#67 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Elkhorn, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Elkhorn, WV, and the ground here decides most of the job. Steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum sit over sandstone, shale and coal measures, and flat ground is scarce.

Much of what is flat is fill, so crusher run goes down deeper than the surface suggests. The fines in it lock up tight and hold a grade on a hillside drive.

Materials for Elkhorn Projects

Water is the reason washed stone carries so much of the work around here. Clean stone has no fines to hold moisture, so it passes water instead of trapping it.

#57 Limestone is a washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding where #57 runs a shade too big.

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch, for pipe bedding and fine drainage. #4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms and heavy drainage.

Drain Rock is the clean stone for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs on ground that sheds water fast.

Where a base is meant, West Virginia yards sell crusher run by class. 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.

Crusher Run covers the finer Class 2 crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives. Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints under several names in this state.

Ground and Conditions in Elkhorn

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, work runs most of the year and gets held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Saturated hillside fill will not compact, so it should not be built on until it drains.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone are the most susceptible rock, with unreclaimed workings, road cuts and sidecast fill the usual triggers.

Narrow hollows funnel rain off long, steep slopes into one creek and one road. A drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so culverts and ditches decide how the surface holds up.

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 washed stone and drainage detail matter more than they would elsewhere.

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 build.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Elkhorn?

It depends on the ground under it. Crusher run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material, because the fines left in it lock up tight under a roller and hold a grade on a hillside drive.
