Materials for Texico Projects

Grading and bed prep come first here. Build up low spots with fill dirt, then cap with screened topsoil for a lawn that takes seed.

Fill Dirt raises grade and fills hollows before a base course goes down. Top Soil is the dark, silty prairie soil yards sell screened, for lawns and final grading.

For planting beds, Garden Soil gives raised beds and vegetable plots a workable mix. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through an Illinois summer.

Base material holds the surface up. CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with fines left in, is the Illinois base for driveways, parking pads, shed floors and trench backfill.

CA-6 compacts into a tight, load-bearing layer when water is kept off it. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Washed stone handles water. CA-7 and CA-11 are the clean, no-fines sizes for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains.

CA-7 and 3/4" Crushed Stone carry water freely and stay put around pipe. CA-16 Chips bed permeable pavers and drain around tanks.

Lime screenings are crushed limestone fines, the standard bedding layer for pavers and flagstone in Illinois. Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason sand is the finer clean sand for mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

Decorative stone finishes the yard. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and fence post mixes, while river gravel and larger river rock dress beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

Ground and Conditions in Texico

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, water is the whole story. Rain and snowmelt sit on top of the tight claypan subsoil instead of draining down through it.

Ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base pumps under traffic when it does. That thin loess also erodes in sheets and gullies once it is bared.

Frequent freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. A base that holds up here sits on ground that has been graded to shed water, with clean stone at the edges to give it somewhere to go.

The working season runs 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 for hauling soil.
