Sumner sits in Lawrence County on the Southern till plain and claypan country, where tight subsoil holds water and softens ground fast. Pick your material and quantity online, then a dump truck tips the load on site.

Ground and Conditions in Sumner

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, a 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.

Unbound base pumps under traffic when that happens. A thin base course shows the failure first: ruts, soft spots and stone working loose at the edges.

The fix is a base built thick enough to bridge the soft layer, with a clean drainage layer where water needs somewhere to go. Sheet and gully erosion also cut into bare loess on this ground, so cover exposed areas before fall.

Winters here are shorter than upstate but swing through frequent freeze and thaw cycles on saturated clay. That heaves drives and walks.

The local building department sets footing depth for Lawrence County.

The working season runs longer at both ends than northern Illinois. A wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April, and late summer through fall is the reliable window for grading and base work.

Materials for Sumner Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the choice matters most. Get the bedding layer wrong and pavers rock, joints open and slabs crack at the edge.

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer in Illinois. Crushed limestone fines compact to a tight, flat surface that pavers and flagstone sit on without shifting.

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

3/4" Crushed Stone is CA-11, the same 3/4 inch clean washed stone Illinois yards sell alongside CA-7.

For permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks, CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch size. Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, is coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Under all of it, CA-6 is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.
