Lime Screenings for Pathways in Anna, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Anna, IL online, by the ton or by the yard. Illinois Rock Supply delivers CA-6, washed stone, sand and soil across Union County.

Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base. Fines and screenings carry the paths and walkways.

Ground and Conditions in Anna

Anna sits in the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, where thin soil covers rock and the slopes run steep. The ground drains poorly in the hollows and not at all on the ridges.

A thin base fails fast on that ground. Water finds the soft spot, the surface breaks up, and the ruts hold.

The fix is a base that stands up to water and to the grade. Build the surface over a compacted CA-6 course, and keep the edges draining away from the work.

Across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, steep ground concentrates runoff into narrow hollows. Heavy rain arrives in large amounts at once, and thin soil over rock stores almost none of it.

Expect hillside drives to scour and culvert outlets to wash out. Rock can come off a cut bank, and unsurfaced tracks can gully.

This region also works the longest season in Illinois, from late winter into early winter. Wet weather and soft hillside access stop work here, not frozen ground.

Winters stay mild, but freeze and thaw still come and go. On these slopes, water matters more than frost.

Materials for Anna Projects

Lime screenings carry the paths here. The crushed limestone fines knit into a firm, walkable surface that holds its shape on a slope.

Use Lime Screenings to bed pavers and flagstone and to surface garden walks. They also backfill around pipe.

For a path that needs a finer finish, Walkway Gravel gives a smaller, more even surface underfoot.

Every path still starts with a base. CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone for drives, parking pads and shed bases, with the fines left in so it compacts hard.

Where water has to move, use clean washed stone. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for drainage trenches, French drains and bedding under pipe.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and for topping a compacted base.

Torpedo Sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and Mason Sand is the finer sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

For planting, Top Soil dresses lawns and beds, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.
