Materials for Galatia Projects

Decorative stone does a lot of work on these hillside lots. Beds, borders and the hollows that carry runoff all take rounded stone well.

River Gravel fills beds and borders and reads as a natural dry creek bed where water crosses a lawn. Large River Rock handles heavier decorative work, downspout splash areas and the bigger dry creek beds.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded washed gravel for walkways, play areas and drainage. It is also the stone mixed into fence post holes.

Ground cover is the other half of the job. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through an Illinois summer.

Top Soil and Garden Soil rebuild the thin ground before planting.

Under all of it, hard surfaces still want a compacted base. CA-6 is that base for driveways, parking pads, garage and shed floors and trench backfill.

Bedding and drainage run on clean washed stone. CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone bed pipe and drain trenches.

Lime Screenings set pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Galatia

Across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands, the ground is unglaciated hill country of sandstone and limestone. Soils are thin and rock sits close to the surface.

Steep ground pushes runoff into narrow hollows quickly, and thin soil over rock stores very little water. Heavy rain arrives in large amounts at once.

An under-built base shows up fast here. Water moving under a drive or pad carries fines out and the surface starts to move, so the base course has to be the right material and the right depth for the load.

Plan for a drainage layer under anything that holds water. Clean washed stone such as CA-7 lets water through instead of ponding against a slab or a wall.

Fast runoff also scours hillside drives and culvert outlets and cuts gullies into unsurfaced tracks. RipRap armors those spots: culvert outlets, pond edges and cut banks that slump after a wet spell.

The working season runs from late winter into early winter, the longest in the state. Wet weather and soft hillside access limit work more than frozen ground does.

Freeze and thaw still happen, and frost depth in the far southern counties runs about 30 inches, set by the local building department.
