Materials for Ghent Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. Thin, stony hillside ground will not grow much on its own, so build it back with material made for the job.

Top Soil is screened and ready for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden Soil suits raised beds, planting holes and vegetable ground.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout or backfills behind a wall. A base course goes on top of it.

Under a drive, a parking pad or a slab, use a compacted base. Crusher Run is the everyday West Virginia drive material, crushed stone with the fines left in.

It locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive. Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for soft ground or old fill.

For drainage, use clean washed stone. #57 Limestone is 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. Riprap armours creek banks, culvert outlets and slipping fill.

Sand beds and levels. Mason Sand works brick and block, paver joints and play boxes.

Washed Sand is the coarser sand for levelling and bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Ghent

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

Ground across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields is acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Deep colluvium sits in the hollows and flat ground is scarce.

Much of what is flat is fill, and saturated hillside fill will not compact. Let it drain before you build on it.

This is landslide-prone ground. Mine regolith, unreclaimed workings, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers, and creek banks scour hard in a flash rise.

Armour those banks with riprap and keep water moving away from the toe of any slope. Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold.

Freeze-thaw repeats 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.
