Bulk Gravel Delivery to Manteno, IL

If you are planning a driveway, a patio base or a drainage run in Manteno, gravel and aggregate delivery in Manteno, IL starts with picking the right material. Illinois Rock Supply sells CA-6, clean stone, sand and soil in bulk.

This part of Kankakee County sits on clay-rich moraine ground that sheds water slowly, so what goes under the surface matters as much as what shows.

Ground and Conditions in Manteno

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay over dense till. Water runs off that ground instead of soaking in.

Flat lots have little fall to move it along.

A paver patio or a slab on that ground fails at the base first. Clay holds moisture, and a thin base layer over wet clay moves and settles out of level.

Frost is the other half of it. Long winters with many freeze and thaw cycles lift drives, walks and slabs every spring, and gravel surfaces stay soft until the ground drains.

Base and paver 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.

Materials for Manteno Projects

Bedding is where a hardscape job is won or lost. Under pavers and flatwork you need a material that levels, compacts and stays put, and in Illinois that generally means lime screenings.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer here. They bed pavers and flagstone and they backfill around pipe.

Screened to a consistent grade, they screed flat and hold their shape under a plate.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Under concrete flatwork and drainage, the clean washed stone takes over. 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

CA-7 is the 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

For the finer end, CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and for topping a compacted base. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.
