Pea Gravel, Stone and Soil Delivery in Mundelein, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mundelein, IL, by the ton or by the yard. The base material here is CA-6, also called road base, a dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Mundelein sits on the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, where heavy silt and clay shed water instead of taking it. That shapes what you put under a drive, a pad or a drain.

Materials for Mundelein Projects

Washed stone carries drainage work in this part of Lake County. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean stone with no fines, because fines pack tight and stop water moving.

CA-7, also called #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside CA-7. It does the same bedding, drainage and concrete work at a smaller size.

For the tightest work, CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

Lime screenings, also called limestone screenings, are crushed limestone fines. They bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

CA-6 builds the structural layer. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill, and it compacts because the fines are still in it.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out a load. Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints.

Topsoil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil for lawns and bed prep. Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock cover walkways, beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Mundelein

Base, driveway 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.

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, clay and dense till shed water rather than take it. Flat ground has little fall, so a drainage layer matters as much as the base above it.

Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code, and the local building department sets the figure. Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring.

That is why washed stone belongs in the ground and CA-6 belongs on top of it. Water reaches the clean stone and keeps moving instead of sitting against the base.
