Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Stone Park, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Stone Park, IL. The working season here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Order CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. The heavy silt and clay under this part of Cook County shapes what works.

Materials for Stone Park Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil. Screened top soil goes down for lawns, regrading and bed prep, and Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty.

Top Soil is sold screened so it spreads and rakes clean.

For raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas, Garden Soil is blended for rooting rather than filling. Where grade has to come up before anything else goes down, Fill Dirt is the bulk layer under a base course.

Base and drive work runs on CA-6, also called road base. It is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

Washed stone handles water and concrete. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

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

Sand, chips and decorative stone finish the list. Washed Sand is torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone. River Gravel and pebble sizes cover beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Stone Park

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground sheds water rather than takes it. Clay-rich till and lake plain clay sit under the flat ground, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in the older built-up areas.

That changes the order of work. Where water has nowhere to fall, drainage stone is the layer that carries it away, and a fines-bearing base like CA-6 is the wrong material for that job.

For drainage, use clean washed stone. CA-7 and CA-11 are the numbers Illinois contractors ask for by name, and both are clean stone with no fines.

Frost shapes the schedule too. Long cold winters bring many freeze and thaw cycles, and frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall.
