Lime Screenings for Patios in Robinson, IL

If you are bedding a patio, a walk or a garage pad in Robinson, gravel and aggregate delivery in Robinson, IL starts with the layer under the pavers. Illinois Rock Supply sells that bedding material, plus the CA-6 base and clean stone that go under and around it.

You are working on claypan ground, so the material below the surface matters as much as the pavers on top of it.

Ground and Conditions in Robinson

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, and ground stays saturated for weeks.

That is where a thin base fails first. Unbound stone pumps under traffic and the surface above it moves.

The fix is a base course with the fines left in, built over ground that has been shaped to shed water. CA-6 is the material for that base.

Freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. The season here runs longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet spring keeps sites soft well into April.

Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and for moving bulk material.

Materials for Robinson Projects

The layer under pavers and flatwork does the quiet work. Get it wrong and the surface above it shows every problem.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer for pavers and flagstone in Illinois. They pack into a firm, even bed that lets you set each unit flat.

Screenings also backfill around pipe, where you want fines that hold their place.

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

Under a patio, CA-6 is the compacted base course and the screenings are the bedding course above it.

For drainage and concrete work, CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines, from 3/4 inch to 1 inch.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold here as CA-11, is the clean washed stone yards stock alongside CA-7 for the same jobs.

Where you need a finer clean chip, CA-16 Chips run about 3/8 inch. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.
