Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Freeman, WV

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Freeman, WV by the ton or the yard. West Virginia Rock Supply brings crusher run, washed stone, sand, soil and fill to your site.

Ground here is thin, stony and steep, so grading and bed prep start with material, not with seed.

Materials for Freeman Projects

Start with the ground itself. Hillside soil across this part of Mercer County runs thin and stony, and it will not grow much until you build it back.

Top Soil is screened and ready for lawns, grading and bed prep. Spread it over a rough grade and it gives roots something to hold.

Garden Soil goes into raised beds, planting holes and vegetable ground. It holds moisture better than the native dirt around it.

Fill Dirt raises grade, backfills behind a wall and closes a washout. It goes down first, before any base course on top.

Under a drive or a pad, the base does the work. Crusher Run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, Class 1 Base is the heavier base course to build up with. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class and makes a tighter surface over it.

For water, use clean stone. #57 Limestone is a 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. Stone Screenings, also called stone dust, bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints.

Ground and Conditions in Freeman

Rain and snowmelt off long, steep slopes funnel into one creek and one road. A drive here takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so ditches and culverts decide how it holds up.

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, old mine workings add their own discharges. Acid mine drainage has left hundreds of miles of stream running acid, which is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

This is also the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone units are the most susceptible rock.

Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers. Creek banks scour hard in a flash rise.

Work runs most of the year, 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.

Freeze-thaw runs all winter and the worst damage to a drive shows up during the spring thaw. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure before footing work.

Questions About Ordering in Freeman

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Freeman?

Yes. Order by the ton or by the yard, whichever suits the material.

Each product page has a calculator to help you size the load, and you pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the material on your site in one pile.

What stone should I use for drainage in Freeman?

Use clean washed stone, not a fines-bearing base. #57 limestone is a 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances, and #8 limestone is a smaller washed chip for tight joints and fine drainage.

Both shed water instead of holding it.
