Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Wood Dale, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Wood Dale, IL, with the materials local crews specify by name. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone Illinois calls road base, is the standard for driveways, parking pads and trench backfill.

Soil and fill matter just as much here. The clay-heavy ground across DuPage County holds water, so grading and bed prep decide how a yard performs.

Materials for Wood Dale Projects

Start with soil and fill when a yard needs grading, new beds or a raised planting area. Top Soil is screened prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns and bed prep before seed or sod goes down.

Garden Soil is blended for raised beds and vegetable plots where roots need loose, workable ground. Fill Dirt raises grade on low spots and builds up a pad before a CA-6 base course goes on top.

Once grade is set, base and washed stone take over. CA-6 compacts into a firm surface for drives, shed bases and garage pads.

CA-7 is washed 1 inch clean stone with no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling.

For bedding and concrete work, 3/4" Crushed Stone (CA-11) goes under pipe and flatwork. Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines used to bed pavers and flagstone.

Sand and decorative stone round out a delivery. Washed Sand, or torpedo sand, mixes into concrete and levels beds.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways and play areas where a rounded surface is wanted.

Ground and Conditions in Wood Dale

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, water is the driver. Heavy summer downpours and spring snowmelt hit ground that sheds water rather than takes it, and flat lots give it nowhere to run.

That shape of ground decides what goes under a project. A drive or pad needs a compacted CA-6 base so the surface stays put when the clay below stays wet.

Drainage work belongs to clean washed stone. CA-7 and CA-11 let water pass instead of trapping it, which suits foundation drains, downspout runs and French drains on tight ground.

Bare clay lots also sheet wash after a storm, so grading and topsoil placement matter before anything is planted or paved.

Timing follows the season. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

What stone should I use for drainage in Wood Dale?
