Start with crusher run. It is the everyday base and drive material in this part of Fayette County, and it locks up tight on the steep ground here.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Hope

Flat ground is scarce in Mount Hope. Much of what is flat is fill, and a thin base shows it fast.

Pavers and slabs rock, joints open, and edges break away. Water finds the soft spot under the surface and works it loose.

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, hillsides are steep and the soil is acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Deep colluvium sits in the hollows.

Rain off long slopes funnels into one creek and one road. A drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so ditches and culverts decide how it holds up.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state, with mine regolith the most slide-prone material. Saturated hillside fill will not compact, so let it drain before you build on it.

Work runs most of the year here. Long wet spells hold it up more than cold does.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official. Confirm the local figure before you set footings.

Materials for Mount Hope Projects

Bedding is where a paver job or a slab either holds or fails. Get the layer under the surface right and the finish stays put.

Crusher run is the West Virginia base and drive material. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser. Use Crusher Run as the base under a drive, a parking pad or a shop floor.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, build up with Class 1 Base. West Virginia yards sell it as the coarser of the two crusher run classes, and it is the heavier base course under drives, pads and slabs.

For a tighter surface than the coarse base gives, use Class 2 base, the finer crusher run class. It also works as a top course over a Class 1 base.

Bed pavers, flagstone and brick on Stone Screenings. Crusher fines fill the joints and give a tight setting bed.

West Virginia yards sell this under several names, so ask for screenings or stone dust.

Level and bed under slabs and pavers with Washed Sand. The coarser washed sand holds a setting bed without pumping.

Set brick and block, and fill paver joints, with Mason Sand. It is fine sand for masonry work and play boxes.

Drain behind a retaining wall or under a downspout run with Drain Rock. Clean stone moves water instead of holding it.

Top a compacted base with #8 Limestone. The small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch, dresses a base and beds pipe.
