Fill and Base Material Delivered in South Elgin, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in South Elgin, IL, and the first step is sizing the load.

Every product page has a calculator, so you can settle the tonnage or yardage before you order. Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market runs on a driveway or a building pad.

Delivery to South Elgin and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on site.

Delivery covers South Elgin and the rest of Kane County, including Elgin, Dundee, Carpentersville, St. Charles and Aurora.

If your site sits in any of those, the same ordering process applies.

Trucks reach residential drives, new pads and open lots. Tell the calculator what the job needs and the quantity follows from there.

Materials for South Elgin Projects

Raising grade and building pads is where most of this work starts, and it takes two different materials in sequence. Fill dirt goes down first to bring a low or uneven lot up to level.

Fill Dirt is bulk fill and nothing more; it is not a surface.

Once the grade is where you want it, CA-6 caps the fill as a compacted base. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it is what a driveway, parking pad, shed base or garage slab sits on.

For a patio or walkway, the base course is CA-6 and the bedding layer on top is lime screenings. Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, the standard bedding layer in Illinois for pavers and flagstone.

Drainage is a separate job with its own stone. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

Concrete and mortar take sand, not stone. Washed Sand, which yards here call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Ground and Conditions in South Elgin

This part of the state sits on the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines. The ground is heavy silt and clay, or clay-rich till further inland, and it sheds water rather than takes it.

Flat ground has little fall, so heavy summer rain overwhelms yard grades and storm sewers. A base built on that clay without a drainage layer holds water under the slab and works loose.

That is why a clean washed stone like CA-7 or CA-11 belongs under pipe and around a foundation, while CA-6 belongs on top of a graded and compacted fill.

Winter is long and brings many freeze and thaw cycles. Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.
