Materials for Hinsdale Projects

Start with the base course. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill. Illinois yards also call it grade 8 or grade 9.

Top an existing drive or build up a compacted base with CA-6 or Driveway Gravel. For a path or garden walk that needs a finer, walkable surface, use Walkway Gravel.

Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for the same bedding and drainage work.

Smaller clean sizes finish tighter. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines that bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

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 work comes before any of it. Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down, and Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep.

Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and yards sell it screened.

Decorative stone rounds out a yard. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

River Gravel and Large River Rock handle bed borders, dry creek beds and downspout splash areas.

Ground and Conditions in Hinsdale

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay over clay-rich till. That ground sheds water rather than taking it, and flat lots have little fall to move it along.

Heavy summer downpours and spring snowmelt overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in older built-up areas. Where water sits against a foundation or under a drive, it softens the subgrade and the surface above it moves.

That is the case for a clean washed layer. CA-7, CA-11 or CA-16 chips carry water away from a footing, a downspout run or a French drain, while a fines-bearing material like CA-6 is built to compact and hold a surface.

Stream bank scour after heavy rain is a real concern along the DuPage, and rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Frost is the other driver. Long cold winters with many freeze and thaw cycles lift drives, walks and slabs every spring, and gravel surfaces stay soft until the ground drains.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.
