Bulk Gravel Delivery to Naperville, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Naperville, IL, and the working season sets the schedule. 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.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in that most base work here starts from.

Ground and Conditions in Naperville

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay over clay-rich till. Water sheds off that ground rather than soaking in, and flat lots have little fall to move it along.

A thin base over that clay shows its failure fast. The stone punches down, the edges spread, and the surface stays soft after every heavy rain.

The fix is a base course of the right material at the right depth, not a thin skim of stone.

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

Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code, and the local building department sets the figure.

Materials for Naperville Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows first. The bedding layer has to hold a level plane, drain, and stay put under the paver.

Get it wrong and the surface rocks and settles within a season.

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Crushed limestone fines, also called screenings, pack into a firm, level bed for pavers and flagstone and backfill cleanly around pipe.

Washed Sand, sold as torpedo sand in Illinois yards, is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Under the bedding, the base course carries the load. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Where water has to move instead of being held, clean washed stone does the work. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base. Top Soil finishes lawns, grading and bed prep, sold screened from dark Illinois prairie soil.
