Bulk Material Delivery in Montrose, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Montrose, WV. Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load before you order.

Start with crusher run if you are building a drive or a pad.

Ground here is thin, acid and stony over sandstone and shale, and the slopes shed water instead of holding it. That shapes what you put down and in what order.

Materials for Montrose Projects

Slope, swale and bank work starts with coarse, angular stone. Rounded stone will not hold a bank, so the protection work here runs to the big open sizes first.

Riprap is bank and slope armour. Use it on creek and hollow banks, at culvert outlets, and under a fill that has started to slip.

#4 Crushed Stone is 1-1/2 inch clean stone. It goes down as a first lift over very soft ground and at trench bottoms.

Railroad Ballast is the coarse angular option for hard standing and severe drainage where water moves fast.

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone. Local yards list it that way, and it suits French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

For base work, Class 1 Base is the heavier course under drives, parking pads and shop floors. It is also the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Crusher Run is the everyday West Virginia drive material. The fines stay in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base on a long hollow drive.

On the finer end, Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick, and fill the joints between them.

Delivery to Montrose and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. You pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load in one pile at your site.

Montrose sits in Randolph County, and delivery covers the towns around it, including Elkins, Mill Creek, Beverly, Valley Bend and Norton.

Have the pile location clear before the truck arrives. The truck tips where you set the pile, so a spot you can reach with a machine afterward saves you work.

Ground and Conditions in Montrose

This is the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front, and it carries the shortest working season in West Virginia. Base, drive and paver work waits for the ground to thaw and drain in late spring, and it stops earlier in the fall than it does downstate.

Plan the delivery around that window rather than against it. Snow cover lasts for weeks at a time on the high benches, and a load tipped onto frozen ground is a load you cannot work.

Across this part of the state, rain and deep snowmelt fall on steep, shallow soil over rock. Water cannot soak in, so it runs, and springs and seeps break out partway down a slope.

An undrained base will take that water straight through it. That is why a clean drainage layer and coarse stone at the outlets matter more here than the surface material does.

The same water drives slides and slumps on slopes over about 17 degrees, in shale and siltstone and in colluvium, with old timber roads and skidder trails adding to it. Mountain streams rise hard and fast and scour banks and culvert outlets.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure for the highlands. Expect it to run deeper than the roughly 24 to 30 inches used in the lower parts of the state, and confirm locally.

Questions from Montrose Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Montrose?

Use clean, washed stone for drainage, because fines block the flow. #57 Limestone is the usual 1 inch clean size for French drains, pipe bedding and downspout runs.

#67 Stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds, and #4 Crushed Stone suits trench bottoms and heavy drainage. Drain Rock covers foundation drains and drywells.

Keep fines-bearing crusher run out of a drainage layer.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the pile location clear and reachable, and make sure the truck can get to it. A dump truck tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot you can work from afterward.

Anything in the way, including parked vehicles, low branches or a soft edge, is easier to move before the truck is on site. Order your quantity by the ton or yard first.
