Lime Screenings for Patios in Sugar Grove, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Sugar Grove, IL to contractors and homeowners working on the same streets. Patios, paver walks and shed pads all start the same way: a compacted CA-6 base, then a bedding layer that lets the surface sit flat.

This part of Kane County sits on clay-rich ground, so what goes under the pavers matters as much as what you see on top.

Ground and Conditions in Sugar Grove

Clay-rich glacial till sheds water instead of taking it. On a patio or walk, that shows up first at the edges, where a thin base lets the surface rock and the joints open.

The fix is a base course that carries the load and a bedding layer that drains. CA-6, also called road base or 3/4 dense grade, is the Illinois base material for this work.

It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it compacts into a firm, stable layer under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and a wet spring keeps crews off soft clay. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall.

Frost lifts drives, walks and slabs every spring and leaves gravel surfaces soft until the ground drains.

Materials for Sugar Grove Projects

Bedding is where most paver and flatwork jobs are won or lost. Lime screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, are the crushed limestone fines Illinois crews use for paver and flagstone bedding and for backfill around pipe.

They pack tight under a paver and hold a flat plane.

Pair them with the right clean stone underneath and around the work. CA-7, sold locally as #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, is washed clean stone with no fines.

It beds pipe and flatwork and fills drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean washed stone, is the other size Illinois yards sell alongside CA-7 for bedding, drainage and concrete work. CA-16 chips, the 3/8 inch limestone chips, suit permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks and topping a compacted base.

Below the bedding, torpedo sand handles concrete and leveling, and mason sand goes into brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes. For the surface itself, River Gravel and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel work in beds, borders and dry creek beds.
