Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone Illinois yards call road base. It carries the fines that bind a drive or a pad together.

Ground and Conditions in Good Hope

This part of the state sits on deep loess over older drift on rolling uplands. Loess sheds water fast on a slope and holds it in the flats, so a base can stay soft long after a rain.

Where the base under pavers or flatwork is thin, wet soil moves and the surface above it follows. Ruts open, slabs rock, and paver joints crack along the same line every season.

The fix is a base course that spreads the load over ground that drains. CA-6, compacted and graded, does that work under a driveway, a parking pad, or a shed floor.

Gully and rill erosion cuts loess on steeper ground, and concentrated runoff does the most damage. Aim water away from the edge of the base before the surface goes down.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring.

Materials for Good Hope Projects

Bedding is where most flatwork succeeds or fails. The layer under pavers, steps, and slabs has to sit flat, drain, and stay put while the surface is set.

Match the bedding to the finish above it.

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Packed limestone fines hold a paver or flagstone bed level and let water move under it.

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete and for leveling beds. It is the sand to specify when the mix calls for concrete sand.

Mason Sand is finer and cleaner. Use it for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes, and volleyball courts.

Under the bedding, CA-6 builds the base course. It is also the surface for gravel drives, parking pads, garage floors, and trench backfill.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. It beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and French drains, and goes under concrete flatwork.

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

For a walkable path or garden walk, Walkway Gravel gives a finer surface. Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns, grading, and raised beds.
