Lime Screenings for Pathways in Arthur, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Arthur, IL, and the material list starts with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base. It packs into driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

You order by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on your site. Arthur sits in Douglas County, on flat Grand Prairie ground where water stands after heavy rain.

Ground and Conditions in Arthur

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat to gently rolling, and the subsoil under the dark silt loam is dense clay. There is almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after a heavy rain. A thin base over that clay shows the failure fast: the stone punches down, ruts hold water, and the surface never dries out.

The fix is enough compacted CA-6 to bridge the soft layer, plus a clean stone drainage edge where water collects. Sheet erosion off bare silt loam is the other problem, so cover open ground with topsoil and seed or with mulch.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, so plan around that window.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, and the local building department sets the figure that applies.

Materials for Arthur Projects

For paths and garden walks, lime screenings are the surface to reach for. These are crushed limestone fines, the bedding layer Illinois crews know as screenings, and they firm up underfoot into a smooth, walkable top.

Order Lime Screenings for a path that needs a fine finish, for paver and flagstone bedding, and for backfill around pipe. Pair them with Walkway Gravel where a walk carries more foot traffic and needs a coarser surface.

For the base under any of it, CA-6 is the material to name. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes down under driveways, parking pads, garage slabs and trench backfill.

Order CA-6 for a compacted base, or Crusher Run for the same crushed stone with fines. Where water has to move instead of sit, switch to clean washed stone.

Around the house, Top Soil covers grading and lawn prep. Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and it arrives screened.
