Lime Screenings for Pathways in Keyesport, IL

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Keyesport, IL online, by the ton or by the yard, and Illinois Rock Supply tips it on your site. Start with CA-6, the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Ground here is tight. Claypan subsoil sits close to the surface across the Southern till plain and claypan country, so water perches instead of draining down.

Ground and Conditions in Keyesport

Thin loess over old, weathered drift, with a claypan that stops water moving down. Spring rain sits on top of it, ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base pumps under traffic.

That is the failure a thin base shows here. A shallow layer of clean stone never locks into anything; it rolls, migrates and disappears into the soft subgrade.

The fix is a fines-bearing base that compacts and sheds the load, plus a clean drainage layer where water needs somewhere to go. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for this work.

Winters run shorter than upstate, but frequent freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. The local building department sets footing depth in this part of Illinois.

Materials for Keyesport Projects

Fines and screenings carry paths and walks here. Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, the standard bedding layer in Illinois for pavers and flagstone and for backfill around pipe.

Compacted screenings knit into a firm, walkable surface. Use them to bed pavers, top a base course, or surface a garden path that sees foot traffic all season.

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.

For paths that want a finer finish, Walkway Gravel gives a walkable surface. Washed Sand, sold as torpedo sand in Illinois yards, beds and levels under concrete and pavers.

Where water has to move, CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains. 3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for concrete work.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Questions About Keyesport Orders

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure the truck can reach it from the road. The driver tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot where that pile can sit without blocking a door, a drain or a walkway.

Soft ground after a wet spring can stop a loaded truck, so a firm, dry approach helps.

What is the best base under pavers in Keyesport?

CA-6 gives you a compacted base course that carries the load, then lime screenings bed the pavers on top. The claypan subsoil here holds water, so the base needs to shed it rather than sit in it.

Use CA-7 where you need a clean drainage layer beneath the base.
