Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Augusta, WV

Spring thaw and long autumn rain are what set the schedule for gravel and aggregate delivery in Augusta, WV. West Virginia Rock Supply sells crusher run, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock, delivered across Hampshire County.

Augusta sits in the Potomac ridges and valleys, where a long working season in the valley bottoms meets a shorter one up on the ridges and in the hollows.

Materials for Augusta Projects

Base and driveway work starts with crusher run, the local name for crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

For a heavier base under a drive, parking pad, shop floor or slab, use Class 1 Base. It is the coarser of the two crusher run classes sold in West Virginia, and the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Crusher Run also covers the finer class, where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives, or as a top course over Class 1.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is the 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding, concrete work and construction entrances.

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

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, fine drainage and bedding pipe. #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.

Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints after. For sand, Mason Sand serves brick and block work and paver joints, while Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers.

Soil and mulch round out a build. Top Soil feeds lawns and bed prep over thin, stony hillside ground, and Shredded Mulch knits together and stays put on a slope better than nuggets do.

Riprap armours banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout. River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel cover beds, borders and walkways.

Ground and Conditions in Augusta

Across the Potomac ridges and valleys, water off steep slopes arrives fast and concentrated in the valley bottoms. This is the dry side of the state, so an intense summer storm on dry, compacted ground sheds almost all of it.

Soil over the ridges is shallow and full of rock fragments, with better ground in the valleys between. That shallow, stony ground is why a drive or pad often needs a heavier base course before any surface stone goes down.

Slides here are uncommon, but they happen on slopes over about 20 degrees in shale and sandstone residuum and on over-steepened road cuts. Rock fall off undercut ledges is the other common failure.

So drainage layers earn their place. Clean washed stone moves water instead of holding it, and fines-bearing crusher run stays where it belongs: under a drive, not in a drain.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure. Confirm it locally before footings or a base go in, because the higher valleys run colder than the lowlands.
