Start with the ground you are building on. Fairbury sits on deep, dark prairie silt loams over clay, and that soil shapes every grading and bed prep job here.

Materials for Fairbury Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most Fairbury jobs. Raise the grade, level it, then cap it with the right surface.

Fill and Soil

Fill Dirt raises grade before anything goes on top. Spread it, compact it, and build your base course over it.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty. Use it for lawns, regrading and bed prep.

Garden Soil goes into raised beds, vegetable plots and planting areas.

Base and Washed Stone

CA-6, also called road base, is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. Use it under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe and feeds drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold locally as CA-11, is the clean washed stone that pairs with CA-7 for bedding and concrete work.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe.

Sand

Washed Sand, called torpedo sand in Illinois, is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is fine clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Decorative

River Gravel and Large River Rock dress beds, borders and dry creek beds. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Fairbury

This is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil underneath and almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

That is why so much farmland across the Grand Prairie till plain is tile drained. Yards and drives work the same way.

Plan where storm water and snowmelt go before you order. A clean washed stone layer gives that water somewhere to travel.

Sheet erosion off bare silt loam is the other problem. Bare ground sheds soil fast, so get topsoil seeded or covered instead of leaving it open.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.

Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, and your local building department sets the figure it wants.

What stone should I use for drainage in Fairbury?

Use clean washed stone, never a fines-bearing base. CA-7 and CA-11 both work for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, and CA-7 also beds pipe.

For smaller drainage around tanks or permeable paver bedding, CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch washed size.
