Materials for Cool Ridge Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of local projects start, and the rounded stone is what carries it. Beds, borders and dry creek beds all want stone that looks right and stays where it lands.

River Rock is the rounded decorative stone for beds and borders. Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds and swale bottoms, where a heavier look is wanted.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the small rounded stone for walkways, play areas and patio infill. Shredded Mulch knits together on a grade better than nuggets, which is why it holds on beds and tree rings set on a slope.

Under all of that, the structural materials do the work. 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.

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. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #8 Limestone is the small washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage.

Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints between them.

Ground and Conditions in Cool Ridge

The Allegheny Plateau coalfields give you steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium in the hollows. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.

That soil is thin and stony, so a lawn or bed built straight on it will not grow much. Top Soil and Garden Soil give planting something to root into.

Water behaves the same way. Rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill, and culverts and ditches decide everything.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone units are the most susceptible rock, with unreclaimed workings, road cuts and sidecast fill the usual triggers.

An under-built base on fill or on a slope is where trouble starts, which is why the heavier base course goes in first when the subgrade is soft. Saturated hillside fill will not compact and should not be built on until it drains.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Repeated freeze-thaw runs all winter, and the worst damage to a drive shows up during the spring thaw.
