Bulk Aggregates for Erosion Control in Berea, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Berea, WV. This is hill country, and water off the slopes is what tears up a drive, a bank or a culvert outlet.

Crusher run builds the base. Coarse clean stone takes the water.

Order by the ton or the yard and a truck tips the load on site.

Materials for Berea Projects

Slope, swale and bank work starts with coarse stone. Big angular rock slows water and holds ground that finer material would wash out from under.

Riprap is bank and slope armour. Use it on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets, and toe protection under slipping fill.

West Virginia yards sell it by stone size and by weight class.

#4 Crushed Stone is 1-1/2 inch clean stone. It suits construction entrances, trench bottoms, heavy drainage, and the first lift over very soft ground.

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone. It goes in French drains, pipe bedding, concrete work and construction entrances.

Local quarries list it by that number.

#67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone. Use it in drainage beds and bedding where #57 runs a shade too 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 a compacted base.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. Build it up where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Crusher Run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Ground and Conditions in Berea

This is rolling to steep dissected hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone. Slopes carry acid stony residuum, hollows collect colluvium, and the bottoms are narrow.

Runoff moves fast into those bottoms. Spring rain and snowmelt on saturated clay-rich soil is when banks scour and culverts plug.

Across the North central plateau and western hills, slides run about 3.6 per square mile, most on slopes over about 14 degrees. Old fill and road cuts are the usual triggers.

Work runs from spring into late fall. A long wet spell, not frost, is what stops a base job, because this ground cannot be compacted while it is saturated.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw. Spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth.

Questions About Stone in Berea

What stone should I use for drainage in Berea?

Use clean washed stone, not a fines-bearing material. #57 Limestone suits French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#67 Stone works where #57 is a shade too big, and #8 Limestone handles tight joints and fine drainage. Keep crusher run for bases, since the fines in it hold water rather than pass it.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, reachable spot for the pile. The truck tips the load in one place and does not spread it, so pick ground that drains and where you want the material to sit.

Order your quantity by the ton or the yard first, and pick a delivery date at checkout.
