Materials for Elkview Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection around Elkview. The sizes below run from the biggest armour stone down to the fines.

Coarse Stone for Slopes, Swales and Banks

Riprap is bank and slope armour. West Virginia yards sell it by stone size and by weight class, and it goes on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage. #4 Crushed Stone is 1-1/2 inch clean stone, and it suits trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.

Clean Stone for Drainage

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone. Local quarries list it that way, and it serves French drains, pipe bedding, concrete work and construction entrances.

#67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed size for drainage beds and bedding where #57 Stone is a shade too big. Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells and foundation drains on ground that sheds water fast.

Base and Drive Material

Crusher Run is 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 and 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is also the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Fines and Small Stone

Stone Screenings are crusher fines for bedding pavers, flagstone and brick, and for filling joints. #89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone for tight joints and thin bedding.

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Have your spot clear before the truck arrives, with room for the bed to tip and pull away. A long hollow drive on a hillside lot wants some thought about where the pile lands.

Ground and Conditions in Elkview

This part of the state has the longest working season on the plateau side. What delays a base job is wet ground in late winter and early spring, so timing a delivery matters.

Across the Kanawha valley, river terrace sand, gravel and silt sit on the valley floor. Made ground and old industrial fill turn up in places, and steep hillsides of shale and sandstone start at the back of the lot.

That leaves two drainage problems at once. Flat terrace ground near the river drains slowly and sits high on the water table, while hillside lots take concentrated runoff off slopes that begin at the property line.

Hillside slides and slumps are a real risk on the valley walls, and cut and fill for a drive or a pad is the common trigger. Bank scour and high water do the rest on the flat.

Frost is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure locally for Elkview. Repeated freeze and thaw still lifts a thin drive that was built straight on river silt.

Questions About Stone in Elkview

What stone should I use for drainage in Elkview?

Use clean washed stone, not crusher run. #57 Limestone is the 1 inch size for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances, while #67 Stone covers drainage beds and bedding where #57 Stone is a shade too big.

Drain Rock works for French drains, drywells and foundation drains. Keep the fines out of a drainage run.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and leave room for the truck to tip its bed and pull out. The load comes off in one pile, so pick the spot with that in mind.

On a hillside or hollow drive, think about where the pile sits before the truck gets there. Have your quantity settled and your delivery date chosen at checkout.
