Materials for Omaha Projects

Pathways are where the fine material earns its place. Lime screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards sell for bedding, knit into a smooth walkable crust.

Order Lime Screenings for paver bedding, flagstone setting and any path that needs a tight, even finish.

A compacted base goes under that bedding. CA-6, also called road base, is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

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

Order CA-6 where the ground is soft or the slope is steep. Its fines bind the stone into a surface that resists scuffing from fast runoff.

For a path that stays loose and walkable, use a washed stone. CA-16 chips are the 3/8 inch chips used for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

Order CA-16 Chips for garden walks and utility strips.

Clean stone handles water, not load. CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone, sits alongside it. Order CA-7 or 3/4" Crushed Stone where a path crosses wet ground.

Top the whole thing with a decorative layer. River gravel is rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds, and Natural Pea Gravel suits play areas and fence post mix.

Order River Gravel or 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel to finish a walk.

Ground and Conditions in Omaha

This is unglaciated hill country across the Shawnee Hills and the southern uplands. Soils are thin and rock sits close to the surface, with loess on the ridge tops and narrow valley bottoms carrying silt and gravel.

Thin ground over rock has nowhere to store water. Steep slopes push runoff into the hollows fast, and heavy rain arrives in large amounts at once.

That is when a shallow base shows its weakness.

A path laid on bare soil scours out under the first hard rain. Fast water lifts the fines, cuts a channel down the middle, and leaves stone sitting loose on rock.

The fix is a compacted CA-6 base that sheds water sideways instead of letting it sit. On a slope, keep clean stone at the edges so water has somewhere to go.

The working season runs from late winter into early winter, the longest in the state. Wet weather and soft access are the real limits here, not frozen ground.
