Materials for Blue Mound Projects

Start with the base. CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Top an existing drive with Driveway Gravel, or use Crusher Run where crushed stone with the fines left in suits base and drives.

Washed stone carries no fines, so water moves through it. CA-7, sold as CA-7, and the 3/4 inch clean stone sold as 3/4" Crushed Stone bed pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

For finer work, CA-16 chips bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base. CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch limestone chips Illinois yards sell for those jobs.

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer for pavers and flagstone. Crushed limestone fines also backfill around pipe.

Sand splits two ways. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is coarse and washed for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is finer, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

Soil and mulch round out a job. Top Soil is screened dark silt loam for lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings.

For decorative work, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas, River Gravel dresses beds and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock handles downspout splash areas and heavier decorative stone.

Ground and Conditions in Blue Mound

Plan around water first. This part of central Illinois is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain. Tile drains run under much of the farmland here for that reason, and a yard or drive can hold a wet pocket the same way.

Soils across the Grand Prairie till plain are deep, dark prairie silt loams over Wisconsin Episode till. Bare silt loam erodes in sheets when runoff concentrates, and field and yard runoff cuts gullies where it gathers.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.

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 rises toward the northern edge of the state. Local building departments set the figure they use, so check with yours for footings and shallow slabs.
