#67 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Hico, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hico, WV, from crusher run for a drive base to washed stone for drainage. The ground here is steep, and most of it is acid, stony hillside soil over sandstone and shale.

That leaves little flat ground, and much of what is flat is fill. Material choice follows from that.

Materials for Hico Projects

Water is the thing to plan around on a hillside. Rain off a long slope gathers into one hollow and one road, so French drains, drywells and downspout runs carry a lot of the work here.

Those jobs want clean washed stone, not a fines-bearing material.

#4 Crushed Stone is the coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone. Use it at a trench bottom, on a heavy drainage run, or as the first lift over very soft ground.

#57 Limestone is the washed 1 inch clean stone West Virginia quarries list by that number. It suits French drains, pipe bedding, drywells and a construction entrance.

#67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone. It goes into drainage beds and concrete aggregate where #57 runs a shade too big for the pipe or the trench.

#8 Limestone is the small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch. It beds pipe, fills tight drainage runs and dresses over a compacted base.

Drain Rock covers the same ground when you want clean stone for a foundation drain, a drywell or a downspout run on ground that sheds water fast.

For the base under all of it, crusher run is the everyday West Virginia material. It carries the fines, so it locks up under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for soft ground, old fill, parking pads and shop floors, and Crusher Run in its finer Class 2 form gives a tighter top surface.

Delivery to Hico and the Surrounding Area

Ordering runs through the site. You choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and each product page carries a calculator to help size the load.

You pick your delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the material on site in one pile.

West Virginia Rock Supply delivers across Hico and Fayette County, including Oak Hill, Fayetteville, Ansted, Mount Hope and Montgomery. If your site sits up a hollow or off a narrow road, the drop point is worth thinking through before the truck arrives.

A tipped pile of washed stone needs somewhere to sit. On a tight hillside lot, plan where the stone lands so it does not run downhill or block the drive while you work.

Ground and Conditions in Hico

Work here runs most of the year. Long wet spells hold it up more than cold does, so timing a delivery around a dry stretch matters on a hillside job.

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground is the most landslide-prone in the state. Slopes steeper than about 21 degrees carry nearly all of it, and mine regolith is the most slide-prone material on those slopes.

Shale and siltstone units are the most susceptible rock.

Saturated hillside fill will not compact, and it should not be built on until it drains. That is the practical reason to wait rather than push a base course onto wet ground.

Hollows stay moderate in winter, while the ridges and the higher ground run colder, with repeated freeze-thaw. The worst damage to a drive tends to show up during the spring thaw.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure for this job.
