Start with CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill across Wayne County.

Ground and Conditions in Wayne City

This part of southern Illinois sits on loess over old, weathered drift. Under that is a tight claypan close to the surface, the subsoil that gives south central Illinois its reputation for hard, slow ground.

Claypan stops water moving down. Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base pumps under traffic.

That is the failure mode a thin base shows here. Soft ground under a light layer of stone flexes, the surface breaks up, and ruts refill with mud.

The fix is a base that spreads load instead of punching through it. CA-6, with its mix of stone and fines, compacts into a tight, bound layer that bridges soft spots and sheds the water that would otherwise sit on the claypan.

Timing matters as much as material. The season here 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 hauling and working ground.

Freeze and thaw swings work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth is set locally by the building department, so confirm the figure that applies to your project before you plan footing work.

Materials for Wayne City Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a project is won or lost. The bedding layer levels the surface, spreads load, and keeps the units above from rocking on soft ground.

Lime screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, are crushed limestone fines. They are the standard bedding layer in Illinois, troweled and screeded flat under pavers and flagstone.

Lime Screenings

Torpedo sand is the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell for concrete, leveling and bedding. It packs into a firm, uniform bed that holds grade under flatwork and paver base.

Washed Sand

Mason sand is finer and cleaner. Use it for brick and block mortar, paver joints, sandboxes and volleyball courts, where a smooth, consistent grain matters.

Below the bedding, CA-6 carries the load. It is the compacted base course for drives, pads and shed floors, and it goes down after any fill dirt has brought the grade up.

CA-6

Where water needs to move instead of sit, CA-7 is the washed clean stone for bedding under pipe, drainage trenches and French drains. CA-11 is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone sold alongside it for the same work.

CA-7

CA-16 chips, the 3/8 inch limestone chips, bed permeable pavers and drain around tanks. Natural Pea Gravel and river gravel handle walkways, play areas and decorative beds where a rounded surface is wanted.
