Materials for Palos Heights Projects

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds the compacted layer under a driveway, a parking pad, a shed floor or a garage slab, and it backfills trenches.

Order it as CA-6 and say road base if that is the term you use.

For the surface layer over that base, driveway gravel tops an existing drive or a fresh base, and walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

Washed stone

Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it. CA-7 beds pipe, lines drainage trenches and sits under concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the same 3/4 inch washed size sold as CA-11, and CA-16 Chips at 3/8 inch bed permeable pavers and top a compacted base.

Sand, soil and decorative stone

Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is finer, for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

On the decorative side, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas, while River Gravel and Large River Rock handle beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Palos Heights

Across the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines, the ground is heavy silt and clay, with clay-rich till inland. Clay sheds water rather than takes it, and flat ground gives that water little fall to work with.

So a base course has to sit above a drainage layer, not in standing water. Clean washed stone is what carries water away; a fines-bearing material holds it.

Heavy summer downpours overwhelm yard grades and storm sewers in the older built-up areas. Sheet wash off bare clay lots moves soil fast, which is why grading and a surface cover go on together.

Frost is the other constraint. Long cold winters with many freeze and thaw cycles lift drives, walks and slabs every spring and leave gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, because frozen ground stops compaction and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay.
