Crusher run is the base most drives here start from, with the fines left in so it locks up tight on a grade. Above that base, thin hillside ground needs soil before it grows anything.

Materials for Cairo Projects

Start with the ground itself. This part of West Virginia runs to acid, stony hillside soil that will not grow much on its own, so grading and bed prep come before seed or stone.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden Soil goes into raised beds, planting holes and vegetable ground.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout and backfills behind a wall. It goes in first, before any base course on top.

Under a drive or a parking pad, crusher run is the everyday material. Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, build up with Class 1 Base, the heavier base course. Class 2, the finer crusher run, tightens the surface on top.

For drainage, washed stone is the right family. #57 Limestone is 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#8 Limestone is a small chip for paver joints and fine drainage. Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick.

Ground and Conditions in Cairo

Rain and snowmelt are what shape work here. This is rolling to steep dissected hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone, and water runs off the slopes fast.

It collects in the hollows and narrow bottoms, on clay-rich soil that stays saturated long after the rain stops. Saturated ground cannot be compacted, so a base job waits.

Spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw across this part of the state.

Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure with the Ritchie County or municipal official who sets it for your site.

Slopes over about 14 degrees in this region carry a high landslide rate, and creek bank scour after heavy rain does the rest. Armour the banks and outlets with Riprap.

Where a slope keeps shedding water, put clean stone in the drain run. Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Work runs from spring into late fall. A long wet spell, not frost, is usually what stops a base job on this ground.
