Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Belva, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Belva, WV to drives, pads and yards that sit on steep, stony ground. Crusher run is the base most of that work starts from here.

Work runs most of the year in the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Plan the drop around a stretch when the ground has drained.

Materials for Belva Projects

Base and driveway surfacing carry most of the work on these hillsides. Crusher run is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight and holds a grade.

Local yards sell it by top size, and the West Virginia class numbers split it two ways.

Base and Drive Material

• Crusher Run: the everyday base and drive material, sold as 3/4 inch crusher run and coarser. Use it under a drive, a parking pad or a shop floor.
• Class 1 Base: the heavier base course, and the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill. Class 1 is the coarser of the two crusher run classes.
• Driveway Gravel: surfacing for an existing drive or a top course over a compacted base on a long hollow drive.

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 base.

Note that Class 2 also names a riprap weight class, so say which one is meant.

Washed Stone and Drainage

Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting. #57 limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#8 limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage.

Sand, Soil and Decorative Stone

Mason sand is fine sand for brick and block work and paver joints. Washed sand is coarser, for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.

Topsoil covers thin, stony hillside ground that will not grow much on its own.

River rock and large river rock are rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Natural Pea Gravel, sold as 3/8 inch natural pea gravel, suits walkways, play areas and patio infill.

Ground and Conditions in Belva

Rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road. A drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so culverts and ditches do much of the deciding.

On the Allegheny Plateau coalfields side, old mine workings add their own discharges.

The soil is acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium in the hollows. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.

Saturated hillside fill will not compact, so it should not be built on until it drains.

This is landslide-prone ground. Mine regolith and shale units are the most susceptible materials, and road cuts, sidecast fill and creek-bank scour in a flash rise are the usual triggers.

Riprap armours creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and toe protection under a slipping fill.

Class 1 Base is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft. In the hollows winters are moderate, while the ridges run colder, with repeated freeze-thaw all winter and the worst drive damage showing up during the spring thaw.
