Buy #57 Limestone in Kingwood, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Kingwood, WV, and the material list starts where most local ground does: crusher run. Crushed stone with the fines left in locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Thin, stony soil over sandstone and shale is what most of this ground gives you, so the base carries the load.

Materials for Kingwood Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is the work this area asks of its stone. Class 1 base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

West Virginia yards sell it as the coarser of the two crusher run classes.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class. Use it where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives, and as a top course over a Class 1 base.

Crusher Run handles the everyday drive and base work, and Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive on a long hollow run.

Washed stone does the water work. #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding, concrete work and construction entrances.

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, pipe bedding and fine drainage, and #4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for construction entrances, trench bottoms and the first lift over very soft ground.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers, while Mason Sand suits brick and block work and paver joints.

Top Soil rebuilds lawns and beds over stony hillside ground, and Fill Dirt raises grade or backfills behind a wall before a base course goes on top.

For beds and borders, River Rock is rounded decorative stone, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel works walkways, play areas and patio infill.

Ground and Conditions in Kingwood

Start with the water, because on the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front side it does not sit still. Rain and deep snowmelt fall on steep, shallow soil over rock.

Water cannot soak in, so it runs.

Springs and seeps break out partway down a slope, and they will run straight through a base that has no drainage layer under it. That is the case for washed stone under and beside the load-bearing stone.

Slides and slumps on slopes over about 17 degrees are part of the picture here, in shale and siltstone residuum and in colluvium. Mountain streams rise hard and fast and scour banks, culvert outlets and gravel road shoulders.

Riprap armour belongs at those outlets and on any bank that has already moved.

This is the shortest working season in West Virginia, and the longest and hardest frozen season. Base, drive and paver work waits for the ground to thaw and drain in late spring and stops earlier in the fall than it does downstate.

Snow cover lasts for weeks at a time on the high benches.

The ground freezes early, thaws late and cycles through freeze-thaw well into spring, which is what tears up a thin gravel drive. Frost depth is set by the county building official, so confirm it locally rather than working from a statewide figure.
