Bulk Material Delivery in Kimberly, WV

If you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Kimberly, WV, the first question is usually which stone holds a bank and which stone moves water. West Virginia Rock Supply sells both, plus crusher run for drives and pads, and a dump truck tips the load at your site.

Kimberly sits in Fayette County, where the ground runs steep and the hollows stay narrow. That shapes what you order far more than the size of the job does.

Materials for Kimberly Projects

On a steep slope, coarse angular stone is the material that stays where it is put. Riprap is bank and slope armour, sized for creek banks, culvert outlets and toe protection under slipping fill.

Order it by stone size or by weight class.

Below the armour stone, drainage has to move water off the slope instead of through it. #4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over soft ground.

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

Where #57 is a shade too big, #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding. #8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, pipe bedding and fine drainage.

For the drive itself, crusher run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material. Crushed stone with the fines left in 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.

When the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. Class 2 is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or a top course over a Class 1 base.

Delivery to Kimberly and the Surrounding Area

West Virginia Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Kimberly and the rest of Fayette County, including Oak Hill, Fayetteville, Ansted, Mount Hope and Montgomery. You order online and pick a delivery date at checkout.

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator. A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site, so the spot you choose is the spot the material lands.

On a narrow hollow road, that spot matters. Leave the truck a clear approach and a place to turn around, and keep the pile off any ditch or culvert you still need working.

Ground and Conditions in Kimberly

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground is steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Deep colluvium sits in the hollows, and flat ground is scarce.

Much of what is flat is fill.

Rain off long, steep slopes funnels into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill. Culverts and ditches decide how that ends.

Clean stone in a drainage run carries that water; a fines-bearing material will not.

This is also landslide-prone ground, and mine regolith is the most slide-prone material here. Unreclaimed workings, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers.

Creek banks scour hard in a flash rise, which is where riprap earns its place.

Work runs most of the year, 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.

Time a delivery for a dry stretch when you can.

Questions About Ordering in Kimberly

What stone should I use for drainage in Kimberly?

Use clean, washed stone so water passes through instead of sitting in fines. #4 Crushed Stone suits trench bottoms and heavy drainage, #57 Limestone and #67 Stone suit French drains and pipe bedding, and #8 Limestone suits fine drainage and joints.

Drain Rock is another clean option for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear approach, a firm place for the truck to stand, and a decided spot for the pile. The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick ground you can work from and keep the pile clear of any ditch or culvert.

On a hollow road, make sure the truck can turn around.
