Materials for Miller City Projects

Decorative rock does a lot of the finish work on properties here, and it holds up in ground that stays damp. Rounded stone sheds water instead of trapping it, which suits beds and low spots.

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 a dry creek bed, line the run with larger rounded stone and finish the edges with smaller gravel. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

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

Lime Screenings are the crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe.

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

Ground and Conditions in Miller City

Miller City sits in Alexander County on 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, plus sand ridges and old channel scars.

The water table is high under most of it, and heavy rain has nowhere to go. A base built thin over that silt will pump and rut, so the base course has to be built to carry the load above the soft layer.

Across this part of the state, river bank caving and scour work on the banks, and runoff cuts channels across soft silty ground wherever it concentrates. Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Winters here are the mildest in Illinois, with limited freeze and thaw, so the working season runs almost year round. River stages still set the calendar, and spring high water can hold up bottomland work.
