#8 Limestone for Patios in Kermit, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Kermit, WV, with crusher run and the base and bedding materials that go with it. The ground across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields is steep and stony, so the layers under a patio decide how it sits years later.

Ground and Conditions in Kermit

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, a patio base that is too thin tells on itself. The surface rocks, the edges drop away, and joints open up after a wet spell.

Acid, stony ground over sandstone, shale and coal measures gives water little reason to sit still.

Rain gathered off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road. On a hollow lot, runoff arrives from well uphill and moves fast.

A patio placed on fill that has not drained will move with it, so the subgrade matters as much as the stone on top.

This is the most slide-prone ground in the state. Old workings, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers, and creek banks scour hard in a flash rise.

When subgrade is soft or old fill, build the base up rather than bedding pavers straight onto it.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Saturated hillside fill will not compact and should not be built on until it drains.

Repeated freeze-thaw all winter shows its worst damage during the spring thaw, so time flatwork for ground that has drained.

Materials for Kermit Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the finish is won. Under the bedding you want crusher run, the everyday West Virginia base and drive material.

Crushed stone with the fines left in locks up tight and holds a grade, so it carries a patio, walk or pad on a slope.

Where ground is soft or the layer has to be built up, use Class 1 Base. Yards here sell it as the coarser crusher run class, and it is the heavier course under drives, pads, shop floors and slabs.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or a top course over Class 1.

On top of a compacted base, bedding is a separate choice. Stone screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints between them.

Washed sand levels and beds under slabs and pavers, and mason sand suits brick and block work, joints and play boxes.

Drainage around flatwork is not optional on this ground. #8 limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch, for paver joints and fine drainage.

#67 stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding where #57 is a shade too big.

Delivery to Kermit and the Surrounding Area

Ordering runs online at West Virginia Rock Supply, and quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. The choice matters because a base is usually figured by weight while bedding and fill are often figured by volume.

Each product page has a calculator to size the load.

Pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load in one pile on site in Kermit. Bulk material is heavy, so plan where the pile lands before the truck arrives.

Delivery covers Mingo County, including Williamson, Matewan, Delbarton, Gilbert and Baisden.
