CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the base material this part of Illinois builds on. It goes under driveways, parking pads, garage slabs and trench backfill, and it links to road base in the yard vocabulary.

Materials for Hebron Projects

A path or a garden walk needs a surface that stays walkable, and that is where fines and screenings do their work. The fines bind together and give you a firm, smooth top that does not punish a wheelbarrow or a pair of boots.

Lime Screenings, the Chicago area name for screenings, are crushed limestone fines. They bed pavers and flagstone, surface paths, and backfill around pipe.

Illinois yards treat them as the standard bedding layer.

Walkway Gravel covers paths and garden walks that want a finer surface underfoot. It saves you from a loose stone top that shifts with every step.

For a walk that has to drain, CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch washed stone size. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks, and top off a compacted base without holding water.

CA-6 is the base course that goes underneath all of it. You can order it as road base, and it also carries the secondary name Crusher Run when the fines are left in the mix.

For decorative work, River Gravel fills beds, borders and dry creek beds, and Natural Pea Gravel handles walkways and play areas where a rounded surface works better.

Ground and Conditions in Hebron

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground runs to heavy silt and clay, with dense till inland. That kind of soil sheds water rather than takes it, so a thin base shows its failure fast.

Flat ground gives water little fall, and heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades. A drive or pad sitting on too little stone pumps, ruts and settles at the edges after a wet stretch.

The fix is a properly compacted CA-6 base over the subgrade, with a clean washed stone layer where drainage has to move water away. Lime screenings then go on top for a path or a paver bed.

Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall.

Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay. Plan the order around that window.

Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code, and the local building department sets it.

Common Questions

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the delivery spot clear and firm, with room for a dump truck to reach it and turn around. Keep the area free of overhead lines, low branches and parked vehicles.

A tarp or board under the pile is optional. The driver tips the load in one pile and does not place or spread it, so pick a spot where the pile can sit until you move it.

What is the best base under pavers in Hebron?

CA-6 is the base course under pavers, compacted over the subgrade so the load spreads and the surface stays level. On top of it, Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois, at a depth that lets you set and level each paver.

Where water has to drain, a clean washed stone such as CA-7 or CA-11 goes below the base to move it away.
