Riprap and Bulk Aggregates for Mount Clare, WV

If a creek bank or a steep slope on your property is washing out, the answer is coarse stone that stays where it lands. West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mount Clare, WV, from crusher run for a drive to riprap for bank armour.

The ground here is shale, siltstone and sandstone, and it sheds water fast when a slope is bare.

Materials for Mount Clare Projects

Slope, swale and bank work starts with the coarsest stone you can handle. Riprap is the armour for creek banks, culvert outlets and the toe of a slipping fill, and West Virginia yards sell it by stone size and weight class.

Riprap holds a bank where water arrives with force.

Below that size, #4 Crushed Stone is a coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone. It works as the first lift over very soft ground, in trench bottoms, and at construction entrances.

Clean stone like this passes water instead of trapping it.

For narrower drainage work, #57 Limestone is the washed 1 inch clean stone used in French drains, pipe bedding and downspout runs. #67 Stone does the same job at 3/4 inch where #57 runs a shade too big.

Neither one compacts into a base, because both are washed clean.

At the fine end, Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints between them. Local yards also call this stone dust or limestone screenings.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Clare

Work around here runs from spring into late fall. What usually stops a base job is a long wet spell rather than frost, because this ground holds water and will not compact while it is saturated.

Time a delivery for a dry stretch and the material does what you ordered it for.

Across the North central plateau and western hills, slopes over about 14 degrees carry most of the landslide risk, and creek bank scour after heavy rain does the rest. That is why bank and swale work leans on coarse, angular stone rather than fines.

Clean stone lets water move; fines hold it.

Freeze and thaw repeat through the winter, and spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth. Frost depth is set by each jurisdiction, so confirm the local figure for your permit.
