This is steep, dissected hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone. Water moves fast here, so what you put under a patio decides how it holds up.

Ground and Conditions in Morgantown

Thin base shows up fast on this ground. The slope sheds water instead of soaking it, and a patio laid over soft or saturated subgrade moves.

Acid stony residuum sits on the slopes and colluvium collects in the hollows. Both settle unevenly once water gets under flatwork.

Across the North central plateau and western hills, runoff runs into narrow bottoms, and spring rain and snowmelt land on clay-rich soil that holds water. Saturated ground cannot be compacted, so a long wet spell, not frost, is usually what stops a base job.

Work runs from spring into late fall for that reason. Plan flatwork around the dry stretch rather than the calendar.

Frost depth in Morgantown is about 30 inches under the city ordinance. That figure is a footing depth set by the building official, so confirm it before you pour.

Slopes over about 14 degrees carry most of the region's slides, and mine regolith is the most slide-prone material. Creek bank scour after heavy rain does the rest.

Acid mine drainage from old workings has been a documented problem on Deckers Creek at Morgantown. It is hard on metal pipe and culverts, so keep drainage stone clean and open.

Materials for Morgantown Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a patio is won or lost. The bedding layer has to drain, stay put and hold a level surface under the units above it.

Start with Crusher Run, the local name for crush and run. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside.

Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

For the heavier base course under a patio, a shop floor or a slab, use Class 1 Base, sold locally as WVDOH Class 1. It is the coarser of the two crusher run classes and the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used as a top course over Class 1 where a tighter surface is wanted.

Bed the pavers themselves on Stone Screenings, also called stone dust or limestone screenings. Crusher fines pack level under pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints between them.

Level and bed flatwork over Washed Sand, the coarser concrete sand. Mason sand is the finer option for brick and block work and paver joints.

Where a patio edge meets a downspout or a French drain, use clean washed stone. #57 Limestone is the 1 inch clean stone local quarries list, and #8 Limestone is the small chip for tight joints and thin bedding.

West Virginia quarries sell sandstone under the same size numbers, so treat the number as how the stone is specified and sold, not as a claim about the rock.
