What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone has angular faces and, in crusher run, the fines left in, so it locks up and holds a grade under a drive or pad. Natural Pea Gravel is small rounded stone, and rounded stone does not knit together the same way. Use Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, play areas, patio infill and light drainage. Use 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel where you want a walkable surface, and crusher run where you want a base.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Either works, and the choice is yours at checkout. Order by the ton when you are working from a weight figure, and by the yard when you are working from volume. Each product page has a calculator you can use before you order. It sizes the load so the truck arrives with what the job needs.

Which stone is best for drainage in Morgan County?

Clean washed stone, because the voids between the particles let water move. #57 Limestone and #67 Stone suit French drains, pipe bedding and drainage beds. Drain Rock covers foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs. Riprap protects banks and culvert outlets where water arrives fast off the slopes.

Morgan County Crusher Run and Gravel Delivery, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Morgan County, WV to your job. Rain off steep ridge slopes arrives fast and concentrated in the valley bottoms here.

Crusher run is the material that answers it: crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight and holds a grade.

Across the Potomac ridges and valleys, an intense summer storm on dry, compacted ground sheds almost all of it. A drive that cannot take that water will not hold.

Ground Conditions Across Morgan County

The working season here runs long in the valleys and shorter on the ridges and in the upper hollows. Spring thaw and long autumn rain stop a base job sooner than midwinter cold does.

Time a delivery around them.

Soil over the ridges is shallow and full of rock fragments, and the slopes carry shaly, stony residual soil. The better ground sits in the valley bottoms.

Soft ground and old fill need a heavier base course built up before anything goes on top.

Water off the slopes arrives quickly and concentrated, and banks and culvert outlets scour when it does. Where a slope runs over about 20 degrees, slipping fill and rock off undercut ledges are the failures to watch.

Riprap and clean drainage stone protect those spots.

Frost depth is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure. Confirm it locally, since the higher valleys can run deeper than the eastern lowlands.

Materials Delivered in Morgan County

Crusher run, also called crush and run, is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material. Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser, and yards sell the coarser crusher run classes as Class 1 base.

WVDOH base material is specified under Section 307, which takes its material requirement from Table 704.6.2A, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only. Use Class 1 Base for the heavier layer under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs.

67, No. 8 and No.

4. Those numbers are how material is specified and sold locally.

Choosing the Right Material

Start with the ground under the job. Ridges and slopes here take a coarser Class 1 base first, then a finer Class 2 crusher run course where the surface wants to be tighter.

Wet ground wants clean stone in the drainage run before any base goes down.

Berkeley County sits on limestone valley ground, deep cherty clay over dolostone, with rock often shallow and solution channels running through it. That is different ground from the sandstone ridges and shaly slopes here, and it changes the base choice.

Hampshire County shares the Potomac ridges and valleys ground with Morgan County, so the base and drainage reasoning is the same. The stone sizes and classes carry across unchanged.
