Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Gormania, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Gormania, WV to the job you are planning, whether that is a drive, a patio base or a drainage run. Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material here, and it locks up tight under a roller.

On the high ground of the Allegheny Front, thin stony soil over sandstone and shale means grading and bed prep come before anything else. That is where topsoil, garden soil and fill earn their place.

Materials for Gormania Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill. Thin, stony hillside ground will not grow much on its own, so Top Soil goes down for lawns, grading and bed prep.

Garden Soil is the richer mix for raised beds, planting holes and vegetable ground.

Where you need to raise grade, fill a washout or backfill behind a wall, Fill Dirt does that work before a base course goes on top. Get the grade right first and the layers above it behave.

For the base itself, crusher run is the local name and the everyday choice. Crushed stone with the fines left in, it holds a grade on a hillside drive.

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

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is a 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage.

Sand and decorative stone round out a project. Mason Sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints.

River Rock is rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Gormania

Across the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front, rain and deep snowmelt land on steep, shallow soil over rock. The mountains take more than 60 inches of precipitation a year, the wettest ground in the state.

Water cannot soak in, so it runs. Springs and seeps break out partway down a slope and will run straight through an undrained base, which is why a clean stone drainage layer matters as much as the base itself.

Slides and slumps show up on slopes over about 17 degrees, in shale and siltstone residuum and in colluvium. Old timber roads, skidder trails and unreclaimed workings add to the problem.

Mountain streams rise hard and fast and scour banks, culvert outlets and gravel road shoulders.

This is the shortest working season in West Virginia. Base, drive and paver work waits for the ground to thaw and drain in late spring and stops earlier in the fall than it does downstate.

The frozen season is the longest and hardest in the state. Ground freezes early, thaws late and cycles through freeze-thaw well into spring, which is what tears up a thin gravel drive.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, so confirm it locally.

What stone should I use for drainage in Gormania?

Use clean washed stone, not a fines-bearing material. #57 limestone is a 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#8 limestone is a smaller washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage. In the Allegheny highlands, where seeps break out on a slope, that clean stone layer lets water move instead of sitting in the base.
