Ground and Conditions in Fairdale

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill. Thin soil over sandstone and shale sheds water fast, and rain off long slopes gathers into the hollows.

A walkway base that is too thin fails at the edges first. Water gets under the edge, the fines wash out, and the surface breaks up in a season.

Build the base so it holds. Crusher run locks up tight because the fines stay in the mix, and a compacted layer of it carries a path without pumping.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, start with Class 1 base. It is the coarser of the two crusher run classes sold in West Virginia and the layer that bridges a weak spot.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Saturated hillside fill will not compact, so let it drain before you build on it.

Freeze and thaw repeats all winter, and the worst damage to a drive or path shows up during the spring thaw. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure before you set anything below grade.

Materials for Fairdale Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways. Stone screenings, also called stone dust or limestone screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and they fill the joints between them.

Spread screenings over a compacted base and they give you a tight, walkable surface. Wet them and they knit together underfoot instead of shifting.

For the base under that surface, use Crusher Run. It is the everyday West Virginia drive and base material, sold by top size as 3/4 inch crusher run and coarser.

Step up to Class 1 Base where the ground is soft or the path takes weight. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, and it goes on as a top course over Class 1 where you want a tighter surface.

For a walkable finish, Walkway Gravel suits paths, garden walks and side yards. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded option for walkways and patio infill.

Drainage belongs under a path, not beside it. Drain Rock fills French drains, drywells and downspout runs where the ground sheds water fast.

Where a path crosses a low spot, #57 Limestone is the washed 1 inch clean stone for drainage and pipe bedding. #8 Limestone is the smaller washed chip for tight joints and fine drainage.

For the planting beside a path, Top Soil grades and preps beds over thin hillside ground, and Shredded Mulch knits together and stays put on a slope.

Fairdale sits in Raleigh County, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Beckley, Shady Spring, Crab Orchard, Daniels and Coal City.

Have the drop spot marked and clear of overhead lines and low branches. Loose ground, a soft shoulder or a steep grade can stop a loaded truck short of where you want the pile.

Questions About Stone and Gravel in Fairdale

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure the truck can reach it. A loaded dump truck needs firm, level ground and room to raise the bed, so keep the path in clear of low branches and overhead lines.

Mark the spot if you want the pile in one place, and keep vehicles and pets well back while the bed is up.

What is the best base under pavers in Fairdale?

Use crusher run for the base and stone screenings for the bedding layer. Crusher run locks up tight under compaction because the fines stay in the mix, and screenings give you a fine, level bed that pavers sit flat on.

Where the ground is soft or the path takes weight, put Class 1 base underneath first.
