Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Lenore, WV

If you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Lenore, WV, the first question is usually what to put down. For a drive or a base, the answer here is crusher run, the crushed stone with the fines left in that locks up under a roller and holds a grade.

West Virginia Rock Supply delivers it and the rest of the yard to Mingo County.

Decorative work follows the same logic, just with different material. Beds, borders and dry creek beds want rounded stone, and the hollows around Lenore are full of spots that need it.

Delivery to Lenore and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you check out, and you choose a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile. That is the whole of it, whether the job is in Lenore or out along the creek road.

West Virginia Rock Supply delivers across Mingo County, including Williamson, Matewan, Delbarton, Gilbert and Kermit. Flat ground is scarce in these hollows, so it helps to know where the pile should land before the truck arrives.

Materials for Lenore Projects

Decorative stone does a lot of the finish work on hillside property. Rounded stone sits well in beds and borders, and larger pieces hold a dry creek bed where water runs off a slope.

Use River Rock for bed cover, borders and dry creek beds. Where the channel is wider or the flow heavier, Large River Rock gives you bigger rounded stone for swale bottoms and heavier decorative work.

For walkways, play areas and patio infill, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the small rounded stone that stays comfortable underfoot. Walkway Gravel covers paths and garden walks that want a finer surface.

Under all of it there is usually a base, and that is where crusher run comes in. The same material that carries a drive carries a patio pad.

• Crusher Run: the everyday base and drive material, sold locally by top size, 3/4 inch and coarser.
• Class 1 Base: the heavier base course for drives, parking pads and slabs, and the layer to build up over soft ground or old fill.
• Top Soil: for lawns, grading and bed prep over thin, stony hillside ground.
• Shredded Mulch: beds, tree rings and slopes, where it knits together and stays put on a grade.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the washed one inch clean stone sold locally for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. Where that is a shade too big, #67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding.

If you are bedding pavers or filling joints, Stone Screenings is the crusher fines for the job. West Virginia yards sell it under several names, so ask for screenings or stone dust.

Ground and Conditions in Lenore

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground is steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium in the hollows and mine spoil on the old benches. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.

That matters because an under-built base on soft or filled ground moves. Class 1 Base is the coarser crusher run class, and it is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill rather than good native soil.

Water is the other half of it. Narrow hollows funnel rain off long, steep slopes into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill.

Culverts and ditches decide where that water goes.

This is also the most landslide-prone ground in the state, with mine regolith the most slide-prone material and shale and siltstone the most susceptible rock. Creek banks scour hard in a flash rise, which is where riprap does its work.

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.

Winters are moderate in the hollows and colder on the ridges, with repeated freeze-thaw and the worst drive damage showing up during the spring thaw. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure for your job.
