Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Mount Prospect, IL

Planning a driveway rebuild, a parking pad, or a drainage run on a lot in Mount Prospect? Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Mount Prospect, IL, with CA-6 leading the way for base work.

CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone this market builds on. It carries the fines, so it knits into a firm surface for drives, shed pads, and trench backfill.

Materials for Mount Prospect Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is the heart of most ground work here. CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, garage slabs, and shed floors, and it backfills trenches.

For a finished drive surface, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base. Crusher Run is the same idea under a secondary name, crushed stone with the fines still in it.

Washed stone handles everything that has to move water. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains, and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that pairs with it for bedding and drainage.

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

Sand covers concrete and mortar work. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling, and bedding.

Mason Sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes, and volleyball courts.

Soil and decorative stone round out a lot. Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie soil for lawns, grading, and bed prep.

Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots. River Gravel and Large River Rock dress beds, borders, and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Prospect

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground sheds water rather than takes it. Heavy silt and clay sit under a lot of this area, and clay-rich till sits under the moraines inland.

Flat ground leaves little fall for runoff. Summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in the older built-up areas, so water sits where it lands.

That shapes how a base goes in. A clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 gives water somewhere to go under a slab or along a footing drain.

A fines-bearing material like CA-6 holds together as a compacted base, and the two do different jobs.

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.

Frost lifts drives, walks, and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.
