Materials for Berwick Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for first. When a lot sits low or a pad needs to come up, fill dirt goes down before any base course.

Fill Dirt is bulk material for raising grade under a pad, a drive or a floor slab.

Once the grade is where you want it, CA-6 goes on top as the compacted base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

A driveway, a parking pad or a garage floor all start from that base.

Clean stone handles the water side of the job. CA-7 is washed 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same bedding and drainage work.

For a patio, the bedding layer matters as much as the base. Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines and the standard bedding layer under pavers and flagstone in Illinois.

CA-16 Chips, the 3/8 inch limestone chips, bed permeable pavers and top a compacted base.

Concrete and mortar work pulls from the sand side. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and Mason Sand is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Berwick

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, the ground is deep loess over older drift. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so a base that looks fine in dry weather can move once the water sits.

That is why an under-built base shows up here. Fill and sub-base have to bring the grade up to something that drains and holds, rather than letting the native soil decide.

Gully and rill erosion in loess is a real driver on steep ground, and slumping shows on cut slopes. Where runoff concentrates, the ground moves.

Armoring a slope or a culvert outlet with RipRap is how that gets handled.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring, so the base under them has to be built for that movement.

Questions About Material in Berwick

What is the best base under pavers in Berwick?

CA-6 is the compacted base under a paver patio, because it is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in and it locks up under compaction. Above it, Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer that the pavers sit in.

On a permeable paver system, CA-16 Chips take the bedding instead, since the 3/8 inch chips let water through.
