Ground and Conditions in Rockford

A thin base course under a paver patio or a poured slab tells on itself fast here. Water sits, the surface pumps, and the joints open within a season.

Across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, tight till and a high water table hold water on the flat ground. Spring melt on frozen ground pushes it across the surface before it ever soaks in.

The fix is a base that carries load and a drainage layer that moves water away. CA-6 gives you the compacted base.

CA-7, the washed 1 inch clean stone, gives you the drainage layer under the slab or the pipe.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall, a little shorter than downstate. Frozen ground stops compaction in the winter, so grading and base work wait for open ground.

Materials for Rockford Projects

Bedding is where most flatwork is won or lost. Under pavers, flagstone and concrete, the bedding layer sets the final grade and spreads the load into the base beneath it.

Lime screenings, the crushed limestone fines Illinois yards sell for bedding, go down as the paver and flagstone bed. Torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand, does the same job under concrete and leveling courses.

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

Washed clean stone has no fines, so water runs through it. Use CA-7 for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

Use 3/4" Crushed Stone, CA-11, for the same work, and CA-16 Chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.

Pavers and flagstone bed on Lime Screenings. Concrete and leveling courses call for Washed Sand; brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes take Mason Sand.

Outside the flatwork, Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns, beds and raised plots. Fill Dirt raises grade before a base course goes down.

Questions Rockford Buyers Ask

What gravel is best for a driveway in Rockford?

CA-6, dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, is the Illinois base material for drives. It compacts into a firm surface and takes a top course of driveway gravel where you want a finer finish.

On ground that holds water, a clean stone layer under the base helps water move.
