Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois runs under drives and pads. Then build the rest of the job around it: soil, sand, and clean stone.

Materials for Grand Ridge Projects

Grading and bed prep set the order of work here. Raise the grade with fill first, cap it with a compacted base, then finish with soil and sand where planting or masonry goes.

Fill Dirt is bulk fill for raising grade before a base course goes down. Spread it, shape it, and let it settle before anything goes on top.

Top Soil is screened Illinois prairie topsoil, dark and silty, for lawns, grading, and bed prep. Garden Soil is the richer mix for raised beds, vegetable plots, and planting areas.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

Washed stone handles water. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe and drainage trenches, and 3/4" Crushed Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for bedding, drainage, and concrete work.

For sand, Washed Sand is the coarse torpedo sand used in concrete, leveling, and bedding. Mason Sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes, and volleyball courts.

Ground and Conditions in Grand Ridge

Start with where the water goes. Across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, snowmelt and spring rain on frozen ground push water across the surface, and tight till on the flat ground holds it there.

That shapes what you put down. A fines-bearing material like CA-6 compacts into a base but does not drain, so drainage belongs to clean washed stone, not to the base course.

On ground that drains almost too fast, the same water disappears before it does any harm. Both conditions sit close together in this part of the state, so the ground under your own site decides the answer.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little shorter than downstate. Frozen ground stops compaction in the winter, so grading and base work wait for open ground.

Winters here bring repeated freeze and thaw and heavy frost action in unbound base and shallow footings. Frost depth runs about 42 inches across the northern counties, and the local building department sets it.

What stone should I use for drainage in Grand Ridge?

Use clean washed stone with no fines.
