Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone this part of Illinois calls road base. It carries a driveway, a parking pad, or a shed base over the tight claypan ground south central Illinois is known for.

Materials for Shipman Projects

CA-6 is the base material for this market. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it knits into a firm surface under a drive, a parking pad, a garage slab, or a trench backfill.

Pair it with the clean washed stone Illinois specifies by number. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 1 inch and 3/4 inch clean sizes, and both work as bedding under pipe, in drainage trenches, and around concrete flatwork.

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

Below the stone, the sand and soil layers matter just as much. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete and leveling, and lime screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

Finish the yard with Top Soil for lawns and bed prep, River Gravel for beds and dry creek beds, and RipRap for bank protection and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Shipman

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 the ground stays saturated for weeks.

That matters for a base. Unbound stone over saturated clay pumps under traffic and loses its shape, so the base has to shed water rather than trap it.

A clean drainage layer under the fines-bearing material gives the water somewhere to go.

Freeze and thaw swings work on that saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth in this part of Illinois runs about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets the figure it uses for footings.

The working season is longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading and placing base.
