Bulk Aggregates near Clarendon Hills, IL, 60514

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run works well for a compacted base; top with 3/4 inch crushed stone or Natural Pea Gravel for a finished look. A proper base layer prevents settling.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone (3/4 inch) or drain rock allows water to pass through without clogging. Avoid materials with fines near foundations.
• Patios and walkways: Use a compacted base of crusher run or 3/4 inch stone, then a layer of sand or fine gravel for setting pavers. Good base prevents shifting.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative stone or mulch covers beds neatly. Screened topsoil improves existing soil for planting. Garden soil adds organic matter.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

Clarendon Hills in ZIP 60514 features a mix of older built-up lots and newer subdivisions. Many homes sit on compact town lots with established landscaping.

Soil in the area can vary from well-drained Top Soil to heavier clay that holds water. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter affect driveways and walkways, making a stable base important.

The terrain is generally flat to gently rolling, so drainage patterns are subtle but can affect runoff after heavy rain. Selecting materials that handle moisture well is a practical consideration.

What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Clarendon Hills?

Crusher run is a popular choice for a compacted driveway base. For the surface, 3/4 inch crushed stone or Natural Pea Gravel works well depending on the desired look and traffic.

What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?

Crusher run contains fines that bind the stones together when compacted. Crushed Stone has no fines and allows water to drain through, making it better for drainage applications.

What material works best for drainage around a foundation?

Crushed Stone, such as 3/4 inch or #57 stone, is ideal. It directs water away from the foundation without creating a clogging layer.
