Bulk Material Delivery in Gallagher, WV

What holds a steep bank or a fast hollow in place? Gravel and aggregate delivery in Gallagher, WV starts with the coarse end of the yard, and West Virginia Rock Supply brings it to your site by the ton.

On ground like this, crusher run handles the drive and the coarse stone handles the slope, the swale and the creek bank.

Materials for Gallagher Projects

Slope, swale and bank work comes first around Gallagher. When rain gathers off a long hillside and funnels into one draw, the material that holds that draw is size and weight, not fines.

Coarse Stone for Slope and Bank Protection

Riprap is bank and slope armour. It goes on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets, toe protection under slipping fill and channel work after a washout.

#4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone. Use it for trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage.

Drainage Stone

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. Local quarries list it by that number.

Drain Rock covers French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs where the ground sheds water fast.

Base and Drive Material

Crusher Run, also called crush and run, is the everyday base and drive material here. The fines stay in, so it locks up under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Finer Stone and Sand

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, fine drainage and a dressing over a compacted base.

Stone Screenings, also called stone dust, bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints between them.

Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.

Ground and Conditions in Gallagher

Work around here runs most of the year. What holds it up is long wet spells, not cold.

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields the hillsides are acid, stony ground over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium in the hollows. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state, and mine regolith is the most slide-prone material in it. Saturated hillside fill will not compact, and it should not be built on until it drains.

Hollows are narrow, so rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road. A drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill, and the culverts and ditches decide what happens next.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure before you set anything below grade.

Questions About Stone in Gallagher

What stone should I use for drainage in Gallagher?

Start with clean, washed stone. #57 Limestone is the 1 inch clean stone for French drains and pipe bedding, and Drain Rock covers drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Where #57 is a shade too big, #67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed option. Fines-bearing material does not belong in a drainage bed.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear spot where the pile can be tipped, and room for the truck to reach it. The driver tips the load in one pile and does not place or spread it.

Have your quantity settled before the delivery date you picked at checkout.
