Lime Screenings for Patios in Iuka, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Iuka, IL online, by the ton or by the yard, and Illinois Rock Supply tips it on your site. Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base.

It carries the drive and the pad under the patio.

Ground here sits on tight claypan subsoil. Water perches instead of draining away, so what goes under your flatwork matters as much as the surface.

Ground and Conditions in Iuka

Thin loess over old, weathered drift covers this part of the Southern till plain and claypan country. The claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down.

Winter and spring rain perches on top of it. Ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base pumps under traffic.

A thin base shows that failure first. Edges rut, pavers rock, and joints open before the surface ever looks worn.

Frequent freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. The season runs longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April.

Late summer and fall are the reliable windows.

Sheet and gully erosion follows where the thin loess is bared. Plan your grading and your drainage before the base goes down.

Materials for Iuka Projects

Bedding decides how a patio or walk performs. Get the layer under the pavers right and the surface stays flat through wet springs and heave.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Screed them level and pavers and flagstone sit true.

The same material backfills around pipe.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch washed chips. Use them for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks, and topping a compacted base.

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.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork. 3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone yards sell alongside it.

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.
