Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone Illinois yards call road base. It carries fines, so it packs into a firm surface for drives and pads on the clay ground here.

Materials for Flossmoor Projects

Grading and bed prep come first. Strip and rough out the grade, bring it up with fill, then finish with soil before anything hard goes down.

Fill Dirt raises grade and builds up low spots before a base course goes on. It is bulk fill, not a surface.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep. Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and yards sell it screened for spreading.

Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots where you want planting depth rather than plain backfill.

Once the grade is set, cap drives and parking pads with CA-6, also called CA6 or 3/4 dense grade.

Keep clean stone and fines-bearing stone apart. CA-7 and 3/4 inch clean stone shed water; CA-6 compacts.

Mixing the two does neither job well.

For decorative work, River Gravel rounds out beds and borders, and Natural Pea Gravel handles walkways and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Flossmoor

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay over dense till. Clay sheds water rather than taking it, and flat ground gives runoff little fall.

Heavy summer downpours and spring snowmelt overwhelm yard grades, so water has to be moved on purpose. Drainage stone and a graded surface do that work.

Frost is the other factor. Long cold winters with repeated freeze and thaw lift drives, walks and slabs, and gravel surfaces stay soft until the ground drains.

Frozen ground stops compaction through winter. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

Build your plan around that window. Order soil and fill for grading early, then bring in base stone once the ground has drained.
