Bulk Aggregates for Erosion Control in Davis, WV

Rain and snowmelt on steep, shallow ground over rock cannot soak in, so it runs. That is why gravel and aggregate delivery in Davis, WV starts with coarse stone for slope, swale and bank protection.

West Virginia Rock Supply delivers crusher run and clean stone by the ton across Tucker County and the high ground around it.

Materials for Davis Projects

Water off the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front hits hard and fast. Coarse, angular stone is what holds a bank, a swale or a culvert outlet in place.

Start at the heavy end. Riprap armours creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and the toe of a slipping fill.

#4 Crushed Stone is 1-1/2 inch clean stone. Use it for trench bottoms, construction entrances and the first lift over very soft ground.

Railroad Ballast is the coarsest angular option, for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage.

Then the drainage sizes. #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and downspout runs.

#67 Stone does the same work where 1 inch is a shade too big.

For a drive or a pad, Class 1 Base is the heavier base course under soft ground or old fill. Crusher Run locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Ground and Conditions in Davis

This is the shortest working season in West Virginia. Base, drive and paver work waits for the ground to thaw and drain in late spring, and it stops earlier in the fall than it does downstate.

Snow cover sits for weeks at a time on the high benches. Time a delivery around that window rather than against it.

Underneath, the ground is thin, acid and very stony over sandstone and shale, with deep colluvium on the side slopes. Bedrock sits close to the surface on the benches.

Springs and seeps break out partway down a slope and run straight through an undrained base. Put clean stone under a drive or pad so water has somewhere to go.

Slides and slumps show up on slopes over about 17 degrees, and old timber roads and skidder trails add to it. Mountain streams scour banks and culvert outlets when they rise.

Davis sits at 3,520 feet, so the ground freezes early and thaws late. Frost depth here is set by the county building official, with no published figure for the highlands, so confirm it locally.

Questions About Stone in Davis

What stone should I use for drainage in Davis?

Use clean, washed stone that lets water pass. #57 Limestone and #67 Stone handle French drains, pipe bedding and downspout runs.

#4 Crushed Stone suits trench bottoms and heavy drainage. For a bank, swale or culvert outlet, riprap is the coarse angular stone that armour holds.

Keep fines out of any drainage layer, because crusher run and screenings lock up and shed water rather than pass it.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, firm spot for the pile, with room for a dump truck to reach it and turn around. The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot that works for how you will move the material afterward.

Have your quantity settled before the delivery date, since quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.
