Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Horner, WV

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Horner, WV runs from spring into late fall, and a long wet spell is usually what stops a grading job here. West Virginia Rock Supply sells crusher run, crushed stone, sand, topsoil and fill by the ton for delivery across Lewis County.

This ground holds water. Saturated soil cannot be compacted, so timing a load around a dry stretch matters as much as the material itself.

Materials for Horner Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. Thin, stony hillside ground will not grow much on its own, so topsoil and garden soil go down before anything else does.

Top Soil is screened soil for lawns, grading and bed prep. Garden Soil is a richer mix for raised beds, planting holes and vegetable ground.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout or backfills behind a wall. It goes in before a base course, not instead of one.

Under a drive, a pad or a shop floor, the base is crusher run. The local quarries sell it by top size, and the fines left in it lock up tight under a roller and hold a grade on a hillside drive.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course, the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill. Crusher Run covers the finer Class 2 work, where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is a 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#8 Limestone is a small chip for paver joints and fine drainage.

Sand beds the flatwork. Mason Sand is a fine sand for brick and block work and paver joints.

Washed Sand is coarser, for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers.

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

Ground and Conditions in Horner

Rain and snowmelt move downhill fast here. Across the North central plateau and western hills, that runoff drops into narrow bottoms and sits on clay-rich soil that sheds water slowly.

The slopes are rolling to steep, cut into shale, siltstone and sandstone, with acid stony residuum on the faces and colluvium gathered in the hollows. A drive built on that needs a base that will hold a grade.

Erosion is the other half of it. This part of the state runs about 3.6 landslides per square mile, most of them on slopes over about 14 degrees, with road cuts and development among the usual triggers.

That is why fill and base work go together. Fill raises a low spot, and a compacted crusher run base carries the load on top of it.

Creek bank scour after heavy rain does the rest. Riprap is bank and slope armour for creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

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