Fill and Base Material Delivered in Ellamore, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ellamore, WV, and crusher run is the material this ground asks for first. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight and holds a grade on a slope.

Ellamore sits in Upshur County, where the hills are steep and the hollows stay wet. That shapes what you put under a drive or a pad.

Materials for Ellamore Projects

Raising grade and building up a pad is the work this ground asks for most often, and it starts below the surface you see. Fill dirt goes down first to bring a low spot or a washed-out area back to level.

It is bulk fill, not a finished surface, and it belongs under a base course rather than on top.

Over that fill, a base course carries the load. Class 1 base is the heavier of the two crusher run classes sold in West Virginia, and it is the layer for a drive, a parking pad, a shop floor or a slab.

Use it where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or as a top course over Class 1.

For a driveway, crusher run at 3/4 inch locks up under a roller and holds a grade. Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on a long hollow run.

Where a soft spot will not firm up, #4 crushed stone is the coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone that goes down as a first lift.

For a patio or a walk, stone screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Washed sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers, and mason sand suits brick and block work and paver joints.

Walkway gravel gives paths and side yards a finer, walkable surface.

For a drain, #57 limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #8 limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage, and drain rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

• Fill Dirt for raising grade and backfilling behind a wall.
• Class 1 Base for the heavier base course under drives, pads and slabs.
• Crusher Run for a tight, graded drive surface.
• #4 Crushed Stone for a first lift over soft ground.
• Stone Screenings for bedding pavers and filling joints.

Ground and Conditions in Ellamore

Across the North central plateau and western hills, the ground runs from rolling to steep dissected hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone. Slopes carry acid stony residuum and the hollows collect colluvium.

That is thin, stony ground, and it will not grow much on its own.

Water is the other half of it. Hill runoff drops into narrow bottoms, and spring rain and snowmelt move through clay-rich soil that holds water.

A base built on ground like that has to shed water and sit on something that drains, or it will not stay put.

Erosion follows the same pattern. This part of the state sees a high rate of landslides, most of them on slopes over about 14 degrees, with road cuts, development and timber cutting the usual triggers.

Creek bank scour after heavy rain does the rest, which is where riprap comes in for bank and slope armour.

Timing matters too. Work runs from spring into late fall, and a long wet spell rather than frost is usually what stops a base job.

This ground cannot be compacted while it is saturated.

Questions About Base and Fill in Ellamore

What is the best base under pavers in Ellamore?

Class 1 base is the heavier crusher run class and gives the compacted layer pavers need, especially over soft ground or old fill. Class 2 base, the finer crusher run class, can go on top of it for a tighter surface.

Stone screenings then bed the pavers and fill the joints.
