Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Woodridge, IL

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Woodridge, IL runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

Illinois Rock Supply delivers bulk material to DuPage County sites, and CA-6, the local dense graded base, is the starting point for most new drives and pads.

Materials for Woodridge Projects

Grading and bed prep come before anything else on a Woodridge lot. That work starts with soil, not stone.

Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and yards sell it screened for lawns, grading and planting beds. Top Soil builds the finished grade a lawn or bed sits on.

Garden Soil is the mix for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas where roots need loose ground.

Where a site has to come up to grade before a base course goes down, Fill Dirt does that work in bulk. Shredded Mulch finishes the beds and tree rings and holds moisture through a summer.

Once grade is set, the base and drainage layers follow. Each product page has a calculator for sizing a load.

Sand covers the wet trades. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding, and mason sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Decorative work uses rounded stone instead: Natural Pea Gravel for walkways and play areas, river gravel for beds and dry creek beds, and large river rock for downspout splash areas.

Ground and Conditions in Woodridge

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, heavy silt and clay shed water rather than take it. Flat ground has little fall, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in older built-up areas.

That is why drainage comes up on almost every grading job here.

Clean washed stone is the answer for water that has to move. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed sizes, and CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch chips for tighter bedding and drainage around tanks.

None of them carry fines, so water passes through instead of sitting in the void.

CA-6 is the opposite material. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, and the fines are what let it knit together into a compacted base for a drive, pad or trench backfill.

Using a clean stone where a base belongs, or the reverse, is the mistake to avoid.

Stream bank scour on the DuPage after heavy rain and sheet wash off bare clay lots both move soil fast. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Lime screenings bed pavers and surface paths, and they stay put once they are set.

Frost matters here too. A long cold winter with many freeze and thaw cycles lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

The frost depth figure of about 42 inches is what northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry in the residential code, and the local building department sets it. That figure belongs to the region, not to Woodridge alone.

What stone should I use for drainage in Woodridge?

Use a clean washed stone. CA-7 and CA-11, the 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed sizes, work for French drains, pipe bedding and drainage trenches.

CA-16 chips, the 3/8 inch size, suit tighter bedding and drainage around tanks. None of these carry fines, so water moves through them.

CA-6 is a compacted base material, not a drainage stone.
