Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Compactable materials like Road Base or limestone screenings create a solid base that holds up under vehicle weight. A top layer of clean gravel can improve drainage on the surface.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone such as washed #57 gravel allows water to flow freely around foundations, French drains, and retaining walls. Avoid materials with fines, which can clog the system.
• Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of crushed stone or screenings, then add a setting bed of sand or fine stone dust for paver leveling.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative gravel like Natural Pea Gravel or river rock works well around plants, while hardwood mulch conserves moisture. For new beds, topsoil improves soil structure and fertility.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 61244 in East Moline mixes older built-up lots with newer subdivisions and some rural acreage. The soil type varies from fast-draining Top Soil to heavier clay that holds moisture.

In the older sections near the city core, lots are tighter and driveways are shorter. That makes access simpler, but you may need to protect turf with plywood if the ground is soft after rain.

On the rural fringe and in newer subdivisions, longer driveways and steeper slopes can require extra base thickness. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter demand well-draining base materials to prevent shifting and cracking.

Truck access is straightforward for most standard lots. Long rural driveways need a turnaround area or a place for the truck to back in without getting stuck.
