Materials delivered in Calhoun County
Crusher run is crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.
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, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only.
Crusher Run is the everyday base and drive material, sold by top size at 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser. Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.
67, No. 8 and No.
4. Those size numbers are how material is specified and sold locally.
Ground conditions across Calhoun 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 collect colluvium, and bottoms along the Little Kanawha are narrow.
That soil is thin and stony on the slopes. An under-built base on it will not hold, so the base course has to carry the load.
Runoff comes off the hills into narrow bottoms. Spring rain and snowmelt sit on saturated clay-rich soil, and mine drainage from old workings is hard on metal pipe and culverts.
Erosion is a real driver here. Landslides run about 3.6 per square mile across this ground region, the second highest rate in the state, most on slopes over about 14 degrees.
Work runs from spring into late fall. A long wet spell, not frost, usually stops a base job, because this ground cannot be compacted while it is saturated.
Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure for your own town or county. Spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth.
Choosing the right material
For a driveway, start with crusher run or Class 1 Base where the subgrade is soft. Top it with Driveway Gravel for the running surface.
For a patio, bed the pavers on Stone Screenings and set them over a compacted base. Mason Sand fills the joints on brick and block work.
For a drain, use clean washed stone. Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs, and Riprap armours a creek bank or culvert outlet.
Braxton County and Gilmer County share this ground region, so the soil and the base reasoning are the same there. Clay County sits on Allegheny Plateau coalfields ground, where flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill.
That difference matters. On fill or mine spoil, build the base course heavier before any surface stone goes down.
