CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base this market builds on. Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, that base and the drainage stone around it do the real work.

Materials for Dahinda Projects

Water is the driver here. Loess sheds rain fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so French drains, drywells and downspout runs are common work.

Washed stone with no fines is what those systems are built from.

Start with the largest clean size. CA-7 is washed clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards sell alongside it for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

For tighter work, CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines, the standard bedding layer under pavers and flagstone.

Where the ground has to be built up first, fill dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down. Then CA-6 goes on top.

For a driveway, driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. A shed or garage base starts with fill dirt to raise grade, then CA-6 over it.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile.

Bulk loads are heavy and the ground decides where a truck can go. On the rolling uplands and dissected bluffs of this part of the state, a soft shoulder or a saturated lawn is worth a look before the date you choose.

Ground and Conditions in Dahinda

Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Cold winters bring freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.

Timing matters as much as material. A delivery scheduled on ground that is still holding winter water will not compact the way you want, so plan the date around the season.

Then there is the soil itself. Deep loess sits over older drift on rolling uplands, dissected bluffs and steep ravines.

Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, which is why gully and rill erosion shows up on steep ground.

That is the case for clean washed stone in drains and downspout runs. Water has to reach a place it can leave, and a fines-bearing material will not get it there.
