Materials for Earlville Projects

CA-6 leads the list because base work leads the work. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knuckles down under a plate and holds a drive, a parking pad, a shed floor or a garage slab base.

Use it as the layer under the surface, or as the surface itself where a packed, dustier finish is fine.

For the wearing course, driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted CA-6 base. It spreads and packs into a tidier finish than the base stone under it.

Clean stone does the water work. CA-7 is washed with no fines, the 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean stone Illinois yards stock beside it for the same bedding and drainage jobs.

Smaller clean sizes close the gaps. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks, and topping a compacted base.

Sand and soil finish the job. Coarse washed sand, what Illinois yards call torpedo sand, goes into concrete, leveling and bedding, and Washed Sand is the bag to open for it.

Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts. Top Soil screens dark and silty for lawns, grading and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Decorative stone dresses the edges. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded, washed gravel for walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

River Gravel and Large River Rock cover beds, borders and dry creek beds, with the bigger stone taking downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work.

Riprap protects what water attacks. Heavy broken stone armors bank edges, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes.

Ground and Conditions in Earlville

Start with where the water goes, because across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country that decides what you build with. Snowmelt and spring rain run across ground that is still frozen underneath, and tight till on the flat ground holds a high water table.

On a drive or a pad, that means the base course and the drainage layer get designed for water, not for traffic alone. Clean stone like CA-7 or CA-11 under a pipe run or a French drain gives water somewhere to move.

CA-6, with its fines, packs into a tight base for the surfaces above it.

Sand plains in this part of the state drain almost too fast, and wind moves bare sand. Bare ground there wants cover: topsoil and seed, gravel, or mulch.

Steeper slopes and bluff edges lose ground to gully and sheet erosion, which is where riprap earns its place.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little shorter than downstate. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, so base work is a warm-month job.

Winters here are among the coldest in the state, with repeated freeze and thaw and heavy frost action in unbound base and shallow footings. Frost depth runs about 42 inches across the northern counties, and the local building department sets it for footings.
