Rip Rap and Bulk Aggregates for Woodstock, IL

Illinois Rock Supply runs gravel and aggregate delivery in Woodstock, IL, and the load size starts with the calculator on each product page. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.

CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone this market builds drives and pads on. Coarse stone handles the slopes and swales around here, where clay ground sheds water instead of taking it.

Materials for Woodstock Projects

Water on a clay lot has to go somewhere. Around Woodstock the ground sheds storm water rather than soaking it in, so slopes, swales and bank edges take a beating after heavy rain.

That is where the coarse end of the yard earns its place.

RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring. Gradations run from RR 3 through RR 7, so you can match the size to the drop and the flow you are holding back.

#4 Crushed Stone is 1 1/2 inch clean stone, also sold locally as CA-5. It works for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms where you want open voids and no fines.

Railroad Ballast is the 3 inch clean stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage. Illinois yards sell this size as CA-1 or RR1.

Below the armor sizes, the washed stone does the everyday drainage work. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for bedding, drainage and concrete flatwork. Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells and downspout runs when you want it specified by function instead of by number.

Where a slope has to hold planted ground instead of bare stone, Top Soil is the screened prairie topsoil for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Delivery to Woodstock 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 in one pile.

Delivery covers Woodstock and the rest of McHenry County, including Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, McHenry, Huntley and Algonquin.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Bulk material needs firm, level ground that can carry a loaded truck and enough room for the pile to sit without blocking a lane.

Ground and Conditions in Woodstock

Base, driveway and paver work in this part of Illinois runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground runs to heavy silt, clay-rich till and pockets of outwash sand. That ground sheds water rather than taking it, and flat lots give runoff little fall to work with.

Clay lots also sheet-wash when they are bare, which is why bare ground needs cover before the next downpour. Coarse stone on the slope and clean stone in the trench both give water a path out.

Long cold winters bring many freeze and thaw cycles, and frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring. Gravel surfaces stay soft until the ground drains, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.
