Gravel, Stone and Soil for Harrison County, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Harrison County, WV. Crusher run is the base material this ground is built on, and it is the first thing to get right on a drive, a pad or a shop floor.

Harrison County sits in Mountaineer Country, on rolling to steep hill country cut into shale, siltstone and sandstone. The slopes carry acid stony residuum, the hollows hold colluvium, and the narrow bottoms along the West Fork run tight.

Materials delivered in Harrison County

Match the material to the job. A driveway, a patio and a drain each want a different stone, and the local names below are what West Virginia yards sell.

Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material here. 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 material 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. Build it up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or as a top course over a Class 1 base.

57, No. 67, No.

8 and No. 4.

For drainage, #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding. #4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms and the first lift over very soft ground.

Drain Rock suits French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

For finishing work, Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints. Mason Sand is fine sand for brick and block work.

Washed Sand is coarser and levels under slabs and pavers.

Decorative stone covers beds and borders. River Rock is rounded stone for beds and dry creek beds, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, patio infill and play areas.

Shredded Mulch knits together and stays put on a slope better than nuggets.

Ground conditions across Harrison County

Across the North central plateau and western hills, this is rolling to steep dissected hill country. The slopes carry acid stony residuum over shale, siltstone and sandstone, the hollows hold colluvium, and mine regolith sits where the Pittsburgh and other northern seams were worked.

That ground shapes what a base has to do. Residuum on a slope sheds water fast, and colluvium in a hollow holds it, so the same drive can be dry at the top and soft at the bottom.

Erosion is a real driver here. This part of the state runs about 3.6 landslides per square mile, the second highest rate in the state, and most of them sit on slopes over about 14 degrees.

Development, road cuts and timber cutting are the usual triggers. Creek bank scour after heavy rain does the rest.

Work runs from spring into late fall. A long wet spell, not frost, is usually what stops a base job, because this ground holds water and cannot be compacted while it is saturated.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the local figure before any footing work.

Choosing the right material

Lewis County, Marion County and Taylor County all sit on the same ground region as Harrison County. Rolling to steep hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone, with acid stony residuum on the slopes, colluvium in the hollows and mine regolith where the northern seams were worked.

Because the ground is the same, the base and drainage reasoning carries across. Crusher run, Class 1 base and clean washed stone behave the same way on those slopes and in those hollows.

Start from the job. For a driveway, crusher run builds the base and Driveway Gravel surfaces it.

For a drain, use clean washed stone: #57 limestone, #67 stone or Drain Rock. For a path, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface.

For growing ground, Top Soil, Garden Soil and Fill Dirt each do a different job.
