Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in Fraziers Bottom, WV

If you want gravel and aggregate delivery in Fraziers Bottom, WV, timing matters. Wet ground on the valley terraces in late winter and early spring is what delays a base job, so plan the load around the season.

West Virginia Rock Supply delivers crusher run and other bulk material across Putnam County.

Ground and Conditions in Fraziers Bottom

Ground here is river terrace sand, gravel and silt on the flat, with steep shale and sandstone hillsides right behind the lots. The valley is narrow, so the hills start at the back of the property line.

That sets up two drainage problems at once. Flat terrace ground near the river drains slowly and sits high on the water table.

Hillside lots behind take concentrated runoff off slopes that begin at the property line.

A base built thin on that ground shows the same failure. The surface pumps, ruts form, and the stone works its way down into the silt.

The fix is a real base course with a clean stone drainage layer where water needs somewhere to go.

Cut and fill for a drive or pad is the common trigger for slumping on the valley walls. Where you cut into a slope, the fill below it needs support.

Riprap and clean stone do that work on banks and outlets.

Frost is the other factor. Winters here are mild, but freeze and thaw still repeat through the season, and a thin drive built straight on river silt will lift.

Materials for Fraziers Bottom Projects

Fines and screenings carry a lot of the path and walkway work in this market. Screenings, also sold as stone dust, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and they fill the joints after the pieces are set.

They are the material to reach for when a walk needs a tight, stable surface rather than loose stone.

For the base under a path or drive, crusher run is the everyday material here. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Local quarries sell it by top size, including 3/4 inch crusher run.

When the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, step up to Class 1 base. Yards in West Virginia sell it as the coarser of the two crusher run classes.

Class 2 base is the finer class, for a tighter surface or as a top course over Class 1.

• Stone Screenings: bedding and joint filling for pavers, flagstone and brick.
• Walkway Gravel: a finer, walkable surface for paths, garden walks and side yards.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel: small rounded stone for walkways, play areas and patio infill.
• Drain Rock: clean stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Bank and slope work is a separate need. Riprap armours creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

It is sold by stone size and by weight class.
