Materials for Chatsworth Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work that sets the order of materials here. Fill dirt goes down first to bring a low yard or a new building pad up to level, and CA-6 goes over it as the compacted base course.

For a driveway, start with Fill Dirt where the grade is low, then cap it with CA-6. CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm surface.

For a patio or paver area, the bedding layer is Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards sell for paver and flagstone bedding. Lime screenings are also the backfill around pipe.

For a drain, use clean washed stone. CA-7 is the 1 inch clean stone for French drains, drainage trenches and bedding under pipe.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch washed stone for the same work and for concrete flatwork.

Sand and soil round out the same jobs. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Top Soil covers lawns and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in Chatsworth

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the ground is flat to gently rolling till under deep, dark prairie silt loams. The clay subsoil beneath it has almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, which is why so much farmland in this part of the state is tile drained. A base built over wet, unyielding clay moves, so the fill and sub-base have to carry the load.

Bare silt loam also erodes in sheets, and runoff concentrates into gullies where it leaves a yard or a field. Grading that sends water away from a pad protects the base you just built.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and 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, rising toward the northern edge, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your job.
