Bulk Material Delivery in Alma, WV

Need gravel and aggregate delivery in Alma, WV, and not sure what to put down? West Virginia Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it across Tyler County.

Crusher run is the local base and drive material, and it is the right starting point for most ground here.

Behind the river flats, the hillsides are steep shale and sandstone with colluvium that sheds water fast and then moves. What you put on the ground has to handle that water.

Materials for Alma Projects

Washed stone is the clean, open material for moving water. It has no fines to pack tight, so water runs through it instead of sitting.

That makes it the right choice for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

#57 Limestone is the one inch washed stone for those jobs, and it also works for pipe bedding and construction entrances. #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch washed stone for drainage beds and concrete work where #57 runs a shade coarse.

#8 Limestone is the small chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch, for paver joints, fine drainage and bedding. Drain Rock covers the same ground on a larger scale, for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Where a drive or pad needs to lock up and hold a grade, crusher run is the material. Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines left in, sold by top size.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads and slab prep, and it is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Ground and Conditions in Alma

This part of the state works a long season, and the thing that holds up a delivery is wet ground. On the river flats, high water in late winter and spring is the pinch point.

Time a delivery for when the ground is firm enough to take a truck.

Across the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle, terrace ground along the river is sand, gravel and silt, and some of it is deep and drains freely. The silt and clay above it do not, and neither do the hillside soils behind.

That split decides what goes where on a lot.

Slides and slumps on the valley walls and on cut and fill are a real risk in this ground, and river bank scour during high water is the other. Clean washed stone is the drainage layer for that water, and crusher run is the base that holds a grade on a slope.

Winters here are moderate with repeated freeze and thaw, and thin drives heave through late winter. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official.

Published West Virginia figures run about 24 to 30 inches, and the Northern Panhandle sits with the northern jurisdictions, so confirm the number locally.
