Start with the base. CA-6, also called road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Materials for Lowpoint Projects

Grading and bed prep begin with soil and fill. Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and yards sell it screened for lawns and beds.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down. Set the grade first, then cap it with base.

Under the soil, the base course does the structural work. CA-6 is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads and trench backfill.

Washed stone handles water. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards sell for bedding and drainage. CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and topping a compacted base.

Sand and screenings finish the detail work. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Mason Sand is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding. They are the standard bedding layer in Illinois.

For beds and borders, River Gravel is rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

Ground and Conditions in Lowpoint

This is some of the flattest ground in the country, and the dense clay subsoil beneath it has almost no natural fall. Water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

Rain and snowmelt have nowhere to go on ground like that. A drainage layer of clean washed stone gives water a path instead of a puddle.

That is what CA-7 and CA-11 are for. Both are washed clean stone with no fines, so water moves through the voids rather than sitting in the material.

Across the Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois, the soil is deep, dark prairie silt loam over Wisconsin Episode till. Bare silt loam moves in sheet erosion, and runoff concentrates into gullies where it gathers.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring. Frost depth runs about 36 inches through most of central and eastern Illinois, rising toward the northern edge, and the local building department sets it.
