Riprap and Bulk Aggregates for Napier, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Napier, WV, by the ton. Crusher run is the everyday base and drive material here, crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up under a roller.

Napier sits in Braxton County, on ground that is mostly steep, stony hillside. That shapes which stone a job needs.

Materials for Napier Projects

Most of the work on this ground is holding a slope, a swale or a creek bank in place. Coarse, angular stone does that work.

The finer material comes after, for the surface.

Start at the coarse end. Riprap is bank and slope armour.

It goes on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, hard standing and severe drainage. #4 Crushed Stone is 1-1/2 inch clean stone, and it works as a trench bottom or a first lift over very soft ground.

For water that has to move, #57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances. #67 Stone is the 3/4 inch version where #57 runs a shade big.

Then the base courses. Class 1 Base is the heavier base under drives, parking pads and slabs, and the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Crusher Run is the finer class, a tighter surface and a good top course over Class 1.

Finishing materials round it out. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone.

River Rock fills beds and borders, and Top Soil covers thin hillside ground before seeding.

Ground and Conditions in Napier

Work runs from spring into late fall. A long wet spell, not frost, is usually what stops a base job.

This ground holds water and cannot be compacted while it is saturated.

The hillsides here are shale, siltstone and sandstone under acid stony soil, with colluvium in the hollows. Slopes over about 14 degrees are where the slipping starts, and road cuts and old fill are the usual triggers.

That is why riprap and clean drainage stone matter more than a thick base in a lot of spots. Water has to leave the slope before anything on it holds.

Questions About Stone in Napier

What stone should I use for drainage in Napier?

Clean washed stone is what drains. #57 limestone and #67 stone are the usual picks for French drains, pipe bedding and downspout runs.

#4 crushed stone handles trench bottoms and very soft ground. Riprap covers bank and channel work.

Fines-bearing material like crusher run does not drain, so keep it out of a drainage run.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear spot for the pile and room for a truck to reach it. The load is tipped in one pile, so pick where you want it before the truck backs in.

Have your quantity settled at checkout and the delivery date chosen. If the ground is soft from rain, wait for it to dry so the truck can get in and out.
