Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Newburg, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Newburg, WV for drives, pads, drainage runs and garden beds. If you are building or repairing a driveway on this ground, the material it takes is crusher run.

Crusher run is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up tight under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive. Newburg sits in Preston County, up on the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front.

Materials for Newburg Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Newburg job starts. Crusher run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material, and local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

Under that, Class 1 base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

See Class 1 Base.

Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, the aggregate base class, not the riprap weight class. It goes where a drive or pad wants a tighter surface than the coarse base gives, and as a top course over a Class 1 base.

See Crusher Run.

Washed stone handles water. #57 limestone is 1 inch clean stone for drainage, French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances, and #67 stone is a 3/4 inch clean washed stone for drainage beds and bedding where #57 is a shade too big.

For fine work, #8 limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints, pipe bedding and fine drainage. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick and fill the joints.

See #8 Limestone.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason sand is fine sand for brick and block work and paver joints, washed sand is the coarser sand for levelling and bedding under slabs and pavers, and topsoil dresses lawns and beds over thin, stony hillside ground.

See Top Soil.

Ground and Conditions in Newburg

Start with the water, because on the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front it does not soak in. Rain and deep snowmelt land on steep, shallow soil over rock, so it runs.

Springs and seeps break out partway down a slope. An undrained base passes that water straight through it, and the drive over it moves.

Slides and slumps are the other half of the story on this ground. They show up on slopes over about 17 degrees, in shale and siltstone residuum and in colluvium, and old timber roads and skidder trails add to it.

Mountain streams rise hard and fast and scour banks, culvert outlets and the shoulders of gravel roads. Riprap is bank and slope armour for creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

The working season here is the shortest in West Virginia. Base, drive and paver work waits for the ground to thaw and drain in late spring and stops earlier in the fall than it does downstate.

Snow cover lasts for weeks at a time on the high benches, and the ground freezes early, thaws late and cycles through freeze-thaw well into spring. That cycle is what tears up a thin gravel drive.

Frost depth is set by the county building official. No state table gives a figure for the highlands, so confirm it locally and expect it to run deeper than the lower parts of the state.
