Ground conditions across Christian County
This is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil beneath it and almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.
That standing water is why clean washed stone matters. CA-7, CA-11 and drain rock let water move instead of trapping it against a foundation or under a slab.
Bare silt loam sheets off in rain and gullies where runoff concentrates. Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where that flow scours.
Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. 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 and shallow slabs each spring. The local building department sets footing depth.
Choosing the right material
Christian County sits on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois. Sangamon County shares that same ground region, so the base and drainage choices there follow the same logic.
Montgomery and Shelby counties sit on southern till plain and claypan country, loess over old, weathered Illinoian drift. Their tight claypan subsoil drains slowly, so a drainage layer matters more there.
On this county's flat, silty ground, start with CA-6 for any load-bearing surface. Add CA-7 or CA-11 where water needs to move.
