Bulk Aggregates for Erosion Control in Princewick, WV

Rain off the steep slopes above Princewick funnels into one creek and one road, and your drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Princewick, WV starts with stone that holds ground in place.

West Virginia Rock Supply sells crusher run and coarse clean stone by the ton.

Start with the size that answers moving water. Build the surface after the bank and the swale stop losing material.

Materials for Princewick Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection come first on this ground. Coarse, angular stone is what armours a bank and slows water down.

Finer material goes on top once the ground holds.

Riprap is bank and slope armour. Use it on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

#4 Crushed Stone is 1-1/2 inch clean stone. It suits trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for severe drainage and hard standing.

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone. Local yards list it that way.

Use it for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

Crusher Run, also called crush and run, carries the fines that lock it up tight under a roller. It holds a grade on a hillside drive.

Where a pad or drive wants a heavier base course, Class 1 Base is the coarser crusher run class. Class 2 base is the finer class, for a tighter surface over the top of it.

Rounded stone belongs to decorative work, not to a bank. River Rock and Large River Rock suit dry creek beds, borders and swale bottoms.

Ground conditions decide the date you want. Saturated hillside fill will not compact, so a load placed on soft ground before it drains will not hold.

Ground and Conditions in Princewick

Flat ground is scarce across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, and much of what is flat is fill. Hillsides here are acid, stony ground over sandstone, shale and coal measures, with mine spoil and regolith on and below the old workings.

This is landslide-prone country. The usual triggers are unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill, and creek banks scour hard in a flash rise.

Armour the bank before you build the surface.

Work runs most of the year here, held up by long wet spells rather than by cold. Wet spells are the reason to time a delivery to ground that has drained.

Winters are moderate in the hollows and colder on the ridges, with repeated freeze-thaw and the worst drive damage showing at the spring thaw. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official, so confirm the local figure.
