Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Pickens, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Pickens, WV, and the rest of Randolph County. Crusher run is the base most ground here gets built on, and it is the material to start with on a drive or a pad.

Pickens sits on the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front, where the soil is thin, acid and very stony over sandstone and shale. That ground shapes what you order and how a load gets placed.

Delivery to Pickens and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the load on your site in one pile. Bulk delivery reaches Pickens and the towns around it, including Elkins, Mill Creek, Beverly, Valley Bend and Montrose.

Pickens sits in Randolph County, so a load bound for a hillside drive or a hollow lot arrives the same way it would anywhere in the county. Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives.

Materials for Pickens Projects

Decorative stone is what most landscape work here calls for, and it is a good place to start. Beds, borders and dry creek beds all take rounded stone, and ground cover under trees and along a foundation wants something finer.

River Rock is rounded stone for beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock is the bigger rounded stone for dry creek beds and swale bottoms, where a heavier look is wanted.

For ground cover and walkable surfaces, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and patio infill. Shredded Mulch knits together on a slope and stays put better than nuggets, which matters on graded ground.

Under those beds and paths, the base still matters. Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up tight under a roller on a hillside drive.

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

Drainage and hard surfaces take clean washed stone. #57 Limestone is 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage, and Stone Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and brick.

Ground and Conditions in Pickens

The soil across the Allegheny highlands and the Allegheny Front is thin, acid and very stony over sandstone and shale. On the side slopes it runs to deep colluvium, and bedrock sits close to the surface on the benches.

That shallow ground is what undercuts a base. A drive or pad built without enough base course on top of it will move, so the subgrade is where the decision gets made.

Water is the other half of it. Rain and deep snowmelt on steep, shallow soil over rock cannot soak in, so it runs.

Springs and seeps break out partway down a slope and will run straight through an undrained base.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Slides and slumps show up on slopes over about 17 degrees, and mountain streams rise hard and fast, scouring banks and culvert outlets.

Riprap is the armour for a creek bank or a culvert outlet, and clean stone is what keeps a drain flowing.

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, and snow cover lasts for weeks at a time on the high benches.

Frost is set by the county building official, and no state table gives a figure for the highlands. Confirm the depth locally before footing work.
