Materials for McClure Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of the work here, because beds, borders and dry creek beds all want stone that looks right and stays put. Rounded stone is the place to start for that.

River Gravel is the rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds, downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work.

For paths and garden walks, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface than a driveway mix. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways, play areas and drainage.

Under the decorative layer, the base still has to be right. CA-6 is the dense graded crushed limestone for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Ground and Conditions in McClure

Across the Cairo lowland and the southern river bottoms, the ground is flat alluvial bottomland with deep silt, sand and clay laid down by the rivers. Sand ridges and old channel scars run through it, and the water table sits high under most of it.

This is the lowest ground in the state, and much of it sits behind levees and drainage districts. Backwater holds water on the land, and heavy rain has nowhere to go.

That matters for what you build on. Soft silty ground and a high water table punish an under-built base, so the base course has to be the right material and the right thickness for the job.

Erosion follows the same pattern. River bank caving and scour, overbank flooding and wash across soft ground all show up wherever runoff concentrates.

RipRap is the heavy broken stone for bank protection, culvert outlets, pond edges and slope armoring.

Winters here are the mildest in Illinois, with limited freeze and thaw, so the ground rarely stays frozen for long. Work is possible almost year round, but river stages set the calendar, and spring and early summer high water can shut bottomland sites for weeks.

Where water needs to move, clean washed stone does the job. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.
