Materials for Willow Hill Projects

Most grading work starts with Fill Dirt. It raises grade and fills low spots before a base course goes down.

Order it by the ton or the yard and let the calculator on the product page size the load.

Once grade is set, Top Soil finishes lawns, yards and bed areas. Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, and it comes screened so it spreads clean.

For raised beds and vegetable plots, Garden Soil is the planting mix. It holds moisture through a southern Illinois summer and gives roots something to work into.

Beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch, which holds moisture and keeps weeds down.

Base, Stone and Sand

• CA-6, the dense graded crushed limestone with fines left in, for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and trench backfill.
• CA-7, washed clean stone with no fines, for bedding under pipe and drainage trenches.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, the clean washed stone that Illinois yards sell alongside CA-7 for bedding and concrete work.
• CA-16 Chips, small 3/8 inch chips for permeable paver bedding and drainage around tanks.
• Washed Sand, the coarse torpedo sand used for concrete, leveling and bedding.
• Mason Sand, the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Decorative work takes River Gravel for beds and borders, or RipRap for bank protection and culvert outlets.

Ground and Conditions in Willow Hill

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

That matters for anything you build on grade. An unbound base on saturated clay can pump under traffic, so drainage is worth planning before you surface a drive or pad.

Washed stone like CA-7 and CA-11 gives water somewhere to go.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Thin loess bares easily, and sheet and gully erosion shows up where ground is left open.

Riprap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where moving water works on soil.

The working 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 cold but shorter than the north, with frequent freeze and thaw swings that work on saturated clay and heave drives and walks. Frost depth is set by the local building department, so check with them before footing work.

What stone should I use for drainage in Willow Hill?
