Materials for Shelbyville Projects

Decorative rock does a lot of the finish work around a Shelbyville yard. River Gravel is rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds, downspout splash areas and heavier decorative work.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded washed gravel for walkways, play areas and drainage. Shredded Mulch covers beds and tree rings and holds moisture through an Illinois summer.

For a driveway, start with CA-6 as the compacted base and top it with Driveway Gravel. A patio or walk needs a bedding layer under the pavers.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines for paver and flagstone bedding. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.

For a drain, clean washed stone lets water move. CA-7, sold as 1 inch clean stone, beds pipe and fills drainage trenches with no fines to hold water back.

Ground and Conditions in Shelbyville

Shelbyville sits in Southern till plain and claypan country. Loess covers old, weathered Illinoian drift, and a tight claypan subsoil sits under it.

That 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.

An under-built base pumps under traffic when the ground is saturated. CA-6 with its fines left in knits together into a compacted layer, which is why it is the base material here.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Sheet and gully erosion shows up where the thin loess is bared, and bank scour works on streams through the county.

The working season runs longer than upstate at both ends. A wet winter and spring still keep sites soft well into April, so late summer and fall are the reliable windows.

Winters are cold but shorter than in the north, with frequent freeze and thaw swings that work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth is set by the local building department.
