Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across Lincoln County, WV
West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Lincoln County, WV. If you are building a driveway up a hollow or setting a pad for a shop, crusher run is the material that starts the job.
This is steep, stony ground over sandstone, shale and coal measures, and flat ground is scarce. The material you put down has to hold a grade and shed water off a slope.
Ground Conditions Across Lincoln County
Rain and snowmelt off long, steep slopes gather fast in narrow hollows. A drive here takes runoff collected from well uphill, so culverts and ditches carry the load.
Old mine workings add their own discharges. Acid mine drainage has left hundreds of miles of stream across the coalfields running acid, which is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.
This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. LiDAR mapping counts about 4.6 slides per square mile in the Cumberland Plateau coalfields, nearly all on slopes steeper than about 21 degrees.
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, and creek banks scour hard in a flash rise.
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.
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 set footings.
Materials Delivered in Lincoln County
Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material here, also called crush and run. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it 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. West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, and Section 307 takes its requirement from Subsection 704.6, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only.
Class 1 base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.
Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface than the coarse base gives, and as a top course over a Class 1 base. Note that Class 2 also names a riprap weight class, so be clear which one you mean.

On a narrow hollow road, look at the approach before the truck arrives. Soft shoulders and low limbs are the usual problems on these routes.
Choosing the Right Material
Kanawha County spans more than one ground region, taking in both the Kanawha valley and the Allegheny Plateau coalfields. Putnam County sits on Kanawha valley ground, river terrace sand, gravel and silt on the valley floor.
Cabell County is different again, on Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle ground, with terrace sand and gravel along the Ohio and steep shale and sandstone hillsides immediately behind.
Where a neighbour sits on river terrace, the ground is deeper and freer draining than the hillside residuum here. That changes the base choice, because terrace ground sheds water and hillside fill holds it.
On this county's stony residuum and mine spoil, a fines-bearing base such as crusher run is the layer that holds a grade. Clean washed stone belongs in the drainage run, not under the drive.
