Buy Crushed Stone in Yorkville, Illinois

Crushed stone holds up under heavy loads and resists frost heave better than nearly any other loose fill. The wrong size, though, can shift under pressure or clog drainage. In Yorkville, where the ground freezes deep and long, choosing the right base layer matters as much as the surface finish.

Gravel Monkey stocks eight crushed stone sizes, from fine screenings to heavy rip rap. Each one solves a specific problem: drainage, load bearing, or weed suppression. The choices change how a driveway, patio, or retaining wall performs through an Illinois winter.

Eight Crushed Stone Sizes for Yorkville Projects

The most ordered crushed stone for Yorkville driveways and construction is #57 Crushed Stone. It compacts well and drains freely, making it a reliable base under concrete and asphalt. For other jobs, one of these sizes fits better.

Which Crushed Stone to Order for Common Yorkville Jobs

Match your project to the right product and depth using this guide. Depth recommendations assume a stable subgrade.

How Yorkville Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Yorkville gets about 40 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage planning is critical for any crushed stone surface. Without a properly sloped base and the right open-graded stone, water pools and softens the subgrade. About 75 days a year bring measurable rain, which makes it hard to keep a delivery site dry. Schedule your dump truck delivery onto firm, unfrozen ground to avoid ruts before the stone goes down.

The ground freezes on about 134 days a year, and that freeze-thaw cycle pushes thin bases out of shape. Spring thaw is the wet part of the year for driveways, and it is when a thin base shows up as ruts. A deep enough layer of 3/4" or #57 stone prevents that heave. Soils mapped in the Yorkville area are commonly well drained, which means you may need less base stone than someone on clay. The ground around Yorkville is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.

About 33 inches of snowfall each year means plows will scrape a loose surface. A top layer of 3/8" or #57 stone resists plow damage better than rounded gravel. Kendall County permitted about 441 single-family homes in 2024, and new construction sites often need crushed stone for driveways and temporary access roads before the final pavement goes in.

Estimating Your Crushed Stone Tonnage

Crushed stone is sold by the ton. The volume you need depends on the depth of the layer and the size of the area. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by the material's compaction factor.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone in Yorkville

How many tons of crushed stone do I need for my project?

Measure the length and width of the area in feet and multiply by the intended depth in feet. Divide that cubic footage by 100 to get a rough tonnage estimate for crushed stone. For a precise number, enter your Yorkville project dimensions into the crushed stone calculator, which accounts for material compaction and waste.

Do you deliver crushed stone to Yorkville and the surrounding area?

Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers crushed stone to Yorkville and all of Kendall County by dump truck. Delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout, and you pick the delivery window. We also serve nearby towns like Oswego, Montgomery, Plano, Sugar Grove, Big Rock, Plainfield, Sandwich, Aurora, North Aurora, and Naperville.

What is the difference between the sizes you stock?

Crushed stone is graded by screen size. Smaller numbers, like #10 Screenings, are fine dust for leveling. Larger numbers, like 2"-3" Crushed Stone, are heavy rip rap for erosion control. #57 Crushed Stone is the middle size, about 1 inch, and works for the widest range of jobs.

How is crushed stone measured and sold?

Crushed stone is measured in cubic feet or cubic yards and sold by the ton. The weight per cubic yard varies by stone type but generally falls between 2,400 and 2,700 pounds. Gravel Monkey lists all products by the ton so you can order exactly what the job requires.
