Start with crusher run. This is hill country on the North central plateau and western hills, and a patio pad needs a base that holds a grade.

Ground and Conditions in Lumberport

Rolling to steep dissected hill country sits under this part of West Virginia. Slopes carry acid stony residuum, hollows collect colluvium, and both move water when the ground is saturated.

A thin base shows its weakness fast on ground like this. The pad edges drop, water stands at the low corner, and pavers rock.

Build up the base course instead. A coarser lift under a finer one holds grade and keeps the surface tight.

About 3.6 landslides per square mile occur across this ground region, the second highest rate in the state. Most happen on slopes over about 14 degrees.

That matters where a patio or walk sits near a cut bank or old fill. Bank armour and drainage stone take the water before it reaches the pad.

Work runs from spring into late fall. A long wet spell, not frost, is usually what stops a base job, because this ground holds water and cannot be compacted while it is saturated.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth.

Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction. Confirm the local figure with the county or municipal official before footing work.

Materials for Lumberport Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork decides whether a patio stays flat. Two layers do the work: a compacted base below, a fine bedding layer above.

Crusher run, also called crush and run, is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material. Fines stay in the mix, so it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside pad.

Local quarries sell it by top size: 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser. Use 3/4 inch crusher run where you want a tighter surface.

Class 1 base is the heavier base course. Build up with it when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, then cap it.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class. It goes down as a top course over a Class 1 base, or where a pad wants a tighter finish than the coarse base gives.

Stone screenings, also called stone dust or limestone screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and brick. Screened fines fill the joints and set the surface.

Washed sand, also called concrete sand, levels and beds under slabs and pavers. Mason sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and play boxes.

#8 limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch. It dresses over a compacted base and beds pipe.
