Ground and Conditions in Camargo

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat to gently rolling and the subsoil beneath the prairie silt loam is dense clay.

There is almost no natural fall, so water stands after heavy rain instead of running off. That is the condition a thin base fails under first.

Water sitting in the subgrade works its way up into the stone, and a base that was never thick enough to bridge the soft spots starts to pump and rut.

The fix is a base course that spreads load over the clay rather than pressing straight into it, and a clean stone layer where water needs somewhere to go.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets and gullies where yard runoff concentrates, so grading and drainage work together.

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 winter.

Central and eastern Illinois sees repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring.

Materials for Camargo Projects

Bedding is where most paver and flatwork jobs are won or lost. The bedding layer has to hold a consistent surface for the pavers or slabs above it, and it has to stay put once it is set.

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. These crushed limestone fines, also called screenings, pack into a firm, even bed under pavers and flagstone, and they backfill around pipe.

For concrete flatwork, the bedding and leveling layer is usually Washed Sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards call torpedo sand. It levels and beds without the fines that hold water against a slab.

Under a paver base, CA-6 does the structural work. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Where water has to move, switch to clean stone. CA-7 is washed 1 inch stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

For a drive or a shed pad, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base, and Top Soil finishes the lawn and bed areas once the hard work is done.
