Order Crusher Run and Crushed Stone in Mingo County, WV
West Virginia Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate in Mingo County, WV. Crusher run is the local base material, and it is what most ground here needs before anything else goes on top.
This is steep, stony hillside ground with mine spoil and old benches worked into it. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.
Materials Delivered in Mingo County
Order by project type. A driveway wants a base course and a surface course.
A patio wants a compacted base, bedding sand and a joint material. A drain wants clean washed stone with no fines in it.
Crusher run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in. It locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.
Local quarries sell it by top size, including 3/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch.
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 base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. Build it up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.
Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, for a tighter surface or as a top course over Class 1.
#57 limestone is 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and concrete work.
#67 stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding where #57 is a shade too big.
#8 limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch, for paver joints, pipe bedding and a dressing over a compacted base. #4 crushed stone is coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone for construction entrances, trench bottoms and the first lift over very soft ground.
Ground Conditions Across Mingo County
Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground is steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Hollows carry deep colluvium, creek bottoms hold narrow alluvial strips, and mine spoil and regolith sit on and below the old workings and benches.
That soil does two things to a base. It drains fast on the slope and it will not compact when it is saturated, so an under-built base moves.
Build the base course up until it is carrying the load, and put a clean stone drainage layer under anything that holds water against the ground.
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 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. Arm a bank with riprap rather than trying to hold it with soil.
Narrow hollows funnel rain off long, steep slopes into one creek and one road. A drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so culverts and ditches decide how the drive holds up.
Old mine workings add their own discharges, and acid mine drainage has left hundreds of miles of stream here running acid, which is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.
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, so confirm the local figure before setting anything below grade.

Delivery covers Williamson, Matewan, Delbarton, Gilbert, Kermit, Baisden, Breeden, Dingess, Edgarton, Isaban, Lenore, Verner and Wharncliffe. A long hollow drive needs a clear approach for the truck, and the pile lands where the truck can reach.
Choosing the Right Material
Wayne County sits in the Hatfield-McCoy Mountains and its ground spans more than one region, reaching the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle as well as the Allegheny Plateau coalfields.
Where the ground runs to a different mix, the base and drainage choice follows the ground under it, so match the base course to what is actually there.
Wyoming County and McDowell County sit in the New River-Greenbrier Valley, on the same Allegheny Plateau coalfields ground as Mingo County. The soil, the slope and the drainage behave the same way, so the same base and drainage reasoning carries over.
Start with the base. Crusher run or a Class 1 base under a drive or pad, built up over soft or filled ground.
Then pick the surface: driveway gravel for a drive, walkway gravel for a path.
For drainage, stay with clean washed stone. #57 limestone, #67 stone or drain rock all pass water, and fines in the mix will not.
