Ground here is steep and stony, and flat ground is scarce. Much of what is flat is old fill.

That shapes what you put down and where.

Materials for Ashford Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection in these hollows. The sizes below run from the big armour stone down to the fine chips.

Coarse stone for banks and channels

Riprap is bank and slope armour. It goes on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets, and the toe of a slipping fill.

West Virginia yards sell it by stone size and by weight class, so say which you want.

Riprap is the answer where a bank has washed and the fill behind it is moving.

#4 Crushed Stone is a coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone. Use it at construction entrances, trench bottoms, and as the first lift over very soft ground.

It is also called 1-1/2 inch clean stone.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage.

Drainage stone

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone, sold locally as #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone. It suits French drains, pipe bedding, concrete work and construction entrances.

Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. It is clean stone, so water moves through it instead of sitting.

#67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone. Drainage beds and bedding where #57 is a shade too big.

Base and drive material

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller. Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

Delivery to Ashford and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick a delivery date at checkout. You choose the quantity by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Ashford sits in Boone County, and coverage runs out to Madison, Danville, Racine, Whitesville and Comfort.

Steep ground decides where a truck can set down. A drive that takes runoff from well uphill needs a spot the truck can reach and turn around.

Ground and Conditions in Ashford

Work runs most of the year here. Long wet spells hold it up more than cold does, because saturated hillside fill will not compact.

If your fill is still holding water, wait for it to drain before you build on it. That is the difference between a base that holds and one that moves.

This is the most slide-prone ground in the state. Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, mine regolith is the single most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone are the most susceptible rock.

Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers, and creek banks scour hard in a flash rise.

Rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road. Your drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so culverts and ditches decide how it holds up.

Old mine workings add their own discharges, and acid mine drainage has left hundreds of miles of stream running acid in this part of the state. That is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

Use clean stone and durable pipe where water will stand.

Freeze-thaw repeats all winter, and the worst damage to a drive shows up during the spring thaw. Frost depth is set by your county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure before you set footings.

Questions from Ashford Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Ashford?

Match the stone to the job. #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds. Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells and foundation drains.

Where ground sheds water fast and a run needs coarse open stone, #4 Crushed Stone works as a trench bottom and first lift.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

The truck tips the load in one pile, so have a clear, reachable spot picked out before it gets there. Steep ground and narrow drives limit where it can set down, so walk the route in first and look at the turnaround.

Keep the pile area clear of vehicles and equipment so nothing is in the way of the tip.
