On a patio job the base and the bedding decide how the surface holds up. Crusher run is the local base material, and a bedding layer of screenings or washed sand sits over it.

Ground and Conditions in Edgarton

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill. That matters most under flatwork, where a thin base gives way at the first wet spell and the pavers start to rock.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, the base is built up with a coarser course before anything finer goes on. A heavier base course carries the load so the surface layer stays put.

Rain off long, steep slopes funnels into the hollows, so a patio on a hillside takes runoff gathered from well uphill. Shape and drainage stone keep that water moving instead of sitting under the pavers.

Shale and siltstone units are the most susceptible rock on these slopes, and mine regolith is the most slide-prone material. Anything set into a cut bank needs a clean stone layer behind it.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Saturated hillside fill will not compact and should not be built on until it drains.

Materials for Edgarton Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the surface either stays true or starts to move. The bedding layer is what levels the pavers and what lets water pass without washing the base out from under them.

Stone Screenings are crusher fines, sold here as screenings or stone dust. They bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints between them.

Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand, used for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers. Mason Sand is the finer option for brick and block work, paver joints and play boxes.

Crusher run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material, crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside. Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads 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 pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives.

Drainage under and around flatwork takes clean washed stone. #57 Limestone is the 1 inch clean stone for drainage runs and pipe bedding, and #8 Limestone is the small washed chip for bedding and fine drainage.

For a bed or a border around the finished patio, River Rock is the rounded decorative stone, and Shredded Mulch knits together and stays put on a grade better than nuggets.
