Bulk Gravel Delivery to Hilltop, WV

If you are bedding pavers or pouring flatwork in Hilltop, gravel and aggregate delivery in Hilltop, WV starts with what goes under the slab. West Virginia Rock Supply sells crusher run, clean stone, sand and soil in bulk, delivered by the ton or the yard.

In Fayette County the ground under the work is often stony and steep, so the base carries the job.

Ground and Conditions in Hilltop

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill. Hillsides here are acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium down in the hollows.

A thin base over that ground shows its failure fast. The surface pumps, ruts and shifts under a wheel, and a paver course laid on it will not stay level.

Narrow hollows decide where water goes. Rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill.

Culverts and ditches carry the load.

This is also landslide-prone ground, and mine regolith is the most slide-prone material on it. Saturated hillside fill will not compact, so it should not be built on until it drains.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Repeated freeze-thaw runs all winter, and the worst damage to a drive shows up during the spring thaw.

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

Materials for Hilltop Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the wrong material shows up first. The base has to lock up and hold a grade, and the bedding layer has to sit flat and drain.

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. See Crusher Run.

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.

West Virginia yards sell it as the coarser of the two crusher run classes. See Class 1 Base.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives. It also works as a top course over a Class 1 base.

Stone screenings, also called stone dust or limestone screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints between them. West Virginia yards sell them under several names.

See Stone Screenings.

Washed sand is the coarser sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers. Mason sand is finer, and it suits brick and block work and paver joints.

See Washed Sand and Mason Sand.

Where a bed or a downspout run needs to shed water, clean stone does that work. #57 limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for drainage and pipe bedding, and #8 limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage.

See #57 Limestone.

Questions About Gravel and Stone in Hilltop

What gravel is best for a driveway in Hilltop?

Crusher run is the standard choice for a West Virginia drive. The fines in it let the stone lock up and hold a grade on a hillside, which clean stone will not do.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, start with Class 1 base and top it with the finer Class 2. See Crusher Run and Class 1 Base.

How much material will my project need?

It depends on the area you are covering and the depth you are building to. Each product page has a calculator, and quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.
