Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Ballard, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ballard, WV, for drives, pads, drainage runs and garden beds. If you are building a driveway, crusher run is the material that goes down first.

This is Greenbrier limestone valley ground, where deep red and cherty clay holds water and soil depth shifts over short distances. That clay shapes what a base has to do.

Materials for Ballard Projects

Base and driveway surfacing starts with crusher run, the local name for crushed stone with the fines left in. Rolled in, it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Local yards sell crusher run by top size, 3/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch and coarser. For a heavier base course under a drive, a parking pad, a shop floor or a slab, step up to Class 1 base.

Class 2 is the finer crusher run class. It gives a tighter surface than the coarse base, and it works as a top course over a Class 1 layer.

Where water has to move, clean washed stone does the work. #57 Limestone is a 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

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

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch. It fills paver joints, beds pipe and dresses over a compacted base.

Sand and soil round out a build. Mason Sand is the fine sand for brick and block work and paver joints.

Washed Sand is coarser, for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep over thin, stony hillside ground. Garden Soil is blended for raised beds and planting holes.

Ground and Conditions in Ballard

Across the Greenbrier limestone valley, water does not behave like it does on ordinary ground. The valley is karst, and surface water vanishes into sinkholes, sinking streams and swallets instead of running to a creek.

That changes how you handle runoff. Piping roof and driveway water to one point is how a new sinkhole opens, so runoff wants spreading rather than concentrating.

Wet weather also brings water back up through the same openings.

The soil is deep red and cherty clay weathered from Greenbrier limestone, over a sinkhole plain that is hollow underneath. Rock ledges surface in the fields, and soil depth changes sharply over short distances.

Clay that holds water will not take compaction until it has drained. Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, build it up with Class 1 base before anything finer goes on top.

Erosion here is less about slope failure than about scour. Clay slopes and river banks both wash after heavy rain, and ground over a solution cavity can settle or collapse with no slope at all.

The working season runs from spring into late fall, cut short by wet clay. Cold winters at 2,000 feet and up bring repeated freeze-thaw and frost heave in drives built on clay without enough stone under them.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, so confirm it locally.
