Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Costa, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Costa, WV to your driveway, pad or lot. Order online by the ton or the yard and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Start with crusher run. It is the everyday base and drive material here, and it is the load most Costa projects begin with.

Materials for Costa Projects

Crusher run is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside drive. Local quarries sell it by top size, from 3/4 inch on up.

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

Class 2, the finer crusher run class, gives a tighter surface and works as a top course over a Class 1 base. It is sold as an aggregate base class, not the riprap weight class of the same number.

Then surface with Driveway Gravel, or top a compacted base with Walkway Gravel on paths and garden walks.

Washed stone handles the water. #57 Limestone runs French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances, and #8 Limestone fills paver joints and beds pipe.

For bank work, Riprap armours creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel after a washout. West Virginia yards sell it by stone size and by weight class.

Sand, soil and fill round out a build. Washed sand beds slabs and pavers, topsoil dresses thin hillside ground, fill dirt raises grade or backfills behind a wall, and shredded mulch knits together and stays put on a slope.

Ground and Conditions in Costa

Rain and snowmelt off long, steep slopes funnel into one creek and one road. A drive here takes runoff gathered from well uphill, and culverts and ditches decide how it ends.

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, that means acid, stony ground over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium in the hollows. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.

Old mine workings discharge their own water, and acid mine drainage has left hundreds of miles of stream in this part of the state running acid. That is hard on metal pipe set in the water.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in West Virginia. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone units are the most susceptible rock.

Saturated hillside fill will not compact. Let it drain before you build on it, and expect the worst damage to a drive to show up during the spring thaw.

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, so confirm the local figure before you set footings.
