Materials for Anchor Projects

Decorative rock carries a yard here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all take rounded stone that stays put and reads well from the road.

Start with River Gravel for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock handles dry creek beds, downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work.

For walkways and play areas, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives a rounded, walkable surface. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

For a driveway or a parking pad, order CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It is the Illinois base material.

CA-6 also works for shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For drainage, order clean washed stone. CA-7 beds pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at 3/4 inch.

For concrete flatwork and tight bedding, CA-16 Chips cover permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Washed Sand, which yards here call torpedo sand, mixes concrete and levels beds.

Soil and mulch finish the job. Top Soil grades lawns and preps beds, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Ground and Conditions in Anchor

Anchor sits on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois. The ground is flat to gently rolling, under deep, dark prairie silt loams.

Beneath that topsoil is dense clay subsoil, and this part of the state has almost no natural fall. Water stands after heavy rain instead of running off.

That matters for any base you build. Silt loam and clay hold water, so a base course over bare soil stays soft and moves under a truck or a trailer.

Runoff off bare silt loam also cuts. Where yard and field water concentrates, it gullies, so route drainage into clean washed stone rather than letting it sheet across a drive.

Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth is about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your job.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through winter.
