Materials for Lisle Projects

Washed stone does the water work on this side of the state. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean stone with no fines, because fines hold water instead of letting it pass.

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

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone that yards sell alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch chips. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

For heavier water, rip rap is broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring. It is specified as gradations RR 3 through RR 7.

Where a project needs a compacted base rather than drainage, CA-6 is the material. It carries a driveway, a parking pad or a garage slab.

CA-6 is also sold as road base.

Above the base, driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. walkway gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable surface.

Sand and soil round out a project. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason sand is finer, for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe. Topsoil here is dark and silty, sold screened for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Ground and Conditions in Lisle

Base, driveway and paver 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.

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

Heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in the older built-up areas. That is why washed stone matters here: a drainage layer has to pass water, not hold it.

Frost is the other factor. 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.

Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code. The local building department sets the figure that applies to your project.
