Materials for Hurricane Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the work this ground asks for first. On terrace silt and old fill, the pad has to come up before anything goes on top of it.

Start with Fill Dirt to bring a low spot or a washout back to grade. It is bulk fill for raising ground, backfilling behind a wall, and building up a pad before a base course goes on.

Then cap it with Class 1 Base, the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Crusher Run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive. The 3/4 inch crusher run is the finer class, and yards sell a coarser class for heavier base work.

For a patio, a walk or a bed, the material changes with the job. Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers, and Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints.

For a drain, you want clean washed stone that lets water through. #57 Limestone is 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances, and #8 Limestone is a smaller chip for tight pipe bedding and fine drainage.

Ground and Conditions in Hurricane

Across the Kanawha valley, the flat terrace ground near the river drains slowly and sits high on the water table. The hillside lots behind it take concentrated runoff off slopes that start right at the property line.

That combination is what makes an under-built base fail. A drive or pad poured straight onto river silt has nothing to carry the load, and wet ground on the terraces in late winter and early spring is what delays a base job here.

The other risk is on the slopes. Hillside slides and slumps are common on the valley walls, and cut and fill for a hillside drive or pad is a frequent trigger.

Where a slope is already moving, riprap and clean drainage stone do the work that a fines-bearing base cannot.

Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the figure with the local building official before you plan a footing. The plateau side of the state has the mildest winters, but repeated freeze-thaw still lifts a thin drive built straight on river silt.

Questions About Material in Hurricane

What is the best base under pavers in Hurricane?

Build the sub-base with crusher run or Class 1 Base, then bed the pavers in Stone Screenings or Washed Sand. On terrace silt you need that base layer first, because fines and silt under a paver bed will not hold a level surface.

Screenings fill the joints once the pavers are set.

Yes. Contractors order the same way anyone else does: online, by the ton or by the yard, with a delivery date chosen at checkout.
