Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base. It carries the fines that bind a drive or a parking pad together on the clay ground around Jefferson County.

Base and driveway surfacing is where most ground work here begins. CA-6, also written CA6 and sold as road base or 3/4 dense grade, is crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It builds up a driveway, a parking pad, a shed floor or a garage base, and it backfills a trench.

Top an existing drive with Driveway Gravel when the shape is already there. For a path or garden walk that needs a finer, walkable surface, use Walkway Gravel.

Crusher Run is the same idea as CA-6 under a secondary name.

Washed stone has no fines and lets water through. CA-7, the 1 inch clean stone also sold as #57 stone or binder stone, beds pipe and drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, known locally as CA-11 or sewer stone, does the same work at a smaller size. CA-16 chips, the 3/8 inch limestone chips, bed permeable pavers and top a compacted base.

Sand and soil finish the job. Torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell, goes into concrete and leveling.

Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes. Top Soil is screened for lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Decorative stone covers beds and borders. River Gravel is rounded and washed, for beds and dry creek beds, and Large River Rock handles downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Vernon

Water is the driver here. Rain and snowmelt come down on ground that will not take them in, and the claypan subsoil sits close enough to the surface to stop the water moving down.

It perches instead.

That is the pattern across the Southern till plain and claypan country. Ground stays saturated for weeks, and an unbound base sitting on saturated clay pumps and loses its shape under traffic.

A clean washed layer under the base gives that water somewhere to go.

The same ground moves when it freezes and thaws. Winters are shorter than upstate, but the swings come often, and heaving works on drives and walks built over wet clay.

Frost depth is set by the local building department, not by the material supplier.

Timing matters as much as material. A wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April.

Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading, hauling and compacting.

Erosion follows the same water. Bare loess erodes in sheets and gullies, and banks scour where runoff concentrates.

Rip rap, the heavy broken stone specified as RR 3 through RR 7, armors a bank, a culvert outlet or a pond edge.
