Materials for Berkeley Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of yards here, and the beds, borders and dry creek beds around Berkeley take rounded stone well. River gravel is the rounded decorative stone for beds and borders.

Large river rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

For a driveway or a parking pad, CA-6 is the base course and driveway gravel is the surface layer over it. Walkway gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable surface.

Around a patio or a drain, the clean washed stone does the work.

CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell, goes under concrete and leveling work.

Mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Berkeley

Berkeley sits on the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, where heavy silt and clay shed water instead of taking it. Flat ground has little fall, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in the older built-up areas.

That is the ground your base has to sit on.

An under-built base on clay shows up fast. Water sits in the subgrade, the surface stone moves, and the drive ruts.

CA-6 with its fines left in knits into a tight, compacted base, which is why it is the base material for drives and pads in this part of Illinois.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

Long cold winters with many freeze and thaw cycles lift drives, walks and slabs every spring. Frost depth in northeastern Illinois is about 42 inches, the figure area jurisdictions carry in the residential code; the local building department sets it.
