Materials for Walnut Projects

Decorative rock carries the beds, borders and dry creek beds around Walnut. It also covers ground where grass will not take and finishes a slope that water crosses.

Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds and downspout splash areas. It sets a heavy edge and holds up where water runs hard.

River Gravel is the smaller rounded stone for bed tops, borders and dry creek beds. It gives ground cover a clean, finished look.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded 3/8 inch washed gravel for walkways and play areas. It drains well and stays comfortable underfoot.

For the base under a patio or driveway, order CA-6. It compacts into a firm surface and carries the load of stone, pavers or vehicles above it.

Lime Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and backfill around pipe. They pack tight and give a level setting layer.

Ground and Conditions in Walnut

Across the Northern Illinois till plains and Rock River country, the ground runs to tight till and loamy prairie soils over dolomite. Some spots drain slowly and hold water high in the profile.

That soil punishes an under-built base. Water sits in a shallow layer, softens the subgrade, and the stone above it moves.

Build the base course wide and firm before you spread decorative stone on top. A soft base under a bed edge or a drive shows up as ruts and settled pockets.

Sand plains in this part of the state drain almost too fast, so a bed over sandy ground dries out quickly. Topsoil and mulch help hold moisture where the ground runs light.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall and is a little shorter than downstate. Frozen ground stops compaction in the winter.

Northern Illinois sees repeated freeze and thaw, and heavy frost action works on unbound base and shallow footings. Frost depth runs about 42 inches across the northern counties, and the local building department sets it.
