Ground and Conditions in Canvas

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, hillside soil is acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.

On flatwork, a thin base shows its failure fast. The slab rocks, cracks at the corners, and water finds the low spot every time.

Rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one hollow and one road. A drive or pad there takes runoff gathered from well uphill.

Old mine workings add their own discharges, and acid mine drainage is hard on metal pipe set in the ground. Match your drainage stone to that water.

This is slide-prone ground, and saturated hillside fill will not compact. Let it drain before you build, and plan around a wet spell rather than a cold one.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure before any footing work.

Materials for Canvas Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a job is won or lost. The surface stone is only as level as the layer under it.

For that layer, start with Stone Screenings. Screenings are crusher fines, sold locally as stone dust or limestone screenings, and they bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Where a pad wants a tighter, harder surface than coarse stone gives, use Crusher Run, the finer Class 2 base course. Crusher run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material, crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Under soft ground, old fill or a shop floor, step up to Class 1 Base, the heavier base course. West Virginia yards sell it as the coarser of the two crusher run classes.

Around flatwork, drainage and joints, add clean washed stone. #8 Limestone is a small chip for paver joints and fine drainage, and #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and concrete work.

Finish a walk or a bed edge with Walkway Gravel for a finer, walkable surface.

Questions About Gravel in Canvas

What gravel is best for a driveway in Canvas?

Crusher run is the base and drive material here, crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, build up with Class 1 Base, the coarser class, and top it with the finer Class 2 crusher run for a tighter surface.

How much material will my project need?

Each product page has a calculator, and quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. Size the load there before you check out.

Keep in mind that saturated hillside fill will not compact, so let the ground drain first and confirm the frost depth with the county or municipal building official before footing work.
