Materials for Mathias Projects

Start coarse. The stone that protects a bank, a swale or an outlet on this ground is the stone that holds when water arrives all at once.

Riprap is bank and slope armour. Use it on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets, toe protection under slipping fill, and channel work after a washout.

West Virginia yards sell it by stone size and by weight class.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage where you need open voids that will not close up.

#4 Crushed Stone is clean 1-1/2 inch stone. It goes on construction entrances, trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone. Use it for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding, concrete work and construction entrances.

#67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds, concrete aggregate and bedding where #57 is a shade too big.

Below the clean stone, crusher run does the everyday work. 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.

Go heavier with Class 1 Base under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill. The finer crusher run class, Class 2 base, tightens a drive or pad surface and tops a Class 1 layer.

For finer work, #8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, pipe bedding, fine drainage and dressing over a compacted base. Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill joints.

Rounded decorative options cover dry creek beds, borders and walkways. River Rock and Large River Rock suit dry creek beds and swale bottoms.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel works for walkways, play areas and patio infill.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand serves brick and block work, paver joints and play boxes.

Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding. Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns, grading and raised beds, and Fill Dirt raises grade or backfills behind a wall before a base course goes on top.

Ground and Conditions in Mathias

Across the Potomac ridges and valleys, the working season runs long in the valleys and short on the ridges and in the upper hollows. Spring thaw and long autumn rain stop a base job far more often than midwinter cold does.

Time a delivery around that. Ground that is saturated will not take a base course, and a load tipped on soft ground can sink before you spread it.

The soil on the slopes here is shaly, stony and shallow, full of rock fragments. Valley ground between the ridges is better, some of it limestone.

On the ridges, expect to build up before you surface anything.

Erosion pressure is low in this part of the state, but slides do happen on slopes over about 20 degrees, in shale and sandstone residuum, and on over-steepened road cuts. Rock fall off undercut ledges is the other common failure.

Water off steep ridge slopes arrives quickly and concentrated in the valley bottoms, and it scours banks and culvert outlets when it comes. That is why coarse stone belongs at the outlet and along the toe, not finer material that moves.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no statewide figure applies. Confirm it locally before you set anything that depends on it, since the higher valleys can run deeper than the eastern lowlands.

Questions About Stone in Mathias

What stone should I use for drainage in Mathias?

Use clean, washed stone so water moves through the voids instead of pooling. #57 Limestone handles French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#67 Stone fits drainage beds and bedding where #57 runs a shade too big, and #4 Crushed Stone covers trench bottoms and heavy drainage. For bank and outlet protection, Riprap is the right call.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the pile spot clear, firm and reachable, with room for a dump truck to pull in and out. The driver tips the load in one pile and does not place or spread it, so pick a spot you can work from with your own equipment.
