Materials for Virden Projects

Base and driveway work starts with CA-6. It is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it goes down as the structural layer under a drive, a parking pad, a garage floor or a shed base.

For topping an existing drive or surfacing a new one, Driveway Gravel gives you a clean, even running surface. Crusher Run is the same stone-and-fines idea under a secondary name.

Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it. CA-7 is the one inch clean stone for bedding under pipe, French drains and concrete flatwork.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for the same bedding and drainage work.

Sand covers concrete and mortar. Washed Sand is the coarse torpedo sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding.

Mason Sand is finer, for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

For grading and planting, Top Soil is screened prairie soil for lawns and bed prep. Fill Dirt raises grade before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Virden

Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the tight claypan subsoil sits close to the surface and stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, so ground stays saturated for weeks.

That matters for any unbound base. Saturated ground under a drive or pad pumps under traffic, and the stone works its way into the soft subgrade instead of staying put.

A clean drainage layer and a properly built base course are how you keep water off the structural stone.

Loess over old, weathered drift leaves thin soil that erodes in sheets and gullies once it is bared. The 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 base work.

Winters are shorter than in northern Illinois, but frequent freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth in this part of the state runs about 30 to 36 inches, and the local building department sets the figure that applies to your job.
