Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across Fayette County, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Fayette County, WV to homeowners, farms and contractors. Crusher run is the everyday base here, and it is where most ground work starts.

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground runs to steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill, so the base under a drive or pad carries the load.

Materials Delivered in Fayette County

Start with the job, then pick the material. A driveway, a patio and a drain each want a different stone.

Crusher run is the base to order first. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it knits together and holds a grade where the ground falls away.

Local quarries sell it by top size: 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges. Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course and takes its material requirement from Subsection 704.6, which grades base and subbase aggregate by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only.

Class 1 base is the heavier base course, used under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or a top course over Class 1.

Note that Class 2 also names a riprap weight class, so say which one you mean.

67, No. 8 and No.

4. Local yards list #67 Stone for drainage beds and bedding, and #4 Crushed Stone for trench bottoms and the first lift over very soft ground.

For a patio or walk, Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Mason Sand and Washed Sand do the same work in sand, one fine for block and joints, one coarser for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.

Decorative work takes rounded stone. River Rock and Large River Rock suit dry creek beds and borders, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways and patio infill.

Ground Conditions Across Fayette County

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the hillsides are steep and the hollows are narrow. Rain off long slopes funnels into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill.

That runoff is why culverts and ditches matter as much as the surface stone. Clean washed stone such as Drain Rock or #57 Limestone gives water a path instead of letting it sit against a base.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. LiDAR mapping counts about 4.6 slides per square mile in the Cumberland Plateau coalfields, nearly all on slopes steeper than about 21 degrees.

Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers. Creek banks also scour hard in a flash rise, which is where Riprap earns its place at a culvert outlet or under a slipping fill.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Saturated hillside fill will not compact and should not be built on until it drains.

Winters are moderate in the hollows and colder on the ridges, with repeated freeze-thaw all winter. The worst damage to a drive shows up during the spring thaw.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, and the nearest published West Virginia figures run about 24 to 30 inches, so confirm the local one.

Delivery Across Fayette County

Order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load, and you pick a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site. Delivery covers Oak Hill, Fayetteville, Ansted, Mount Hope, Montgomery, Hilltop, Meadow Bridge, Gauley Bridge, Powellton, Hico, Kimberly, Kincaid, Scarbro and Mount Carbon.

On a narrow hollow road, think about where the pile will land before you order. A load tipped at the top of a steep drive stays where it falls, so plan the spot with that in mind.

Choosing the Right Material

Fayette County sits on Allegheny Plateau coalfields ground, and two neighbours share that ground. Nicholas County, in the Mountain Lakes region, spans the Allegheny Plateau coalfields and the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front.

Greenbrier County, in the New River-Greenbrier Valley region, spans the Greenbrier limestone valley and the Allegheny Plateau coalfields. Kanawha County, in the Metro Valley region, spans the Kanawha valley and the Allegheny Plateau coalfields.

Where they drop into a limestone valley or a river valley, the ground is different. Valley floors are flatter and deeper, so a base there meets different drainage than a hillside bench does.
