Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Mason County, WV
West Virginia Rock Supply sells gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Mason County, WV. Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material around here.
It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.
Local yards sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser. Order online and a dump truck tips the load on site.
Ground Conditions Across Mason County
Across the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle, terrace sand, gravel and silt run along the river, some of it deep and free draining. Steep shale and sandstone hillsides and colluvium sit immediately behind.
Old industrial fill turns up on some river flats.
That mix decides how a base behaves. Terrace gravel drains well.
The silt and clay above it and the hillside soils behind do not, so a base over them has to carry the load on its own.
Water is the other half of it. Ohio River flooding and backwater reach the flats, and runoff from the hills comes down through the towns to the river.
On a cut or fill slope, that water is what starts slides and slumps.
River bank scour and undercutting of terrace banks during high water are constant in this part of the state. Riprap on a bank, a culvert outlet or a slipping fill is slope protection, not decoration.
The working season is long. Wet ground and high water on the river flats in late winter and spring are what hold work up.
Winters are moderate, with repeated freeze-thaw and heaving in thin drives through late winter. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official.
Published West Virginia figures run about 24 to 30 inches, so confirm the number locally.
Materials Delivered in Mason County
Start with the job. A driveway, a pad, a drain and a bed each want a different material, and the local name is the fastest way to order the right one.
Crusher run is the base to start from. 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. Class 10 is footnoted there as crusher run material only.
Class 1 base is the heavier of the two crusher run classes, and Class 2 is the finer one. Class 2 also names a riprap weight class in West Virginia, so say which one you mean.
67, No. 8 and No.
4. Those numbers are how material is specified and sold locally.
A size number does not tell you the rock type, so treat #57 limestone and #8 limestone as the names local yards list.
For drainage, #67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding. #4 Crushed Stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.
For a drive, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout 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 suits walkways, play areas and patio infill. Mason Sand is the fine sand for brick and block work and paver joints.
Choosing the Right Material
Putnam County sits in the Metro Valley, on Kanawha valley ground. Its river terrace sand, gravel and silt run along a narrow valley floor, with made ground and old industrial fill in places and steep hillsides of shale and sandstone residuum and colluvium right behind.
That is a different ground picture from Mason County's broad Ohio Valley terrace. On a narrow valley floor the hills start at the back of the lot, so drainage has less room to spread and a base sits closer to the slope above it.
Jackson County and Cabell County share Mason County's ground region. The terrace sand, gravel and silt, the hillsides behind and the old industrial fill on some river flats are the same story, so the same base and drainage choices carry over.
Match the material to the job. Crusher run and Class 1 base build the base.
Clean washed stone drains. Rounded stone and sand finish the surface.
