New Salem sits in Pike County, where deep loess covers older drift on rolling uplands. That ground sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats, so drainage material matters as much as base material.

Materials for New Salem Projects

Start with the washed stone, because that is where most of the drainage work in this county begins. Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling.

Use it for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

For a base course, CA-6 is the Illinois name for dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It goes down under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Above that base, driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. walkway gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable surface.

At the fine end, lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe. Torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell, goes into concrete and leveling.

Mason sand handles brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Delivery to New Salem and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your delivery date at checkout. You choose the quantity by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on site in one pile.

Coverage runs across New Salem and the rest of Pike County, including Pittsfield, Barry, Griggsville, Pleasant Hill and Hull. If your site is in one of those places, the same delivery applies.

Have the drop area clear before the truck arrives. A tipped pile needs room, and the material stays where it lands.

Ground and Conditions in New Salem

Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. Time a delivery around that window, because ground conditions change fast once the season turns.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats. On rolling uplands, that means a clean drainage layer under a base does real work.

Gully and rill erosion in loess is common on steep bluffs and ravines, and slumping shows up on cut slopes. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where runoff concentrates.

Freeze and thaw lifts drives and walks each spring. A compacted CA-6 base handles that movement better than a fines-free surface layer alone.
