Class 1 Base Delivery for Myra, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Myra, WV. Crusher run is the local base material, crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Myra sits in Lincoln County on ground that is mostly steep hillside and hollow. Flat ground here is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.

Delivery to Myra and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout, then you choose a delivery date.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile at the site. Plan where that pile lands before the truck arrives.

Delivery runs to Myra and to the rest of Lincoln County, including Hamlin, Alum Creek, West Hamlin, Harts and Alkol. Narrow hollow roads are common here, so it helps to know your access before you order.

Materials for Myra Projects

Raising grade and building up a pad is the work this ground asks for most. Steep slopes and soft fill mean a pad usually starts with bulk fill, then a base course on top.

Start with fill dirt where you need to raise grade, fill a washout or backfill behind a wall. Base course goes on top of it, never straight onto bare ground.

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

Crusher Run is the finer of the two West Virginia crusher run classes. Use it where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface, or as a top course over a Class 1 base.

Pads that hold equipment or sit near a building want clean stone for drainage. #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

On ground that sheds water fast, drain rock handles foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs. Both are clean stone, so water moves through instead of sitting.

Where a creek bank or a culvert outlet is scouring, riprap armours the bank and the slope. West Virginia yards sell it by stone size and by weight class.

Ground and Conditions in Myra

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields the hillsides are steep, acid and stony, sitting over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Colluvium collects deep in the hollows and flat ground is scarce.

That soil does two things to a base. It drains unevenly, and it moves when it is saturated.

A base built thin over soft fill will not hold.

This is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers on slopes.

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

Acid mine drainage from abandoned mines has left hundreds of miles of stream in this part of the state running acid. That is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than cold. Saturated hillside fill will not compact, so wait for it to drain before building on it.
