Materials for Penfield Projects

Fill and sub-base carry the grade here. Flat ground with dense clay under it means the pad has to sit above the water, and that starts with the material below the surface course, not the stone on top.

Fill Dirt raises grade and builds up a pad before anything else goes down. Bring a low lot or a new building pad up first, then cap it.

CA-6 is the Illinois base material: dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines left in, the same idea under a secondary name. For a driveway or a pad that needs a compacted base, it works alongside CA-6.

For a drain, you want clean stone with no fines. CA-7 is washed 1 inch stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for bedding, drainage and concrete work.

Ground and Conditions in Penfield

The Grand Prairie till plain of central and eastern Illinois is flat to gently rolling, and the ground under it is dense clay. Almost no natural fall means water stands rather than runs after heavy rain.

An under-built base fails on that clay. A pad needs fill under it to lift the grade, then CA-6 on top so the surface course has something that holds together.

Bare silt loam also washes. Sheet erosion and gullying show up where field and yard runoff concentrates, and stream bank scour shows on the Sangamon, Mackinaw, Vermilion and Kaskaskia after heavy rain.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. The ground is slow to dry in a wet spring and frozen solid through the winter, so grade work and base work fit in that window.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Frost heave shows up in gravel drives, walks and shallow slabs each spring, and a building department sets the footing depth for a structure.

Questions About Material in Penfield

What is the best base under pavers in Penfield?

CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the compacted base under the bedding layer.

Lime Screenings go on top of it as the bedding layer that the pavers sit in. That pairing is standard in Illinois because the fines in CA-6 hold together on clay ground.
