Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Montgomery, WV

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Montgomery, WV, the first question is usually which material to put down. West Virginia Rock Supply sells bulk stone, sand, soil and mulch online, delivered across Fayette 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 and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Materials for Montgomery Projects

Much of the work around here starts with grade. Flat ground is scarce, so pads, drive approaches and parking areas often need to come up before anything goes on top.

That makes fill and sub-base the first decision. Fill Dirt raises grade, fills a washout or backfills behind a wall, and it goes down before a base course.

Over that, Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. Use it when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

For a driveway surface, Crusher Run is the everyday choice, and it also works as the finer top course over a Class 1 base. Both are sold by top size, 3/4 inch and coarser.

A patio or walkway wants a different set of materials. Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints between them.

Under a slab or a paver base, Washed Sand levels and beds. Mason Sand is the finer sand for brick and block work and for paver joints.

Where water needs to move, #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

Riprap is the bank and slope armour, used on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

Ground and Conditions in Montgomery

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, the ground is steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Deep colluvium sits in the hollows and mine spoil sits on and below the old workings and benches.

Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill. That is why an under-built base fails here sooner than the surface material does.

Water is the other half of it. 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 base holds up. Old mine workings add their own discharges, and acid mine drainage is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

This is also the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone are the most susceptible rock, with road cuts and sidecast fill among the usual triggers.

Saturated hillside fill will not compact and should not be built on until it drains. Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold.

Winters are moderate in the hollows and colder on the ridges, with repeated freeze and thaw all winter. The worst damage to a drive tends to show during the spring thaw.

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

Questions About Ordering in Montgomery

What is the best base under pavers in Montgomery?

Start with a compacted base course, then bed the pavers. Class 1 Base is the heavier course for soft ground or old fill, with crusher run as a finer top course above it.

Stone Screenings bed the pavers and fill the joints. On the stony hillside ground here, getting the base right matters more than the surface choice.
