Gravel, Stone and Soil for Ohio County, WV
West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Ohio County, WV. Crusher run is the everyday base here, and it is where most drives and pads start.
Across the Ohio Valley and Northern Panhandle, the working season runs long and is held up mainly by wet ground and high water in late winter and spring.
That timing matters on river flats and hillside ground alike. Plan the drop for when the ground will take a truck, and order online when the site is ready.
Materials Delivered in Ohio County
Crusher run is crushed stone with the fines left in, which lets it lock up tight under a roller and hold a grade on a hillside drive. West Virginia base material is specified by the WVDOH Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges.
Section 307 covers crushed aggregate base course, and Subsection 704.6 grades base aggregate by class in Table 704.6.2A, with Class 10 footnoted as crusher run material only.
Class 1 base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and the layer for soft ground or old fill. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used where a pad wants a tighter surface and as a top course over Class 1.

Choosing the Right Material
Marshall County and Brooke County share Ohio County's ground region. Terrace sand, gravel and silt run along the Ohio, some of it deep and free draining, with steep shale and sandstone hillsides and colluvium behind, and old industrial fill on some river flats.
That means the base and drainage reasoning carries across all three. On terrace gravel, water moves through and a base course sits well.
On the silt and clay above it, and on the hillside ground behind, water does not drain and the base has to carry the load instead.
Pick crusher run or a Class 1 base where the subgrade is soft or made ground. Use clean washed stone where the job is moving water rather than carrying a load.

Ground Conditions Across Ohio County
Rain, snowmelt and storms drive the ground conditions here. Water comes off the hills and runs down through the towns toward the river, and on the flats it backs up when the river is high.
Terrace gravel drains well, so a base course over it behaves. The silt and clay above the terrace and the hillside soils behind do not drain, and a drive there needs a base that carries the load rather than a drainage layer.
Slides and slumps are a real risk on valley walls and on cut and fill. Across the central Allegheny Plateau they run about 3.6 per square mile, with shale and siltstone the most slide-prone rock.
River bank scour and undercutting of terrace banks during high water are the other constant.
Frost also matters here. The county or municipal building official sets frost depth, and the nearest published West Virginia figures run about 24 to 30 inches, with the Northern Panhandle sitting with northern jurisdictions.
Thin drives can heave through late winter, so confirm the figure locally.
