Crusher run is the base material this ground asks for first.

Grant County spans two ground regions, the Potomac ridges and valleys around Petersburg, Cabins, Lahmansville and Maysville, and the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front at Gormania and Mount Storm. Both hold stony soil and steep slopes, so the base and the drainage decide how a job holds up.

Crusher run, also called crush and run, is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Local quarries sell it by top size: 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges. Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course and takes its requirement from Subsection 704.6, which grades base and subbase aggregate by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A.

Class 10 is footnoted there as crusher run material only.

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.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives.

Washed stone covers the drainage and concrete side. #89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone for tight joints and thin bedding, and Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Stone Screenings, also called stone dust, bed pavers, flagstone and brick.

Sand and soil round out a job. Mason Sand is the fine sand for brick and block work and paver joints, and Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.

Top Soil covers lawns, grading and bed prep, and Fill Dirt raises grade or backfills behind a wall.

Ground conditions across Grant County

Start with the working season, because it sets when a delivery makes sense. In the Potomac ridges and valleys, the season runs long, and spring thaw and long autumn rain are what stop a base job rather than midwinter cold.

In the Potomac ridges and valleys, long sandstone ridges carry shaly, stony residual soil on the slopes, with better valley ground between them. Soil over the ridges is shallow and full of rock fragments, so a base course has little to sit on.

In the Allegheny highlands and on the Allegheny Front, thin, acid, very stony soil sits over sandstone and shale on the high plateau, with deep colluvium on the side slopes. Bedrock is close to the surface on the benches.

Water behaves differently in each. In the Potomac ridges and valleys, water off steep ridge slopes arrives quickly and concentrated in the valley bottoms, and an intense summer storm on dry, compacted ground sheds almost all of it.

Erosion follows the same split. In the Potomac ridges and valleys, slides are uncommon but do happen on slopes over about 20 degrees, in shale and sandstone residuum and on over-steepened road cuts, with rock fall off undercut ledges the other common failure.

In the Allegheny highlands, slides and slumps occur on slopes over about 17 degrees, in shale and siltstone residuum and in colluvium, and mountain streams rise hard and fast and scour banks and culvert outlets.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure. Confirm it locally for your job.

Choosing the right material

Mineral County spans the same two ground regions as Grant County, the Potomac ridges and valleys and the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front. The ground is the same, and so is the reasoning behind the base and drainage choice.

Hampshire County and Hardy County sit in the Potomac ridges and valleys, the same ground region as the valley part of Grant County. Long sandstone ridges, shaly residual soil on the slopes, shallow rocky soil over the ridges, and better valley ground between them.

Where the ground changes is on the Allegheny side of Grant County, which Hampshire and Hardy do not share. Thin, stony soil over sandstone and shale, deep colluvium on the side slopes, and bedrock close to the surface on the benches.
