#67 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Dixie, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Dixie, WV, and the ground here decides what you need. Narrow hollows send rain off long, steep slopes into one creek and one road.

Water gathers from well uphill of your drive. Crusher run builds the base.

Washed stone moves the water away.

Materials for Dixie Projects

Start with drainage. A hollow drive takes runoff from ground far above it, so a culvert or ditch that fails puts water under the base instead of past it.

Washed stone is the answer. It stays open, so water passes through instead of pushing the material out of place.

For French drains, drywells and downspout runs, #57 Limestone is the 1 inch clean stone West Virginia quarries list for drainage, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

Where #57 sits a shade too big, #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds, concrete aggregate and bedding.

For tight work, #8 Limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch, for paver joints, pipe bedding and fine drainage.

On very soft ground, #4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift.

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

Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser. Class 2 is the finer crusher run class, for a drive or pad that wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives.

Under a drive, parking pad, shop floor or slab, Class 1 Base is the heavier base course, and 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. Class 2 base is the finer class, and it also works as a top course over a Class 1 base.

For a long hollow drive, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Where a bank or culvert outlet is washing, Riprap is bank and slope armour, sold by stone size and by weight class.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. A pile of washed stone or crusher run needs room, and a narrow hollow road leaves little of it.

Ground and Conditions in Dixie

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Plan a delivery around that, not against it.

Saturated hillside fill will not compact, and it should not be built on until it drains. Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground is steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures.

Hollows carry deep colluvium, creek bottoms are narrow alluvial strips, and old workings and benches sit on mine spoil and regolith. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Shale and siltstone units are the most susceptible rock, and mine regolith is the most slide-prone material.

Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers. Creek banks scour hard in a flash rise.

Old mine workings add their own discharges, and acid mine drainage has left hundreds of miles of stream here running acid. That is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

So use clean washed stone around pipe and in the drainage layer. Keep fines out of the water path, and let the ditch carry runoff away from the base.

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 before you set a footing.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Dixie?

Start with crusher run. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Use Class 1 base as the heavier base course where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, then Class 2 as a tighter top course. On a long hollow drive that takes runoff from uphill, top the compacted base with driveway gravel and keep the ditch clear.
