Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds drives and pads from. Deep loess on the uplands sheds water fast, so a walk or drive here lives on what sits under it.

Ground and Conditions in Fults

Fults sits in Monroe County, where deep loess covers older drift on rolling uplands, with dissected bluffs and steep ravines cutting through. Limestone with sinkhole karst runs under parts of the Monroe and Randolph sinkhole plain.

Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. In the sinkhole country, water disappears into the ground instead of running to a ditch.

A thin base fails first at the edges. Ruts open where the subgrade never drained and the surface stone had nothing under it to hold shape.

The fix is a base that carries the load and a surface layer matched to the traffic. On a path, that means fines and screenings rather than a coarse open stone.

Gully and rill erosion in loess is the other problem on steep ground. Slumping on cut slopes and collapse around sinkholes follow concentrated runoff.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Bottomland sites wait out spring high water on the Mississippi and Illinois.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. No frost figure was researched for Fults, so check with the local building department on footing depth.

Materials for Fults Projects

Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Bed pavers and flagstone on them, and backfill around pipe with them.

Screenings also surface a garden walk. They pack tight underfoot and hold a clean edge, which is what a path needs.

CA-6 is the base material to know. Dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Use it under drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. Bed pipe on it, line a drainage trench or French drain with it, and use it under concrete flatwork.

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason sand is the finer, cleaner sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

For decorative work, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix. River Gravel and Large River Rock handle beds, borders and dry creek beds.
