#67 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Exchange, WV

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Exchange, WV, the first question is usually which stone handles the water. West Virginia Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, from crusher run for a drive to washed stone for drainage.

This is hill country, and ground here sheds water fast.

Wet ground around a foundation, a downspout that dumps at the wall, or a yard that stays soft after rain all point to the same order: clean washed stone.

Materials for Exchange Projects

Water is the job on most sites around here. Runoff comes off the slopes, and it has to go somewhere other than your driveway or your foundation wall.

Clean washed stone gives it a path.

Drain Rock is the material for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. It is washed, so it stays open and lets water move instead of silting shut.

For a French drain trench or pipe bedding, #57 Limestone is the one inch clean stone local yards list. #67 Stone is the same idea at 3/4 inch, for a bed where #57 runs a shade coarse.

At the small end, #8 Limestone is a washed chip for pipe bedding and fine drainage. #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms and the first lift over soft ground.

Once the water has a path, the base comes next. Crusher Run, also called crush and run, is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material.

The fines stay in, so it locks up under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, step up to Class 1 Base, the heavier base course under drives, parking pads and slabs. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class for a tighter surface over it.

Ground and Conditions in Exchange

Work here runs from spring into late fall. What stops a base job is usually a long wet spell rather than frost, because this ground holds water and will not compact while it is saturated.

Across the North central plateau and western hills, the slopes are shale, siltstone and sandstone with acid stony soil on top and colluvium down in the hollows. That is thin, stony ground that will not grow much on its own.

It also moves. This part of the state sees a high rate of landslips on steep slopes, and creek banks scour after heavy rain.

That is why a slipping fill or a washed out bank needs riprap, and why drainage stone belongs under the work, not beside it.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, and spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure that applies where you are building.
