Bulk Material Delivery in Yorkville, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Yorkville, IL, and the surrounding part of Kendall County. CA-6, also called road base, is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. Clay-rich till under Yorkville sheds water rather than takes it, so what you put on top of the ground matters.

Materials for Yorkville Projects

Washed stone is the clean side of the yard. No fines means water moves through it instead of sitting in it, which is what a French drain, a drywell, a foundation drain or a downspout run needs.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe, fills drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards sell alongside CA-7. It works for the same bedding and drainage jobs, and for concrete work.

CA-16 chips are small 3/8 inch chips. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

Fines-bearing stone is the other half of the work. CA-6 compacts into a base for drives, pads and backfill because the fines bind the crushed limestone together.

Sand, Soil and Decorative Stone

Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines. They bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Topsoil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock cover walkways, beds, borders and dry creek beds. Riprap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile. Plan where that pile lands before the truck arrives, because the driver tips it and leaves.

Delivery covers Yorkville and the rest of Kendall County, including Oswego, Bristol, Montgomery, Plano and Newark.

Ground conditions decide when a delivery makes sense. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay until it drains.

Ground and Conditions in Yorkville

Yorkville sits in the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines. Across that ground, the soil is heavy silt and clay, and dense till sheds water rather than takes it.

Flat ground has little fall, so heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in the older built-up areas. That is why a drainage layer matters as much as the surface.

Stream bank scour after heavy rain and sheet wash off bare clay lots both move soil you would rather keep. Riprap armors a bank or a culvert outlet where water concentrates.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code, and the local building department sets the figure.

Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Yorkville?

CA-6 is the Illinois base material for a driveway, because the crushed limestone and fines compact into a firm surface. Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.
