Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Jolo, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Jolo, WV, and the working season here runs most of the year. Long wet spells hold work up more than cold does, and saturated hillside fill will not compact until it drains.

That timing shapes what you order. Crusher run sets up tight under a roller, so a pad or drive built on it can take traffic once the ground has dried out.

Ground and Conditions in Jolo

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill. The hillsides are steep and stony, with deep colluvium in the hollows and narrow strips of alluvium along the creek bottoms.

Rain off long slopes funnels into one creek and one road. A pad or drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so ditches and culverts decide how the surface holds up.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone units are the most susceptible rock.

Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers.

For a patio or flatwork job, the failure shows up as a thin base that pumps and shifts under a wet spring. Soft subgrade or old fill will not carry a slab, so the base has to be built up before anything goes on top.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official. The nearest published West Virginia figures run about 24 to 30 inches, so confirm the local one before you plan footing depth.

Materials for Jolo Projects

A patio or walkway lives or dies on what sits under it. Bedding is the layer that levels the surface, holds the joints and lets water move instead of pooling at the edge of the slab.

Stone Screenings are the standard bedding under pavers, flagstone and brick. Crusher fines pack tight and fill joints, and local yards sell them as screenings or stone dust rather than by a spec number.

Washed Sand is a coarser bedding and levelling sand for slabs and pavers. Mason Sand is finer, and it suits brick and block work, paver joints and play boxes.

Under the bedding, the base course carries the load. Class 1 Base is the heavier course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and 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. It locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a surface wants to be tighter than the coarse base gives.

Where a patio edge meets a downspout or a French drain, clean washed stone moves the water. #8 Limestone is a small chip for paver joints, pipe bedding and fine drainage, and #57 Limestone is the 1 inch clean stone for drainage runs, French drains and pipe bedding.

Wet weather is the main thing that moves a delivery window. If the ground is saturated, the material can still be tipped, but the base will not compact until it drains.
