Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Belle, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Belle, WV, with crusher run leading the load list. The valley floor here is river terrace sand, gravel and silt, and it drains slowly.

Every order is placed online by the ton or the yard.

Ground and Conditions in Belle

Flat terrace ground across the Kanawha valley sits high on the water table and sheds water slowly. A patio laid on a thin base shows it.

The surface stays soft underfoot and the slabs work loose at the edges.

Hillside lots behind the flat take concentrated runoff off slopes that start at the back of the lot. That water needs somewhere to go.

A clean stone layer under the bedding gives it a path.

Cut and fill for a pad on a valley wall is the common trigger for slides and slumps, and the fill and regolith move first. Late winter and early spring are the wettest weeks on the terraces.

Wet ground is what delays a base job here.

Winters are the mildest on the plateau side of the state, but freeze and thaw still repeat. A drive built straight on river silt lifts.

Frost depth is set by the local building official, so confirm it for your address.

Materials for Belle Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the surface either holds or fails. The right bedding and the right stone under it keep a patio flat through wet seasons.

Crusher run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up tight and holds a grade, which is why it works as the base under a patio or a shop pad.

West Virginia quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch and coarser. See Crusher Run.

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

Yards here sell it as the coarser of the two crusher run classes. See Class 1 Base.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives. It also works as a top course over Class 1.

Stone screenings, also called stone dust, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Ask for screenings or stone dust rather than a spec number.

See Stone Screenings.

Washed sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers. Mason sand is finer and suits brick and block work and paver joints.

See Washed Sand and Mason Sand.

#57 limestone and #8 limestone are washed clean stone for drainage beds, pipe bedding and concrete work. Both sizes are how local yards list clean stone.

See #57 Limestone and #8 Limestone.

Questions About Gravel and Stone in Belle

What gravel is best for a driveway in Belle?

Crusher run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

For a softer subgrade or old fill, start with Class 1 base and top it with the finer Class 2 crusher run for a tighter surface.
