Materials for Cobden Projects

Decorative stone carries a lot of the work here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all take rounded stone, and the Shawnee Hills slopes give water somewhere to run when it leaves a downspout.

Start with the bed. River Gravel is rounded decorative gravel for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

For paths and walks, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is a rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways, play areas and drainage. Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer surface.

Beds hold moisture better under Shredded Mulch, which goes around tree rings and planting areas through an Illinois summer. Around the house, RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

For a driveway or a drain, the clean stone sizes get specified by number. CA-7 is washed clean stone for bedding under pipe and drainage trenches.

CA-16 Chips handle permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Ground and Conditions in Cobden

Across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, the ground is unglaciated hill country of sandstone and limestone. Soil is thin and rock sits close to the surface, with loess on the ridge tops and silt and gravel in the narrow valley bottoms.

That matters before you order anything. Thin soil over rock stores almost no water, so an under-built base pumps and shifts when the ground stays wet.

Steep ground concentrates runoff into narrow hollows very quickly, and heavy rain arrives in large amounts at once. Fast water scours hillside drives and culvert outlets, gullies steep unsurfaced tracks and flash floods the hollows.

Rock fall and slumping on cut banks follow the same pattern. If a base is too shallow, water finds the weak spot and the surface starts moving.

The working season is the longest in Illinois, running from late winter into early winter. The limit is wet weather and soft hillside access, not frozen ground.

Winters are the mildest in the state, though freeze and thaw still come regularly, and water on these slopes is the bigger concern.
