Materials for Clifton Projects

Raising grade is the job that sets up everything else here. Fill dirt brings a low spot up to level, and CA-6 goes over it as the compacted base for a building pad, a parking area or a garage slab.

On flat ground with clay underneath, a pad that starts too low stays wet. Build the elevation first, then cap it with a base that locks together.

What to order for a driveway

CA-6 is the base course for a new drive or a rebuild, and it also surfaces an existing one. Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base where you want a finished driving surface.

Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines left in, the same idea as CA-6 under its secondary name.

What to order for a patio or walk

Bed the pavers on Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois crews call screenings. Walkway Gravel gives a garden path a finer, walkable surface.

What to order for drainage

Clean washed stone moves water. CA-7, also sold as #57 stone, is washed clean stone with no fines for French drains, drainage trenches and bedding under pipe.

CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean stone, is the other size Illinois yards sell for the same work. RipRap armors a bank, a culvert outlet or a pond edge.

Ground and Conditions in Clifton

Clifton sits on the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, where deep dark prairie silt loams lie over dense clay subsoil. The land is close to flat with almost no natural fall.

Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain, and much of the farmland around here is tile drained for that reason. A base built on that ground has to shed water, not trap it.

Bare silt loam also washes. Sheet erosion off an open yard and gullying where runoff concentrates are the two things to watch while a pad is open.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen through the winter, so base and paver work fits between those two.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring, and the local building department sets footing depth.

Questions About Material in Clifton

What is the best base under pavers in Clifton?

CA-6 is the base course: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It compacts into a firm layer over fill dirt or native ground.

Bed the pavers themselves on lime screenings, the crushed limestone fines sold here as screenings, which give a level bedding layer under the units.
