Bulk Gravel Delivery to Inwood, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Inwood, WV for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives, pads and drainage, and homeowners patching a lane or bedding a walk. Crusher run is the material both groups start with.

You are on deep, cherty clay weathered from limestone, so what you put on top of that ground matters as much as how you finish it.

Ground and Conditions in Inwood

Across the Eastern Panhandle limestone valley, the ground is deep, cherty clay weathered from limestone and dolostone. Rock is often shallow under that clay, and solution channels run through it.

A thin base over clay is where drives fail here. The clay holds water, the surface stone works loose, and late winter freeze and thaw ruts the lane.

Water behaves differently on this ground too. Surface water disappears into sinkholes, swallets and solution channels instead of running off.

A yard can look dry and still be feeding water underground.

That is why concentrating roof, gutter and driveway runoff into one spot can open a new sinkhole. Spread the water out instead of aiming it at a single low corner.

Erosion here is mostly soil washing off bare building sites and fields, plus bank scour after heavy rain. This is the driest part of West Virginia, in the mid 30s of inches a year, so bare ground dries and blows as readily as it washes.

The working season is the longest in the state, running from early spring into late fall. A wet spell, not frozen ground, is what usually stops base and paver work.

Winters are mild, but the ground still freezes and thaws repeatedly. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the figure that applies to your permit before footing work.

Materials for Inwood Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on this ground. Paths, garden walks and side yards want a surface that stays walkable and knits together rather than scattering underfoot.

Stone Screenings are the crusher fines sold as screenings or stone dust. They bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and they fill the joints between them.

Walkway Gravel is the finer surfacing for paths and garden walks. It gives a path a tidier finish than a coarse drive stone.

#89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone for tight joints and thin bedding. It suits narrow gaps where a bigger chip will not sit.

3/8" Crushed Stone is a fine clean chip for pipe bedding, joints and topping a compacted base. It is a clean stone, so it drains rather than packs.

Mason Sand is the fine sand for brick and block work, paver joints and play boxes. It sweeps into joints and settles tight.

Under all of that, crusher 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 crusher run by top size: 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser. Crusher Run covers the finer class, and Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs.

Build up with Class 1 base when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface, or as a top course over Class 1.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms and the first lift over very soft ground.

On banks and slopes, Riprap is the armour for creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout. It is sold by stone size and by weight class.

Delivery to Inwood and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load before you check out.

Pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on site in one pile.

Inwood sits in Berkeley County, and delivery covers the rest of the county, including Martinsburg, Falling Waters, Hedgesville, Bunker Hill and Gerrardstown.

Have the pile location clear before the truck arrives, with room for the bed to tip and a clear path in. Bulk loads are heavy, so firm ground under the truck matters.

Questions About Ordering in Inwood

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the spot for the pile decided and clear, with nothing in the way of the truck getting to it. The load is tipped in one pile, so pick ground that is firm enough to carry a loaded truck.

Leave room for the bed to raise and tip without catching overhead lines or branches.

What is the best base under pavers in Inwood?

Crusher run is the base under pavers here, because the fines in it lock up tight and hold a grade. Class 1 base is the heavier course when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Stone screenings then bed the pavers themselves and fill the joints.
