Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Hampshire County, WV
West Virginia Rock Supply sells gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Hampshire County, WV to contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a drive from bare ground, others are patching a washout or topping a pad that has gone soft.
Start with crusher run. It is the everyday base and drive material here, crushed stone with the fines left in, and local quarries sell it by top size.
Ground Conditions Across Hampshire County
Across the Potomac ridges and valleys, long sandstone ridges carry shallow, stony residual soil on the slopes. Valley ground between them is deeper and better, some of it limestone.
A thin base fails first on those slopes. Water sheets off the hillside, the stone migrates, and ruts open where the layer was never thick enough to bridge soft ground.
The fix is a heavier base course before any surface stone goes down. Build up with a coarse crusher run class over old fill or soft subgrade, then top it with a finer class that locks up tight.
Water off steep ridge slopes arrives fast and concentrated in the valley bottoms. This is the dry side of the state, in the rain shadow, so an intense summer storm on dry, compacted ground sheds almost all of it at once.
That runoff is why clean stone matters for drainage runs and why culvert outlets and creek banks scour. Riprap protects banks, slopes and outlets where concentrated flow does the damage.
Landslide density is the lowest in West Virginia, but slides do happen on slopes over about 20 degrees, in shale and sandstone residuum, and on over-steepened road cuts. Rock fall off undercut ledges is the other common failure.
The working season runs long in the valleys and shorter on the ridges and in the upper hollows. Spring thaw and long autumn rain stop a base job more often than midwinter cold does.
Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure. Confirm it locally, since the higher valleys can run deeper than the eastern lowlands.
Materials Delivered in Hampshire County
Crusher run is the base and drive material for this ground. West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, where Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course and takes its requirement from Subsection 704.6.
That subsection grades base and subbase aggregate by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only. Locally you will see it sold as Class 1 base for the heavier course and Class 2 for the finer crusher run.
67, No. 8 and No.
4. Those numbers are how material is specified and sold locally.
Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class. It suits a drive or pad that wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives, and it works as a top course over a Class 1 base.
Clean washed stone covers the drainage side. #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding where #57 is a shade too big.
#4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for construction entrances, trench bottoms and the first lift over very soft ground. Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs.
For finishing work, Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers, and Mason Sand suits brick and block work and play boxes.
Decorative and garden material rounds out the list. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways and patio infill, and Shredded Mulch knits together and stays put on a grade better than nuggets.

Choosing the Right Material
Hardy County shares this ground region, so the base and drainage reasoning is the same there: shallow stony soil on the ridges and better valley ground between them. Morgan County sits on the same ridges and valleys ground as well.
Mineral County spans more than one zone. It takes in the Potomac ridges and valleys and also the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front, so part of that county sits on higher, colder ground than Hampshire County does.
That difference matters for timing and for drainage. Higher ground shortens the working season and drives freeze-thaw harder, so a base there needs to shed water rather than hold it.
For a drive or pad, start with Class 1 base where the subgrade is soft, then top with Class 2 or crusher run for a tight surface. For drainage, use clean washed stone such as #57 or #67.
