Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material here. It comes crushed with the fines left in, so it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside drive.
Ground Conditions Across Cabell County
Across the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle, water drives the ground work. Ohio River flooding and backwater sit on the flats, and runoff off the hills comes down through the towns to the river.
Terrace sand and gravel drain well. The silt and clay above them do not, and neither do the hillside soils behind.
That split decides where a base needs help. Soft, wet ground wants a heavier base course under it, and a clean stone layer carries water away from a footing or a drive edge.
Slides and slumps on valley walls and on cut and fill are a real risk in this part of the state. Shale and siltstone are the most slide-prone rock, and river bank scour undercuts terrace banks during high water.
Armour a bank, a culvert outlet or a slipping fill with coarse angular stone rather than a fines-bearing material.
The working season here is long. Wet ground and high water on the river flats in late winter and spring are what hold work up.
Winters are moderate, with repeated freeze-thaw and heaving in thin drives through late winter. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm it locally.
Materials Delivered in Cabell County
Base material is specified locally by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges. Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course and takes its 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.
57, No. 67, No.
8 and No. 4.
Crusher run carries the most weight in base work. It is the material to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, and it holds a grade on a slope.
Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class. Use it where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives, or as a top course over a Class 1 base.
Washed stone handles water. #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and concrete aggregate where #57 is a shade too big.
#4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground. Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells and downspout runs.
Sand beds and levels. Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.
Soil and decorative material finish the job. Fill Dirt raises grade or backfills behind a wall before a base course goes on top, and Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting holes.

Order online and pick a delivery date at checkout. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator.
A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site. Have the drop area clear and reachable before the truck arrives, with room for it to turn and pull away.

Plan the pile spot before the order goes in. A load set down on soft ground or on a slope can be hard to move once it is tipped.
Choosing the Right Material
Putnam County sits in the Metro Valley on Kanawha valley ground: river terrace sand, gravel and silt on the valley floor, with made ground and old industrial fill in places, backed by steep hillsides of shale and sandstone residuum.
Cabell County shares that Ohio Valley ground, so the base and drainage reasoning is much the same. Terrace gravel drains well, and the silt and clay above it do not.
Lincoln County and Wayne County sit on Allegheny Plateau coalfields ground. That means steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium in the hollows and mine spoil on and below the old workings.
Flat ground is scarce there and much of what is flat is fill. A base on that ground needs the heavier crusher run class under it, and drainage has to move water off the fill rather than into it.
