Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this market calls road base. It packs into a firm pad for patios, sheds and drives.

Ground and Conditions in Seaton

Skip the base and the surface tells on you. Pavers rock, joints open, and a patio edge sinks where the ground settled unevenly.

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, deep loess sits over older drift. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That split matters under a patio. Water that pools in a flat has nowhere to go, so it works into the subgrade and softens it.

Gully and rill erosion in loess is a real driver on steep ground nearby. On a flat lot the same soil keeps moisture instead of shedding it.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall here, a little longer than upstate. Plan the excavation and the base for that window.

Cold winters bring freeze and thaw, and frost still lifts drives and walks each spring. A footing depth of about 36 to 40 inches is set by the local building department.

Materials for Seaton Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork decides how the finished surface sits. Get that layer right and the patio stays flat.

Lime screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Crushed limestone fines bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe.

CA-6 is the base course under that bedding. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it compacts into a firm pad.

CA-7 is washed clean stone with no fines. Use it for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches, French drains and concrete flatwork.

CA-16 chips are the small 3/8 inch chips. They bed permeable pavers, drain around tanks and top a compacted base.

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell. It goes into concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason sand is the finer clean sand. It goes into brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.

For a walk or a garden path, walkway gravel gives a finer surface. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mix.

Rip rap handles bank protection, culvert outlets and pond edges. It is heavy broken stone, specified locally as gradations RR 3 through RR 7.
