Materials for Dunlap Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots in Dunlap. Get the grade right and the finish material has something to sit on.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep. Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and it comes screened so it spreads clean.

Use Garden Soil for raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas.

Fill Dirt raises grade in bulk before a CA-6 base course goes down. Bulk fill moves the elevation; the base course carries what sits on top.

Under a drive, a parking pad or a shed floor, CA-6 is the base. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

For bedding and drainage, CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed clean stone. CA-7 beds pipe and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage trenches and sewer work.

Pavers bed on Lime Screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois crews spread under pavers and flagstone. Washed Sand is torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Mason Sand is finer, for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Finish with Shredded Mulch in beds and tree rings. It holds moisture through an Illinois summer.

Ground and Conditions in Dunlap

Start with where the water goes. Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, this is some of the flattest ground in the country, and dense clay subsoil sits under it.

There is almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain and spring snowmelt.

That drives two choices. Clean washed stone such as CA-7, CA-11 and Drain Rock carries water away instead of holding it.

Fines-bearing material such as CA-6 compacts into a base and does not drain.

Bare silt loam also washes. Sheet erosion strips it, and runoff concentrates into gullies where a yard or field drains to one low spot.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. A wet spring leaves the ground slow to dry, and winter freezes it solid.

Questions About Ordering Stone and Soil

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Dunlap?

Yes. Order by the ton or by the yard, whichever suits the material and your project.

Choose your quantity on the product page, then select a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the load in one pile at your site, so have the drop area clear before it arrives.

What stone should I use for drainage in Dunlap?

Use clean washed stone, because fines-bearing material holds water instead of moving it. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch washed sizes for pipe bedding, French drains and trenches.

CA-16 chips, the 3/8 inch limestone chips, work for tighter bedding and drainage around tanks.
