Materials for Libertyville Projects

Start with what the ground needs before anything goes on top. Fill dirt raises grade and builds up a pad, and CA-6 then goes down as the compacted sub-base over it.

That order matters on the clay ground around here. A pad built up on fill and capped with CA-6 gives you a stable surface for a garage, a shed or a parking area.

For a driveway, CA-6 is the base course, and driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. crusher run is crushed stone with the fines left in, the same idea as CA-6 under a secondary name.

For a patio or a walk, lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone. walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.

For drainage, clean washed stone is the material. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that goes alongside CA-7 for bedding and concrete work. RipRap is heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Libertyville

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay with clay-rich till inland. That soil sheds water rather than taking it, and flat ground has little fall.

Heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades, so an under-built base turns soft and pumps. Build the base to suit the soil rather than the surface you want on top.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.

Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code, and the local building department sets it. Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

Questions About Material in Libertyville

What is the best base under pavers in Libertyville?

CA-6 is the compacted sub-base, and lime screenings are the bedding layer the pavers sit in. Screenings are crushed limestone fines, the standard bedding in Illinois, and they let you level each paver without the coarse stone underneath shifting.

On the clay ground here, the CA-6 base is what keeps the surface from moving when the soil stays wet.
