Jefferson County, WV Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery

West Virginia Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Jefferson County, WV. Crusher run is the everyday base here, crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller and holds a grade.

The ground under it is deep, cherty clay weathered from limestone, and that clay decides how much base a drive or pad really needs.

Ground Conditions Across Jefferson County

The valley floor carries deep, cherty clay soil weathered from limestone and dolostone. Rock is often shallow under it, and solution channels run through the limestone.

That clay holds water instead of shedding it. An under-built base on this ground pumps, ruts and loses its grade, so the base layer has to carry the load the soil will not.

Water behaves differently here than in most of West Virginia. Surface water disappears into sinkholes, swallets and solution channels rather than running off.

A yard can look dry and still be feeding water underground. Concentrating roof, gutter and driveway runoff into one spot is what opens a new sinkhole.

This part of the state is also the driest, in the mid 30s of inches a year. Ground here is gentler than the rest of the state, and soil washing off bare building sites and fields is the erosion that actually shows up.

Bank scour on the Potomac, Opequon and Shenandoah after heavy rain moves ground too. So does the occasional collapse of ground over a solution cavity.

Winters are the mildest in the state, but the ground still freezes and thaws repeatedly. A thin drive over clay heaves and ruts in late winter.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official. Nearby jurisdictions commonly work to about 30 inches, so confirm the local figure.

Base, drive and paver work runs from early spring into late fall. The limiting factor is usually a wet spell rather than frozen ground.

Materials Delivered in Jefferson County

Order by the job. A driveway, a patio and a drain each want a different stone, and the local name is what the yard will know it by.

Crusher run, the local base

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. West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges.

Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course and takes its material requirement from Subsection 704.6. That subsection grades base and subbase aggregate by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only.

67, No. 8 and No.

4. Those class and size numbers are how material is specified and sold locally.

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.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface and as a top course over a Class 1 base. Note that Class 2 also names a riprap weight class, so say which one you mean.

Choosing the Right Material

Berkeley County shares this ground region: the same deep, cherty clay weathered from limestone and dolostone on the floor of the Great Valley. Rock is often shallow there too, and solution channels run through it.

Because the ground is the same, the base and drainage reasoning is the same. The material choice does not change across that county line.

For a driveway, start with crusher run or Class 1 base on soft ground, then top with Driveway Gravel.

For a patio or paver walk, bed the pavers on Stone Screenings over a compacted base, and joint them with the same fines.

For a drain, use clean washed stone that lets water move: #57 Limestone, #67 Stone or Drain Rock.

For a soft, wet spot, #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone that goes in first.

For a walkway, Walkway Gravel gives a finer surface underfoot. For beds and borders, Large River Rock suits dry creek beds and swale bottoms.
