CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.

In this part of the state, loess soils shed water fast on slopes, so what sits under a drive matters.

Materials for New Windsor Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection starts with coarse, open stone. Heavy broken stone armors a bank, a culvert outlet or a pond edge, and clean washed stone lets water move instead of ponding behind it.

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

#4 Crushed Stone is 1 1/2 inch clean stone for construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

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

3/4" Crushed Stone is the CA-11 size, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

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

Ground and Conditions in New Windsor

Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little longer than upstate. On the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border side, loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That split drives material choice. A slope needs coarse stone that stays put and lets water run, while a flat that holds water needs clean washed stone underneath so it can drain.

Gully and rill erosion in loess on steep bluffs and ravines is the pattern to plan around, along with slumping on cut slopes and bank scour. RipRap and #4 Crushed Stone armor those faces; CA-7 and CA-11 handle the drainage behind them.

Frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. The local building department sets the frost depth it wants used, so check with them before you design anything structural.
