Landscaping Material Delivered in Eglon, WV

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Eglon, WV? West Virginia Rock Supply sells bulk material online and delivers it to your site in Preston County.

Crusher run is the local base and drive material, and it is the right first order for most ground here.

This page covers the decorative and landscaping side: beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover. The ground on the Allegheny highlands is thin, acid and very stony, so what you put on top of it matters.

Delivery to Eglon and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.

Then you choose a delivery date and a dump truck tips the material on site.

Delivery covers Eglon and the rest of Preston County, including Kingwood, Terra Alta, Reedsville, Rowlesburg and Masontown. The truck tips the load in one pile where it lands.

Materials for Eglon Projects

Start with the job, then pick the stone. For beds and borders, River Rock is rounded decorative stone that sits well against siding and along a walk.

Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds and swale bottoms.

A dry creek bed is the answer where water runs across a yard and you want it to look intentional. Line it with large river rock so the stone stays put on a slope, then dress the edges with smaller rounded stone.

For ground cover between plants, Shredded Mulch knits together and holds on a grade better than nuggets. It works on tree rings and bed edges where the ground falls away.

For a path, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface than a drive mix. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and patio infill.

Where a path or patio needs a firm bed under it, crusher run goes down first and Stone Screenings beds the pavers on top.

For a driveway, crusher run is the base and Driveway Gravel surfaces it. Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, Class 1 Base is the heavier course to build up first, and Class 2 crusher run is the finer class for a tighter surface over it.

For a drain, #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #8 Limestone is the smaller washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage.

Ground and Conditions in Eglon

Across the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front, the soil is thin, acid and very stony over sandstone and shale. Bedrock sits close to the surface on the benches.

A base built on that has to be built up, not scraped in.

This is the wettest ground in the state, with more than 60 inches of precipitation a year. Rain and deep snowmelt cannot soak into shallow soil over rock, so the water runs.

Springs and seeps break out partway down a slope and will run straight through an undrained base.

That is why a drainage layer matters as much as the surface stone. Clean washed stone such as Drain Rock carries water away instead of holding it against the base.

Slides and slumps happen on slopes over about 17 degrees, in shale and siltstone residuum and in colluvium. Old timber roads and skidder trails add to it.

Mountain streams rise hard and fast and scour banks and culvert outlets, which is where Riprap comes in as bank and slope armour.

This zone has the shortest working season in West Virginia and the longest frozen season. The ground freezes early, thaws late and cycles through freeze-thaw well into spring, which is what tears up a thin gravel drive.

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