Lime Screenings for Patios in Heyworth, IL

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

On the Grand Prairie till plain, that base is what keeps a patio from moving.

Ground and Conditions in Heyworth

This is some of the flattest ground in the country, with dense clay subsoil under deep, dark prairie silt loams. Almost no natural fall means water stands instead of running after heavy rain.

Under a patio, a thin base fails first at the edges. Water sits on the clay, the bedding layer pumps, and the pavers rock out of line by the next spring.

The fix is a base that drains and a bedding layer that stays put. CA-6 builds the structural course.

Lime screenings level it and lock the pavers in place.

Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring across central and eastern Illinois. Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, so the ground moves under anything shallow.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.

Sheet erosion off bare silt loam is common where runoff concentrates. Riprap and clean stone armor the spots where water leaves a yard or a field edge.

Materials for Heyworth Projects

Bedding material under pavers and flatwork is where most patio jobs are won or lost. Pick the bedding for the surface going over it, and the base stays true.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Tamp them level under pavers, flagstone and patio slabs, and they hold a flat plane.

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

Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand, and Illinois yards sell it for concrete, leveling and bedding. Use it where a patio meets a slab or a step.

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

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Around the patio, Top Soil grades and preps beds, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture through an Illinois summer.
