Naoma sits in Raleigh County on ground that is steep, stony and quick to shed water, so what goes under a patio matters as much as what sits on top of it.

Ground and Conditions in Naoma

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill. Hillsides carry acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with deep colluvium gathered in the hollows.

That ground is also the most landslide-prone in the state. Slipping fill and old mine regolith are the usual triggers, and creek banks scour hard when water rises fast.

A thin base fails here in a way you can see. The surface shifts, joints open, and the pavers rock no matter how tight they looked at first.

The fix is a base that reaches stable, well-drained ground and a bedding layer that stays put on top of it. On saturated hillside fill, nothing compacts until the ground drains, so timing matters more than effort.

Work runs most of the year in this part of West Virginia, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Freeze and thaw repeat all winter, and the worst damage to a drive or pad shows up during the spring thaw.

Materials for Naoma Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where a patio is won or lost. Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints between them.

Local yards sell them as screenings or stone dust rather than by a spec number.

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch. It beds pipe, dresses over a compacted base and handles fine drainage around a patio edge.

West Virginia quarries list it as #8 limestone.

Under the bedding comes the base. Crusher Run, also called crush and run, is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade.

It is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material, sold by top size at 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, step up to Class 1 Base. That is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs.

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

For the sand and finish work, Washed Sand is the coarser washed sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers. Mason Sand is the finer sand for brick and block work and paver joints.

Questions About Ordering in Naoma

What gravel is best for a driveway in Naoma?

It depends on what is under the drive. Crusher run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material, and it holds a grade on a hillside.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, Class 1 Base is the heavier course to build up first. Class 2 base gives a tighter surface and works as a top course over Class 1.

How much material will my project need?

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to size the load. Have your measurements ready before you start.

If the ground is saturated hillside fill, wait until it drains, because wet fill will not compact and the base will not hold.
