Materials for Clay Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the work this ground asks for first. You are usually building up, not cutting down, because the flat spot you want does not exist yet.

Fill goes in first, then a base course on top of it.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout and backfills behind a wall. It is the bulk material that goes under everything else, and it goes down before any base course.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

West Virginia yards sell it as the coarser of the two crusher run classes.

Crusher Run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used as a top course over a Class 1 base.

For a driveway, start with fill if the grade is low, then Class 1 base, then Driveway Gravel on top. For a patio or paver walk, Stone Screenings bed the pavers and fill the joints.

For a drain, #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

Ground and Conditions in Clay

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields the hillsides are steep and the soil is acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Deep colluvium sits in the hollows, with narrow alluvial strips along the creek bottoms.

Mine spoil and regolith cover the old workings and benches.

That matters because an under-built base fails fast on this ground. Soft fill and old spoil will not carry a pad, so the base course has to be built up until it does.

Saturated hillside fill will not compact, and it should not be built on until it drains.

Water is the other half of it. Rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill.

Culverts and ditches decide how that drive holds up, and creek banks scour hard in a flash rise.

This is also landslide-prone ground, with mine regolith the most slide-prone material and shale and siltstone the most susceptible rock. Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official. The nearest published West Virginia figures run about 24 to 30 inches, so confirm the local one.

Questions About Ordering in Clay

What is the best base under pavers in Clay?

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course, and it is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill. On firmer ground, crusher run works as a compacted base.

Stone Screenings bed the pavers themselves and fill the joints. Build the base up until it carries the pad, because this ground will not carry an under-built one.
