Ground and Conditions in Bourbonnais

Clay-rich till and heavy silt sit under a lot of ground across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines. Water sheds off that ground instead of soaking in, and flat lots give it little fall.

A thin base over that clay shows the failure fast. The pad pumps, the pavers rock, and the joints open after a wet spring.

The fix is a base course that carries the load and a clean stone layer that lets water move. CA-6 packs into a firm base.

CA-7, the washed 1 inch clean stone, has no fines, so it stays open for drainage under pipe and flatwork.

Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring across this region, and gravel surfaces stay soft until the ground drains. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

Materials for Bourbonnais Projects

Bedding decides how a patio or a walk finishes. Set the bedding right and the surface stays flat.

Get it wrong and every paver above it moves.

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Crushed limestone fines, also called screenings, bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Rake them to a level layer and the units sit even.

CA-6 goes under that bedding as the compacted base course. It also builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For drainage and concrete work, CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone are the washed clean stone sizes. CA-7 beds pipe and drainage trenches.

The 3/4 inch clean stone, CA-11 by number, does the same job alongside it.

CA-16 Chips are the small 3/8 inch chips. They bed permeable pavers, sit around tanks and top a compacted base.

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.
