Ground and Conditions in Odin

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the subsoil is tight and stops water moving down. Rain perches on top of it and ground stays saturated for weeks.

A thin base over that ground shows the failure fast. The saturated subgrade pumps under traffic and the surface above it breaks up.

The fix is a base course that carries load over the soft layer instead of sitting in it. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the Illinois base material for that job.

Freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth in this part of Illinois runs about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets the figure for footings.

Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and base work here. A wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April.

Materials for Odin Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the wrong pick shows up first. A patio or walk needs a bedding layer that holds grade and lets water move, and it needs a compacted base under that.

CA-6 is the base course. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it links to CA-6.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

For the bedding layer, lime screenings are crushed limestone fines. They are the standard bedding layer in Illinois for pavers and flagstone, and they also backfill around pipe.

Order them at Lime Screenings.

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding. It links to Washed Sand.

Mason sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts, at Mason Sand.

Where a drain or a French drain runs beside the flatwork, the clean stone is CA-7. It is washed with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and concrete flatwork.

Order it at CA-7.

Around the edges of a patio, topsoil and shredded mulch finish the planting beds. Screened topsoil goes at Top Soil, and shredded hardwood mulch holds moisture through an Illinois summer at Shredded Mulch.
