The loess ground across this part of Illinois shifts with the seasons, so what you put underneath matters.

Ground and Conditions in Versailles

Across the Western Illinois loess uplands and the Mississippi border, deep loess sits over older drift on rolling ground. Loess sheds water fast on slopes and holds it in the flats.

That split is what a thin base shows you here: soft spots after a wet spring, and a surface that never quite settles.

The fix is to build the base course properly rather than patch the top. A fines-bearing material like CA-6 knits together and carries the load.

Clean washed stone under it moves water away from the subgrade instead of trapping it.

Work here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Freeze and thaw still lift drives and walks each spring, so base preparation is worth doing once and doing right.

Materials for Versailles Projects

Bedding under pavers and concrete flatwork is where most of these projects are won or lost. The bedding layer carries the paver or slab, holds the line, and lets water move.

Get it wrong and the surface above it moves no matter how well you set it.

Lime Screenings are the standard bedding layer for pavers and flagstone in Illinois. Crushed limestone fines pack tight and give you a true, workable surface to set into.

The same material backfills around pipe.

Washed Sand, which local yards call torpedo sand, is the coarse washed sand for concrete mixes and leveling. Mason Sand is the finer clean sand for brick and block mortar and for paver joints.

Under the bedding, the base does the structural work. CA-6, also called CA6, road base, or 3/4 dense grade, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and trench backfill.

Where water has to move, switch to clean stone. CA-7, also called CA7 or #57 stone, is washed clean stone with no fines for bedding under pipe, French drains, and drainage trenches.

3/4" Crushed Stone, or CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside CA-7 for the same drainage and concrete work.

For permeable paver bedding, drainage around tanks, or topping a compacted base, CA-16 Chips are the 3/8 inch limestone chips.
