Lime Screenings for Pathways in Crossville, IL

If you are planning a garden path, a paver walk or a new shed pad, you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Crossville, IL, and Illinois Rock Supply brings it to your site. Lime screenings give you the fine, tight surface paths want.

Where a path meets a drive or a parking pad, CA-6, the local road base, carries the load underneath.

Crossville sits in White County, on the Southern till plain and claypan country that shapes how ground here handles water.

Ground and Conditions in Crossville

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Rain perches on top of it and the ground stays saturated for weeks.

An unbound base over that ground pumps under traffic. A thin layer of fines spread straight onto clay turns soft and rutted the first wet spring.

The fix is a clean, open drainage layer under the walking surface, with a compacted base above it where the path takes foot traffic. On the Southern till plain and claypan country side, that order of layers is what keeps a path firm instead of spongy.

The working season runs longer than upstate at both ends. A wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April, so late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and base work.

Materials for Crossville Projects

Lime screenings, also called limestone screenings, are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer for pavers and flagstone in Illinois. Tamped down, they give a path a firm, smooth surface that takes a footprint without shifting.

Order them at Lime Screenings.

Under that bedding, CA-6 is the local base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Where the path has to shed water, CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, and it drains instead of holding. Illinois yards specify it for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

See CA-7.

CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch limestone chips. They bed permeable pavers, top a compacted base and drain around tanks.

They sit at CA-16 Chips.

For a walkable surface that is not tamped fines, Walkway Gravel is sized for paths and garden walks that want a finer finish.
