Sheridan sits on the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, where loamy prairie soils over dolomite hold water after snowmelt and spring rain. That ground decides how a path or pad gets built here.

Ground and Conditions in Sheridan

A path fails at the edges first. Water crosses the surface on frozen ground, works into the shoulder, and the fines wash out of the surface course.

Then the path ruts, the edges crumble, and every spring you add another bucket of stone to the same low spot. The fix is a base that carries the load and a surface that sheds water instead of trapping it.

Tight till and a high water table on the flat ground make that worse. Sand plains in this part of the state drain almost too fast, but the flat ground around Sheridan does not.

Working seasons run from the spring thaw into late fall, shorter than downstate. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, so base work belongs in the open months.

Frost action is heavy in unbound base and shallow footings across the northern counties. Frost depth is about 42 inches there, and the local building department sets the figure for footings.

Materials for Sheridan Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and garden walks. They bed pavers, surface walks, and backfill around pipe.

CA-6, also called CA6 or road base, is the Illinois base material. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

Use it as the compacted base under a path or pad, then top it.

Lime Screenings are crushed limestone fines, and they are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Bed pavers and flagstone on screenings, and backfill around pipe with them.

Screenings also top a compacted base and give a walk a firm, walkable surface.

Walkway Gravel surfaces paths and garden walks that need a finer finish. Pair it with a CA-6 base underneath.

CA-16 Chips are 3/8 inch chips. Use them for permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks, and topping a compacted base.

Torpedo Sand is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding. Mason Sand is finer and clean, for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts.
