Ground and Conditions in Pembroke Township

Pembroke Township sits in Kankakee County, on the outwash sand and clay-rich ground of the Chicago lake plain and the northeastern moraines. Clay and dense till shed water rather than take it, and flat ground has little fall.

A thin base course fails first where water stands. The surface stays soft, ruts form under tires, and the edges break away.

The correction is a thicker compacted course of material that carries fines, so the surface tightens instead of pumping.

Long winters with many freeze and thaw cycles work on the same ground. Gravel surfaces stay soft until the ground drains.

Northeastern Illinois jurisdictions carry a frost depth of about 42 inches in the residential code, and the local building department sets that figure. That number applies to footings, not to a driveway or a path.

Materials for Pembroke Township Projects

Fine material is what makes a path or walkway work. Lime screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, are crushed limestone fines.

They bed pavers and flagstone, backfill around pipe, and top a compacted base into a tight, walkable surface.

Think of screenings as the finish layer, not the whole path. Walkways and garden walks often sit on a compacted base with screenings on top.

Walkway Gravel covers paths that need a finer surface with less dust.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Pair it with road base on a first order and stay with CA-6 after that. CA-6 is the material to build the base course from.

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

CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

Smaller chips finish tight work. CA-16 chips are 3/8 inch limestone chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Natural Pea Gravel and river gravel handle decorative beds and borders.

Sand, soil and mulch round out a project. Torpedo sand is coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling.

Mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar and paver joints. Screened topsoil and garden soil cover lawns and beds.
