Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Hamburg, IL

On the rolling loess uplands above the Mississippi bottomlands, water moves fast on slopes and sits in the flats.

Pick your material and quantity, choose a delivery date, and a dump truck arrives with the load.

Ground and Conditions in Hamburg

Loess sheds water quickly on a slope. On the flats it holds, and a thin base course gives way under a loaded truck.

Fix it with the right material and enough of it. CA-6, also called CA6 or road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Those fines bind the stone into a firm, compactable surface for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, gully and rill erosion cuts steep bluffs and ravines. Concentrated runoff also collapses ground around sinkholes.

On a long slope or near a ravine, a clean washed stone drainage layer under the base keeps water from working at the edges.

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.

Cold winters still freeze and thaw, and frost lifts drives and walks each spring.

Materials for Hamburg Projects

For paths and garden walks, start with the fines. Lime screenings, which Illinois yards also call limestone screenings or stone dust, are crushed limestone fines that bed pavers and flagstone and surface a walk that stays firm underfoot.

Order lime screenings for path and paver bedding.

Topping a compacted base with a finer, walkable surface is walkway gravel. For loose decorative paths and beds, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded washed gravel that stays easy to rake.

Where a path crosses wet ground, drainage decides the build. CA-7, sold as #57 stone, 1 inch clean stone or binder stone, is washed clean stone with no fines.

Use it for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork. CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone, does the same work at a smaller size.

Order CA-7 as 57 stone.

For heavier drainage, drain rock is clean washed stone for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. On steep ground, RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.
