Lime Screenings for Patios in Modoc, IL

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Modoc, IL runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than it does upstate. Illinois Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Randolph County by the ton or the yard.

Start with CA-6, this market's road base, for the structural work. Then choose the bedding layer that goes under your pavers and flatwork.

Ground and Conditions in Modoc

This part of the state sits on deep loess over older drift, with rolling uplands, dissected bluffs and steep ravines. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

A thin base is where that shows up first. Water reaches the subgrade, the bedding layer moves, and patio or walkway pavers settle out of plane.

The fix is a base that is thick enough and a bedding layer that stays put. Lime screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois for a reason.

Erosion is the other local driver. Gully and rill erosion in loess on steep bluffs and ravines, plus slumping on cut slopes, means runoff control matters around any new pad.

Frost lifts drives and walks each spring across the region. Work around it by scheduling your delivery for the window the ground is open.

Materials for Modoc Projects

Bedding is the layer that decides how a paver or flagstone surface performs. Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are what Illinois yards sell for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe.

Lime Screenings compact into a firm, level bed that holds a patio or walkway in plane.

The base under the bedding is CA-6, also called CA6 or 3/4 dense grade.

Use it for drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill. CA-6

Where water needs to move rather than sit, switch to clean washed stone. CA-7 is 1 inch clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean stone sold alongside it. CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone

Concrete takes torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards call it, for the mix and for leveling. Mason sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.
