Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across Braxton County, WV

Hill runoff moves fast here, and it carries a drive away when the base under it was built light. West Virginia Rock Supply sells gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Braxton County, WV, ordered online and tipped on site by dump truck.

Crusher run is the base most of this ground wants. The fines stay in the mix, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Materials Delivered in Braxton County

Order by the job. A driveway, a patio and a drain each call for a different stone.

Crusher run is sold locally by top size: 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser. West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges.

Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course and takes its material requirement from Subsection 704.6, which grades base and subbase aggregate by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A. Class 10 is footnoted there as crusher run material only.

Two crusher run classes matter for a base. Class 1 base is the heavier course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run, used where a pad wants a tighter surface, and as a top course over a Class 1 base.

67, No. 8 and No.

4. Those numbers describe how material is specified and sold locally.

Clean stone handles water. #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch washed stone for drainage beds and concrete work.

#4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms and heavy drainage.

Finish work takes finer material. Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick.

Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers, and Mason Sand suits brick and block work and paver joints.

Ground cover runs the rest. Top Soil rebuilds a lawn over thin, stony hillside ground.

Fill Dirt raises grade or backfills behind a wall before a base course goes on top. River Rock and Large River Rock dress beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground Conditions Across Braxton County

Across the North central plateau and western hills, this is rolling to steep dissected hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone. Slopes carry acid stony residuum, hollows hold colluvium, and the narrow bottoms sit along the Monongahela, Tygart, West Fork and Little Kanawha drainages.

That ground does two things to an under-built base. Water sheds off the slopes into the hollows, and spring rain and snowmelt sit on clay-rich soil that stays saturated.

A base laid on soft, wet subgrade moves.

Slope stability is the other pressure. This part of the state runs about 3.6 landslides per square mile, the second highest rate in the state, with most of them on slopes over about 14 degrees.

Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and road cuts and timber cutting are common triggers.

Plan the work from spring into late fall. A long wet spell, not frost, usually stops a base job, because saturated ground cannot be compacted.

Riprap at a culvert outlet or a scoured bank protects the fill behind it.

Choosing the Right Material

Braxton County ground is the same kind of ground as Clay County: steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, deep colluvium in the hollows, and mine spoil on and below the old workings and benches. Order the same way in both.

Webster County differs on the high plateau. Its soil is thinner and stonier over sandstone and shale, with bedrock close to the surface on the benches.

Where rock sits near the top, a base course needs more fill under it before crusher run goes down.

Nicholas County spans more than one ground region, from the Allegheny Plateau coalfields to the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front. Expect that mix of ground on a job there, and order drainage stone for the wetter stretches.
