This is claypan country. Water perches on tight subsoil and sits, so what goes under a paver or a slab matters as much as the surface.

Ground and Conditions in Martinsville

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the subsoil sits tight and close to the surface. Rain stops moving down and perches instead, and the ground stays saturated for weeks.

That is where a thin base fails first. Unbound stone over saturated clay pumps under load, the fines work up, and the surface rutts and shifts.

Freeze and thaw swings work on the same saturated ground and heave drives and walks. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches where the local building department sets it.

The season runs longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for hauling and grading.

Sheet and gully erosion shows up where the thin loess is bared. Bank scour and flooding along the Wabash on the eastern edge of the state are the regional drivers.

Materials for Martinsville Projects

Start with bedding. A paver patio, a walkway or a slab over claypan needs a base that sheds water and a bedding layer that stays flat, and the material choice decides which you get.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It compacts into a tight, load-bearing layer for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Over CA-6, bedding does the finish work. Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards call screenings, and they are the standard bedding layer under pavers and flagstone.

They also backfill around pipe.

Where water has to move, switch to clean stone. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at 3/4 inch.

For tighter bedding, CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks. Washed Sand, or torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.
