Riprap and Bulk Aggregates for Crawley, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Crawley, WV, and the ground here asks for stone that holds. Across the Greenbrier limestone valley, water drops into sinkholes instead of running off.

Crusher run builds the base. Coarse stone holds the banks, swales and slopes that shed that water.

Order by the ton, pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Materials for Crawley Projects

Start with riprap where water moves. Creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout all call for Riprap.

It comes by stone size and by weight class, which is how West Virginia yards list it. Keep the riprap class separate from the Class 2 aggregate base class, because the two share a name and nothing else.

#4 Crushed Stone gives you a 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms and heavy drainage. #4 Crushed Stone also works as the first lift over very soft ground, where fines would only sink.

For French drains, downspout beds and pipe bedding, use washed stone. #57 Limestone is the 1 inch clean size, and Drain Rock covers the same ground on runs that shed water fast.

Both stay open because they carry no fines.

Then build the drive itself. Crusher Run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material, crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up and holds a grade on a hillside.

Where you need the heavier base course under a pad or slab, step up to Class 1 Base.

Ground and Conditions in Crawley

Across the Greenbrier limestone valley, the soil is deep red and cherty clay weathered from the limestone. It sits over a sinkhole plain that is hollow underneath, and soil depth changes sharply over short distances.

Rock ledges surface in the fields.

That clay holds water and will not take compaction until it has drained. A decent working season runs from spring into late fall, cut short by wet ground.

Time a delivery for after the clay has shed its water, not during a wet stretch.

Karst drives the drainage here. Surface water vanishes into sinkholes, sinking streams and swallets rather than running to a creek, and wet weather brings water back up through the same openings.

Piping roof and driveway runoff to one point is how a new sinkhole opens, so spread that runoff instead. Coarse clean stone is what you spread it into.

Erosion comes more from scouring clay slopes and stream banks than from slope failure, and ground over a solution cavity can settle without any slope at all. Cold winters at the higher elevations bring repeated freeze-thaw, and frost heave shows up in drives built on clay without enough stone under them.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure for these counties, so confirm it locally.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Crawley

What stone should I use for drainage in Crawley?

Use clean washed stone. #57 Limestone and Drain Rock both work for French drains, downspout runs and foundation drains.

#4 Crushed Stone suits trench bottoms and heavier drainage, and riprap armours banks and culvert outlets. Clean stone stays open because it carries no fines.

Skip crusher run for drainage, since the fines in it hold water instead of passing it.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear, open and reachable for a dump truck. A truck tips the load in one pile, so pick the place you want that pile to sit before the truck pulls in.

Keep cars, equipment and children clear of the area. Then let the driver tip the load and pull out.
