Materials for Catlin Projects

Decorative rock does a lot of work around Catlin yards, and it starts with the beds. River gravel is rounded stone for bed cover, borders and dry creek beds, and it holds its color season after season.

Large river rock is the bigger rounded stone. Use it where a dry creek bed needs weight, at downspout splash areas, and along a bed edge that gets walked past.

For a walkway or a garden path, Natural Pea Gravel gives you a rounded 3/8 inch surface that is comfortable underfoot. Shredded mulch is the other ground cover choice, and it holds moisture through an Illinois summer in beds and tree rings.

Hardscape projects still need a base under them. CA-6 is the compacted base for drives, pads and garage floors, and lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Drainage work calls for clean washed stone instead. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch clean sizes for French drains, trench bedding and concrete flatwork, and CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch size for tight bedding and drainage around tanks.

Ground and Conditions in Catlin

Catlin sits on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, where deep dark prairie silt loams lie over dense clay subsoil. This is some of the flattest ground in the country, and it has almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain. A base that is under-built on ground like this holds that water and moves, so the base course has to be right before anything goes on top of it.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets, and runoff concentrates into gullies where field and yard water collects. That is the same reason so much farmland here is tile drained.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, and repeated freeze and thaw shows up in gravel drives and walks each spring.
