How deep should a gravel driveway base be in Logan County?

Depth depends on the ground under it, not on a single number. Soft ground, old fill and mine regolith need a thicker build-up than firm, drained ground does. On a steep hollow lot where runoff gathers, the base has to carry weight and shed water at the same time. Use the calculator on the product page to size your order once you know your area.

How much gravel do I need for my project?

Order by the ton or by the yard, whichever suits the job. Each product page has a calculator, so you can work from your own measurements and land on a quantity before you check out. If your ground is soft or the slope is steep, the base layer may need more material than a flat, firm site would.

West Virginia Rock Supply sells gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Logan County, WV to contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a driveway on a steep hollow lot, and some are just topping up a walk.

Both start in the same place: crusher run, the crushed stone with the fines left in.

Logan County sits in the Hatfield-McCoy Mountains, where flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill. That shapes what you order and how you build on it.

Materials Delivered in Logan County

Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material here. 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. Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course and takes its material requirement from Subsection 704.6, which grades base and subbase aggregate by numbered class in Table 704.6.2A, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only.

57, No. 67, No.

8 and No. 4.

Class 1 base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. Class 2 is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or as a top course over a Class 1 base.

Note that Class 2 also names a riprap weight class, so say which one you mean.

Clean washed stone covers the drainage side: #67 Stone, #4 Crushed Stone, Drain Rock and Stone Screenings. Rounded stone and sand round out the list, including River Rock, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel and Mason Sand.

Choosing the Right Material

Mingo County, Boone County and Lincoln County all sit in the Hatfield-McCoy Mountains on the same Allegheny Plateau coalfields ground as Logan County. The ground is the same, so the base and drainage reasoning carries straight across.

Steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, deep colluvium in the hollows and mine spoil on the old benches are the conditions to plan around. Flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill.

Choose by what the surface has to do. A base that carries weight wants crusher run, Class 1 for soft ground and Class 2 for a tighter finish.

A surface that has to move water wants clean washed stone, because fines block flow.

Base under a drive, pad or slab: crusher run, Class 1 or Class 2.
Drainage, bedding and construction entrances: #57, #67 or #4 clean stone.
Joints, thin bedding and topping: #8, #89 or screenings.
Bank and slope protection: riprap.
Beds, borders and paths: river rock, Natural Pea Gravel or walkway gravel.

Ground Conditions Across Logan County

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, a thin base shows itself the same way every time. The stone punches down into soft ground, ruts open along the wheel paths, and the surface stops shedding water.

The fix is a base built up in layers over ground that has been prepared to carry it. On soft ground or old fill, start with the coarser Class 1 base before a finer top course goes on.

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.

Old mine workings add their own discharges, and acid mine drainage has left hundreds of miles of stream in this part of the state running acid, which is hard on metal pipe.

This is landslide-prone ground. 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 the most susceptible rock.

Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, 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 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.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure before you set anything in the ground.
