Lime Screenings for Pathways in Troy, IL

Illinois Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Troy, IL, from CA-6 road base to washed stone, sand and soil. If you are building a path, a pad or a driveway, the material you start with decides how the finished surface holds up.

Troy sits in Madison County, where the ground runs to deep loess over older drift on rolling uplands. That shapes what you order, because loess moves water fast on a slope and holds it in the flats.

Ground and Conditions in Troy

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, deep loess sits over older Illinoian drift. On rolling ground and cut slopes, that silty soil sheds water quickly and gullies where runoff concentrates.

A thin base shows that failure first. Water reaches the fines, the surface ruts, and the edges break away with each freeze and thaw.

The fix is a base that carries the load and a clean stone layer that moves water off it. CA-6, also called road base, is the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in that Illinois yards sell for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Where water has to travel, clean washed stone does the work instead. Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall, so a base put down before the ground freezes has the whole season to settle.

Materials for Troy Projects

Fines and screenings are what finish a path. Lime Screenings, also called limestone screenings, are crushed limestone fines used to bed pavers and flagstone and to backfill around pipe.

Pack screenings over a compacted base and you get a firm, walkable surface for garden walks and patio joints. Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, more walkable surface where you want loose stone instead.

Underneath either one, CA-6 is the base course that carries the weight. Order it as CA-6 by name, since that is what an Illinois yard knows it as.

For drainage and concrete work, CA-7 and CA-11 are the washed clean stone sizes Illinois yards sell, both with no fines. CA-7 beds pipe and fills drainage trenches, and CA-16 Chips handle permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.
