Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois builds on. It sets the base for drives, pads and shed floors, and it holds up on the tight ground around here.

Materials for Patoka Projects

CA-6, also called road base, is crushed limestone with the fines left in. It compacts into a firm, bound surface for driveways, parking pads, garage and shed bases, and trench backfill.

Top an existing drive with Driveway Gravel, or start fresh with CA-6 and finish over it. Crusher Run is the same idea under a secondary name, stone and fines together for base and drives.

Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it. CA-7 is the one inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same work at a smaller size.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base. Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

Sand comes two ways. Washed Sand, which yards here call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

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

For ground that needs building up, Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down. Top Soil finishes lawns and beds, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and vegetable plots.

Decorative stone rounds out a project. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

River Gravel and Large River Rock dress beds, borders and dry creek beds. RipRap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Patoka

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the subsoil sits tight and close to the surface. Rain and snowmelt stop moving down and perch on top of it instead.

That leaves ground saturated for weeks. An unbound base over wet clay pumps under traffic and loses its shape, so a drive or pad needs clean stone where water has to escape.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Sheet and gully erosion cuts in where the thin loess is bared, and bank scour works on the streams that cross this part of the state.

The working season runs longer than upstate at both ends. A wet winter and spring still keep sites soft well into April, so late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and base work.

Winters here are cold but shorter than the north, with frequent freeze and thaw swings. That cycle works on saturated clay and heaves drives and walks, which is why the base matters more than the surface.
