Materials for Carmi Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, so that is where this market builds from the ground up. Fill, topsoil and garden soil set the grade before any stone goes down.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Fill Dirt raises grade and builds up low spots before a base course goes down. It is bulk material for rough shaping, not a finished surface.

Top Soil comes screened for lawns, grading and bed prep. Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, which holds moisture well through a dry summer.

Garden Soil fits raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas. Use it where roots need loose, workable ground rather than compacted fill.

Shredded Mulch dresses beds and tree rings and holds moisture through the heat. Spread it over prepared ground, not over bare subsoil.

Base and Stone

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.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe, fills drainage trenches and French drains, and sits under concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size, sold alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe. They are the standard bedding layer in Illinois.

Sand and Decorative

Washed Sand is torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas. RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Carmi

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, water is the driver. Rain, snowmelt and spring storms hit ground where the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down.

Water perches on top of that layer, so ground stays saturated for weeks. Unbound base pumps under traffic when it is wet, which is what breaks a drive down.

Loess sits over old, weathered Illinoian drift here, and the relief runs flat to gently rolling. Where the thin loess is bared, sheet and gully erosion moves soil fast.

Clean stone handles the water that will not drain away. CA-7 and CA-11 let it move through a trench instead of sitting against a foundation or under a slab.

The working season is longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and base work.

Winters are cold but shorter than in the north, with frequent freeze and thaw swings that work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth on the Southern till plain and claypan country side runs about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets it.

What stone should I use for drainage in Carmi?

Use clean washed stone, not a fines-bearing base. CA-7 and CA-11 are the Illinois sizes for French drains, foundation drains and pipe bedding.

Both are washed with no fines, so water moves through instead of sitting. On tight claypan ground across the Southern till plain, that open stone is what keeps a trench working.
