil that is dark and silty. Set Garden Soil in raised beds and vegetable plots.

Ground and Conditions in Lena

Steep ground moves water fast into narrow valleys, and heavy rain runs off loess ridges before it can soak in. Springs and seeps come out of the dolomite.

A drive or pad that ignores where water goes will show it soon enough.

That is why drainage gets planned before surfacing. Clean stone under a trench or downspout run gives water somewhere to go instead of sitting against a base.

CA-7, CA-11 and CA-16 chips all serve that purpose.

Gully and rill erosion in loess on steep slopes is the other local pattern, along with rock fall and slumping on cut banks. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes where water scours.

Order RipRap for that kind of work.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. A wet spring turns loess greasy, which makes steep drives and hillside pads the hardest jobs to build.

Frost depth in northern Illinois is about 42 inches, and the local building department sets it.
