Materials for Kilbourne Projects

Decorative rock does a lot of the finish work around Kilbourne homes, and it is a good place to start when you are planning beds and borders. Rounded stone covers ground, edges planting areas and handles the spots where water runs off a roof or a slope.

River Gravel is the rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. It lays down as ground cover and reads as a finished surface rather than a working one.

Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone, used for dry creek beds, downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work. It holds position on a slope better than smaller rounded stone.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways, play areas, fence post mix and drainage. It works where you want a finer, walkable surface.

For the hard-working layers under and around those beds, CA-6 is the base for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Clean washed stone handles water. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

For a finer decorative or drainage layer, CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

Ground and Conditions in Kilbourne

Across the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, the ground is deep wind-blown and river-laid sand left by meltwater floods, with silt and clay on the low bottoms. Sand takes water quickly and holds almost none.

That changes what an under-built base does. A base that washes and settles is the problem here, not one that stays wet.

Loose sandy ground under a drive ruts where water crosses it.

Wind moves bare sand, so exposed ground cover and beds benefit from being covered rather than left open. On the low bottoms, the Illinois River coming up is the driver, and those areas flood.

The sandy ground dries and works early in the spring, and work runs into late fall. Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, though open sand drains well and heaves less than the clay ground on the uplands either side.

Frost depth is set by the local building department.
